Get PDF共立女子大学家政学部建築・デザイン学科デザインコース（以下「当デザインコース」）では、共立女子大学が拠点をおく神保町をより活気ある街にするため、2015年より4年次配当のグラフィックデザイン演習Ⅲにおいて「神保町周辺活性化デザイン計画」をテーマに展開している。本演習は、本テーマに基づいて市場調査を行い、その解決策としてデザイン提案を行うアクティブ・ラーニング型授業である。本年度で3年目となる「神保町周辺活性化デザイン計画2017」は、2017年4月から7月末までの計15回にわたり授業を行った。24名の履修学生が6チームに分かれ、「遊び・夢・ロマンの心、神保町」の戦略ラインのもと、新しく個別デザインプロジェクトを設定し、取り組んだのは、①神保町シンボルオブジェ・プロジェクト②神保町休息イス・プロジェクト③神保町歴史的建造物紹介・プロジェクト④恋の街神保町・プロジェクト⑤神保町・皇居5kmマラソン・プロジェクト⑥神保町個人飲食店グルメ・プロジェクトの6プロジェクトである。本稿は、当デザインコースの学生が取り組んだ「神保町周辺活性化デザイン計画2017」の実践学習について、学生自らの学ぶ意欲を引き出す授業のあり方、地域貢献、またその有効性について論ずるものである。In the Practice in Graphics Design III, a design course offered by the Department of Architecture and Design at Kyoritsu Women’s University Faculty of Home Economics, we undertook a design project focusing on the theme of “Jinbocho Area Activation Design Plan 2017.” The project in the design course was aimed at helping students develop and propose designs toward the ultimate goal of attracting visitors to the Jinbocho area. Interim and final student presentations were attended by guests from firms in the Jinbocho area, university officials, and municipal staff from the Chiyoda ward office. Panels summarizing the findings were displayed at the University Student Festival and in the Chiyoda Public Library. This paper reports the process and results from the viewpoint of active learning and community contribution.departmental bulletin pape
The Education Savings Accounts Program in the State of Nevada
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to make it clear whether the “education by choice” will be financed publicly in the U. S..
As of March 2018, there are six states whose legislature passed the bills of Education Savings Account（ ESA） program, what is called, universal voucher. This policy is the evolution type of school choice. Parents are provided a set amount, which the state pays into their debit account. They can use the money for various education purposes such as private school tuition and fees, online courses, extracurricular activities, private tutoring and therapies.
Nevada is the third state that enacted the ESA in 2015, following Arizona and Florida and the first one to make it available for almost all the students in the state. Any k-12 student who has enrolled in the public school for at least 90 days can apply for the program. The ESA students cannot attend a public school concurrently.
The program was expected to start the next year, however, which has been challenged in the state court. The Nevada Supreme Court decided on the two cases combined that the ESA does not violate the church state separation clause of the state constitution, but which prohibits the public school funding is used for other education purposes. It ordered the state government to make a new funding mechanism for the ESA, which had been allotted to the public school education category.
Although the governor tried again to form the budget for the next fiscal years, the political power balance had already changed and the Democrats replaced the Republic in the legislature, where never admits the Republic governorʼs proposal for the new budget plan. Nevadaʼs ESA program has kept the parents for waiting without the state fund provided for more than two years.
In the Nevadaʼs ESA case, there seems to be a shift of the stateʼs role in the public education. The state has begun to escape from providing the equitable education for all and instead subsidize the parents who can reach the adequate education services for their children. Some research results have proved this tendency. The opponents of the ESA still condemn it supports the religious education and fear that the exodus from the public schools might lead to the shortfall of their fund and ruin the common public good being built there for the society.
To avoid the law suit it is desirable the ESA program should be funded through the tax credit system for the donation to the private scholarship foundations owing to the distance between the state government and religious education. The tax credit policy has been regarded as an effective vehicle to develop the school choice rather than voucher. It should not be the state treasurer but the private foundation that transfers the money into the parents’ bank account for the legal stability.departmental bulletin pape
Children in Poverty at a Crossroads : Impact Assessment of Panasonic Corporation’s CSR Initiative to Provide Solar Lighting to Children in Rural India
Get PDFEducation is commonly described as the process by which society transmits its cultural heritage, knowledge, values and skills from one generation to another. It is for this reason that inequality in education is a clear obstacle to imparting knowledge and inculcating new ideas. In response to the dilemma of education inequality, international NGOs ― working in cooperation with private sector companies ― have taken steps to propose a vast array of solutions to improve child education amongst the “poorest of the poor”.
The purpose of this empirical research is to assess key socioeconomic, education and cultural shifts after solar lighting was provided to approximately 200 children living in rural India during the 2014-2017 period. The key working hypotheses of this study is that solar lighting will have a direct, positive impact ― particularly in the socioeconomic areas of child education, income generation, and employment.
The researcher developed an impact assessment survey and carried our qualitative field research interviews that allowed for an evaluation of various socioeconomic changes and cultural shifts, against key baseline data. Through this study, the researcher sought to answer the following key questions: 1） What socioeconomic changes occurred as a result of solar lighting use at the household level? 2） What is the impact of solar lighting on child education, both in terms of daily study hours and academic performance? 3） What cultural shifts took place as a result of solar use in the areas of family socialization, gender equality and environmental awareness? 4） How has energy saving ― as a result of solar use ― improved the three dimensions of the Human Development Index （HDI）, including Life Expectancy, Education and Standard of Living.departmental bulletin pape

Kyoritsu Women’s Occupational Institute and Art Embroidery
Get PDFInfluences from the Meiji period can be seen in the embroideries in Kyoritsu Women’s University museum. This study aims to focus on the background of the introducing embroidery to women’s education and its influence in the educational curriculum. Since its establishment, the Kyoritsu Women’s Occupational Institute has aimed to produce exporting products and proactively participated in exhibitions. This is, in fact, very much stemmed from the ideas of Principal Seiichi Teijima, who is related to the exhibition office. Through such participations, newest embroidery technologies, works formats, expression, etc. can be acquired enormously. The teaching curriculum is then transformed. The curriculum of equipping female students with advanced embroidery skills within a short time was nationally spread when the number of academic staff grew- when they graduated from the same school and geographically extended and built up the foundation of women embroidery throughout the country. In the Meiji Kyoritsu Women’s University museum, large scale exhibits like folding screens, frames and small, practical ornaments after the Taisho period reveal the embroidery techniques employed in the Meiji period, as well as the development of it.departmental bulletin pape
Dare no Kutsu? : The Challenge of Japanese Pronoun Use for Non-Japanese
Get PDFThis paper examines an example of pragmalinguistic failure - when an apparently substitutable linguistic structure is taken from one language and used in another unsuccessfully. The particular episode here involves pronoun usage in English and Japanese. The first person singular pronoun choices available in English are few compared to the many of Japanese. This divergence is further complicated by the grammatical requirement of a subject in English declarative sentences and the less common use of subjects in Japanese.departmental bulletin pape
