ABSTRACT

The purpose of Educational Gerontology is existed for people with well life. Genealogy work is a part of Gerontology. Shugend? is continued to Budo, which has had a very broad meaning including living philosophy. Even nowadays, Budo is still used in a broad way, in that there is still a tendency for it to be used to define a culture of spirituality and moral values. It is said that Educational Gerontology is not only the interdisciplinary study, but also the international and inter-professional study of aging among various culture. However, in current academic education from K-12 and higher education, the concerned with the inter-professional approach to address aging issues in societies has not been enriched. Because of this, we must develop and implement collaborative learning that is inherent in Educational Gerontology.

Shugend? evolved during the seventh century from an amalgamation of beliefs, philosophies, doctrines and ritual systems drawn from local folk. Budo has had a very broad meaning. Even nowadays, Budo is still used in a broad way, in that there is still a tendency for it to be used to define a culture of spirituality and moral values in various educational setting in Japan. It is said that gerontology is not only the interdisciplinary study, but also the international and inter-professional study of aging. However, in current academic education, the business network concerned with the inter-professional approach to address aging issues in societies has not been enriched.
