In April 1946, Okinawa took the 8-4 educational system. Under this system, they didn.t have a subject called social studies. Instead, there were such subjects as history, geography, and civics in the humanities.\ And the contents of history, geography, and civics in Okinawa were different from those taught in the Japanese prewar-education. Japanese teaching materials were banned, and instead, they taught Okinawa.s history, geography, and civics, which were called “the WAY of Okinawa”. It reflected \ occupational politics of the U.S.A and the intention of the U.S. military government.\ The 8-4 educational system was abolished only after two years, and then, it changed into the 6-3-3 educational system. At the same time, the subject of social studies was introduced. The conclusion is that the introduction of social studies in postwar Okinawa.s education reflects the wish of people engaged in Okinawa.s educational administration who aimed at making the education in Okinawa at mainland Japan.s level.}, pages = {167--175}, title = {占領下沖縄における社会科の誕生}, volume = {16}, year = {2014} }
