While shouldering the contradictions of modern society, this book specifically examines the foundation of teachers' abilities, which are responsible for creating the "creative relationships" that foster learning, through their physicality.
This book proposes an educational methodology that consistently reexamines the relationships between teachers and students, and between people, from the perspective of bodily interactions. It argues that the foundation of educational relationships is a "relationship of longing," and analyzes the creative relationships that foster learning from three perspectives: "attitude," "perception," and "skillization." It also explains this educational methodology, drawing on specific examples from the author's own university classes. Volume 2, "Perception," includes a special conversation with Kazuki Tani, president of TOSS (Teachers' Organization of Skill Sharing), titled "A Renaissance of Physicality in Education."
"Teachers = Physical Techniques of Learning 3: Skillization"
A teacher's "body as skill" creates creative relationships that foster mutual learning.
By exploring the teachings of our predecessors on the discipline of breathing, spirit, and gut, we reexamine the transformation of "awareness of teaching methods" into a skill that frees the body and crystallizes into a unique style.
