Abstract

To improve the nature of university graduates, science education classes were conducted and skills practiced in Shikoku University. The practice consisted of four related classes, focused on clothing material, dyeing chemistry and related experiments. Traditional indigo dyeing was practiced to teach dyeing chemistry. The traditional crafts of making the Shjira fabric of Tokushima prefecture and Kogin, the stitched cotton fabric of Aomori prefecture, were also taught to help students keeping interested in their studies. Group discussions were introduced to enhance communication skills and cultivate leadership qualities, especially in the classes where experiments were performed. In addition to ecology, the class involved history, natural science and social science, to obtain united and creative learning.
