Students will also explore Makiguchi's unique approaches to reading and writing instruction. Bringing the community into the classroom and the classroom into the community, Makiguchi's synergistic harmonization of life and learning outlines multiple modes of interaction between humans and their natural surroundings. This approach employs direct observation of phenomena, fact, and daily living to elucidate the causal laws connecting humans and their surroundings. Special focus is placedon the contemporary relevance of this approach and on Makiguchi's unique contributions of \"humanitarian competition\", the development of identity in local, national, and global dimensions, and on education as a socially and epistemologically empowering act.  \nVCE 311 | VALUE-CREATING APPROACHES TO SOCIETY, KNOWLEDGE, AND POWER | 4 quarter hours  \n(Undergraduate)  \nThis course explores the formative context and content of value creation as the font of agency, social engagement, and genuine, almost existential happiness. Centered on the non-Western perspectives, radical critiques, and pragmatic actions of Japanese educator and Buddhist war resister Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871- 1944), the course addresses important differences between cognition and evaluation, fact and value, knowing and belief. Framing value in terms of aesthetic or sensory beauty, subjective gain or utility, and social good, the course engages students in considerations of value-creating approaches to society, knowledge, and power, and the educative impact this has for oneself and others to lead contributive lives in an interconnected world.  \nVCE 320 | HUMAN REVOLUTION IN SCHOOLS AND SOCIETY | 4 quarter hours  \n(Undergraduate)  \nThis course introduces students to the thought and practice of influential Japanese educator and peace activist, Josei Toda (1900-1958) . Centered on Today's principle of human revolution, or the profound and persistent inner transformation at one's deep interiority, the course covers the history and context informing Today's early and late pedagogy and social activism, and examines themes underpinning his sweeping and widely popular approaches to education and human development, including deductive reasoning across the curriculum, literacy development, educating society's most marginalized children, educational leadership, test-preparation, and value creation. The course also examines Today's declaration for the abolition of nuclear weapons and perspective on global citizenship as unifying forces across racial, ethnic, and geographic boundaries.  \nVCE 331 | HUMAN EDUCATION AND THE POETIC SPIRIT | 4 quarter hours (Undergraduate)  \nWhat does it mean to be \"fully human\"? This course explores that question through the unique lenses of \"human education\" (ningen kyiku) and the \"poetic spirit\" (shigokoro) advanced by renowned global educator Daisaku Ikeda. Comprising four interlocking ideals and commitments, dialogue, global citizenship, value creation, and creative coexistence, human education is an East-West approach to being and becoming, encouraging and fostering others, and awakening to the fullness and possibility of our shared humanity in a complex and socioecologically interconnected world. The poetic spirit is an expansive and all-encompassing heart or mind free from the fetters of institutional and ideological impositions; it underpins human creativity and imagination, imparts hope and joy, and propels us to transform our inner world and manifest the causality of the eternal in the present. Together, human education and the poetic spirit offer a fresh and necessary perspective on the interdependence of ","cbCaibmFpy6r83kg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibmFpy6r83kg","pdf",131691,"English","# VCE 310 - Human Geography and Communities Studies\n# VCE 311 - Value-Creating Approaches to Society, Knowledge, and Power\n# VCE 320 - Human Revolution in Schools and Society\n# VCE 331 - Human Education and the Poetic Spirit\n# VCE 332 - Daisaku Ikeda's Educational Philosophy and Practice (2) Dialogues\n# VCE 333 - Peacebuilding and Education\n# VCE 340 - Theoretical Foundations of Value-Creating Education","[{\"question\":\"What is the central theme of the VCE curriculum?\",\"answer\":\"The curriculum emphasizes value-creating education by connecting learning with life, community engagement, and socially empowering practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the courses relate human beings to their natural and social surroundings?\",\"answer\":\"They use approaches such as direct observation and analysis of how humans interact with their surroundings, grounded in education’s role in understanding and action.\"},{\"question\":\"Which figures and concepts are used across the courses?\",\"answer\":\"The courses focus on Makiguchi, Toda, and Ikeda, and highlight concepts such as human education, poetic spirit, dialogue, value creation, and human revolution.\"}]","Value-Creating Education (VCE) - Course Overview | PDF",1789909578,15]
