 note = {application/pdf, "This article examines the implication of “Civics” (Komin) and “Civic Studies” (Kokyo), focusing on the word “Public” (Ko, or Ooyake) which is mutually included both in “Civics” (Komin) and in “Civic Studies” (Kokyo).
“Social Studies” (Shakai-ka) has been drastically changed from the very beginning of the new curriculum after the defeat of Japan in 1945. Then the newly established “Social Studies” is characterized by its comprehensiveness and by its close relationship with the new Constitution and the Fundamental Law of Education, which can be called the “Trinity”.
Especially after the so-called 1955 system emerged, the “Social Studies” has been gradually eviscerated, according to the Course of Study formulated by the Ministry of Education (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), both character of the “Social Studies”, comprehensiveness and the “Trinity”. We can find three turning points of such evisceration: 1969, 1989, and 2018. In 1969 the curriculum of junior high school changed to“Civics” from“ Politics, Economics and Society” in 1989 the“ Social Studies” in senior high school divided into “Geography-History” (Chirirekish) and “Civics”. Finally in 2018 the “Civic Studies” was newly added to the branch of “Civics”.
This article argues that the vague or ambivalent meaning of the word “Public” has much to do with the evisceration of “Social Studies” and the dismantling of the Trinity of the Constitution, the Fundamental Law of Education and the “Social Studies”"},
