以下は、EBLSの講師たちが指導を行う際に基本としている価値観や信念です。
Our Teaching Philosophy
Below are the core values, beliefs, and philosophy in our teaching.

01/
教師・講師は学習者にとってファシリテーターであり、コーディネーターである。
Teachers are facilitators and coordinators for learners.
-
One of the major roles of teachers is to help students attain the next level in their development.
-
Teachers are not the dispensers of knowledge.
02/
生徒の学習発達は、生徒のZPD(最近接発達領域)の中で、適切な教材が与えられたときに起こる。
Students' learning development occurs when they are provided with appropriate materials within their ZPD.
-
ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) refers to the difference between what learners can do without help and what they can do with assistance (Vygotsky, 1978).
-
As each individual has a different ZPD, their learning occurs at a different rate and a different level. Teachers should focus on individual learning development while providing them with appropriate materials or experience according to their ZPD.
03/
学習の過程は、学習の産物と同じくらい重要なものである。
The learning process is as important as the learning product.
-
Learning products do not necessarily reflect students' efforts. It is more important for teachers to focus on how they have conquered challenges and achieved triumphs.
-
More emphasis should be placed on what they can do in the future, not on why they failed in the past.
-
Learning reflection is a key to fostering self-regulated learners; thus, it is meaningful to have students reflect on their learning process.
04/
生徒の意味づけは、人々やツールとの有意義なかかわり合いの中で構築される。
Students’ meaning-making is constructed in a meaningful interaction with people and tools.
-
When students are unable to do a certain task, this does not indicate the students' inability to perform the task. This is because they have not attained the level to complete it.
-
With a mediate tool, activity, or communication familiar to the students, they are likely to be lifted to the next level and become capable of completing the task.
05/
生徒の自信は成功体験を重ねることによって高められる。
Students’ confidence is increased by the accumulation of their successful experiences.
-
For this to happen, teachers should provide them with materials at their optimum level.
-
Optimum materials are the ones that are one step above their current developmental level.
06/
学習とは、社会的なプロセスである。
Learning is a social process.
-
Students' learning takes place through interactions with their peers, teachers, and other experts.
-
Teachers can create a learning environment that maximizes the learners' ability to interact with each other through discussion, collaboration, and feedback.
-
Teachers strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where students interact and collaborate well with their peers.
