In the field of practice research of visual media education in Japan, many attempts have been made historically to trace the practice of primary education from prewar period to war period and postwar period. However, there are few attempts to trace the practice of visual media education in university education historically. Moreover, there is no historical study of educational practice that focuses not only on viewing and listening but also on Film & Video production and moving image expression as a research target in the field of practice research. Why hasn't the historical research of educational practice centered on Film & Video production and moving image expression been the subject of research in the practical research field of visual media education in Japan? In the postwar research fields of audiovisual education, broadcasting education, media education, media literacy education, This paper reconsiders and connects rare research studies with a view to educational practice with Film & Video production and moving image expression at Japanese universities in the prewar period. Then, this paper examines the possibility of viewing visual media education from a single perspective passes through the prewar and postwar eras. It also explores the possibility of establishing a new perspective of practice history in Japanese visual media education.
