はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の１回目です。シーズン１の最終回は７月でしたから、３ヶ月ぐらいお休みしていたことになります。お休みしている間にも、Youtubeでチャンネル登録者数が増えていました。どうもありがとうございます。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 1 of season 2. The last episode of season 1 was in July, so I was on a break for about three months. Even while I was on a break, the number of subscribers to my Youtube channel increased. Thank you very much.

この３ヶ月、私は何をしていたかというと、大学の入学準備を進めていました。私は大学で美術を勉強しましたが、もう一度大学に行って、今度は教育学を勉強することにしました。教育学では、教育史や、心理学や、社会学など、先生になるための勉強をします。京都に教育学で有名な大学があります。私は現在大阪に住んでいて、京都に電車で一時間ぐらいで行けるので、そこに行くことにしました。大学の授業はほとんどオンラインなので、仕事を続けながら受けることができます。大学は今月始まったばかりです。

What I have been doing for the past three months is preparing to go to university. Before, I studied art at university, but I have decided to go to university again, this time to study education. In education, I study the history of education, psychology, sociology, etc., in order to become a teacher. There is a university in Kyoto that is famous for education studies. I currently live in Osaka and can get to Kyoto by train in about an hour, so I have decided to go there. Most of the university’s classes are online, so I can take them while continuing to work. The university classes just started this month.

大学ではたくさん本を読んで、レポートを書かなければいけません。レポートは3000字ぐらい必要です。私は今、教育原論についての本を読んでいます。この本は、私が行っている大学の教授が書いた本です。この本には、教育というシステムがどのように始まったかとか、どこの国でどんな教育が行われたかなどが書いてあります。ヨーロッパや日本の教育の歴史を勉強します。そして、現代の教育の課題について考えます。現代の教育では、貧富の差や、社会的マイノリティーへの教育、不登校などが問題になっています。「貧富の差」とは、お金持ちの人と貧乏な人のギャップのことです。「不登校」とは、生徒が学校に行かないことです。
