| Research Abstract |
At the Macalester College, we had conferences and discussions on various issues of the project with the staff and professors who are in charge fo curriculums on the campus and educational programs out of the campus. Resources and materials related to the curriculums and educaationa programs were also collected.
Through the conferences and observation on the education center, we could realize situations of multidimensional information education which is well developed int the United Sates of America, and related materials were collected. Additionally, the conference on music education with Asian musical instruments, and the conference on mathematics education and analysis were held, and through the duscussions and participations in the classes, goals and possibilities of revised curriculums in universities in the States were clarified, It was really informative for us to rethink about the curriculums of universities in Japan. Another conference focusing on environment education was also held.
What me obtained through this visit was more than we had expected. The Macalester College puts special emphasis on African and Asian cuntries including Japan to promote internationalization education. It is very suggestisve for us, especiallly when we think about tertiary education in Japan for the twenty first century. More coopetative studies on this aspect from the same point of view will be needed.
As for economics education, images of Japanese economic system from American point of view was discussed at the conference, and various opinions on curriculum as well as money market were exchanged. Cdomputer networking system at the Macaleter College has been more developed than our system, as we expected, and it was as if we saw further developed computer networking system at our university in the near future.
