Information Teaching Methods: Requirement and Course Classification

Information Teaching Methods is required for the relevant information-teaching qualification even when the course table classifies it as free.

Requirement for the information teaching qualification

Information Teaching Methods must be completed for the first-class high-school information teaching license in the 2026 curriculum for the Faculty of Future Science at the Tokyo Senju Campus. It is also required as the university course corresponding to Information Teaching Methods, including the use of information and communication technology, in the 2025 curriculum for the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus. The supplied curriculum information likewise states that the course must be completed for the listed teacher-training curricula in the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Systems Design and Engineering, and the Faculty of Engineering, Division II, at the Tokyo Senju Campus, as well as the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus, for the academic years specified in those curricula.

Why the course may appear as free

The course table may show Information Teaching Methods in the free category under the required, elective, or free classification column. This classification does not remove the completion requirement: the notes below the relevant teaching-methods table state that the course must be completed. In the 2025 Faculty of Engineering curriculum, the course is shown with the free classification, while the supplied course information does not change that table entry.
