Perception of Teachers and Pupils on Equity and Inclusion: A Case Study of Four Public and Private Schools in Rural Kenya
Full text link公正性と包摂性は，2015年に設定された持続可能な開発目標の中で最も優先度の高い議題の一つとされているが，主要な国際的および国内的な政策文書において，その意味や実践についての明確な記載は乏しい。本稿は，小学校の教師と生徒の認識を分析し，実際の学校における公正性と包摂性の実践に係
る実態を理解することを目的とした。具体的には，ケニア農村部における公立と私立の4校の小学校を事例とし，72名の教師と155名の6年生児童に質問紙調査を行った。結果として，教師は生徒の異なる集団間のダイナミックスを把握しておらず，集団活動における配慮は学業成績に偏っていることが明らかになった。生徒は，異なる集団間においてより複雑な感情を抱いており，その感情は，成績の如何ではなく，社会経済的な地位や障害の有無に関連していた。また，教師の公正性と包摂性に対する認識，いじめの発生状況，その対象，およびその解決方法において，公立校と私立校の間に違いが見られた。学校現場において，公正性と包摂性が実質的，実践的な意味を持つには，より明確な定義と現実的で戦略的な選択肢が吟味されなくてはならない。Despite the fact that equity and inclusion became one of the top priority agendas in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, major international and domestic policy documents in Kenya remain with less clarity of its meaning and actual practice in reality. Against this background, this article attempts to analyze perception of teachers and pupils to understand actual practice on equity and inclusion in rural public and private schools in Kenya. A case study of four schools was adopted using surveys with 72 teachers and 155 Grade 6 pupils. The results show that teachers in both public and private schools are less aware of and often overlook the dynamics within different groups of pupils in their group work than how pupils experience it. While teachers focus on academic abilities in group assignments, pupils have more
nuanced feelings for working with different groups of pupils. Their concerns are primarily related to the socio-economic and disability lines rather than academic ability. Public and private schools have differences in teachers’ perception on equity and inclusion, the incidence of bullying, the types of victims of bullying, and the way of handling bullying. There is a need for clearer definition with realistic and strategic options of equity and inclusion in each context to enable these values to be practiced in school settings.departmental bulletin pape
Studies of Trends and Issues in Domestic Research on Social Care and School
Full text link本研究では，社会的養護と学校に関する国内文献を概観し，研究課題を明確にするための文献研究を行うことを目的とした。キーワードとして「社会的養護」「児童養護施設」「里親」「養子」と「学校」を用い，約10年間の文献を分析した。結果，「里親」や「養子」と「学校」を対象とした研究が非常に
少ないこと，論考や実践報告が多く調査研究が少ないことが明らかになった。今後の研究課題として，①全国規模の実態調査，②里親や（特別）養子縁組家庭で暮らす子どもと「学校」に対する調査研究，③児童養護施設―学校の連携・協働という視点以外の調査研究，④学校関係専門職を対象とした調査研
究という4 つが提案された。The present study was undertaken in order to discuss previous studies on social care and school in order to identify future research questions related to this topic. Using the keywords ‘Social care’, ‘Children’s home’, ‘Foster carers’, ‘Adopted children’ and ‘School’, I analyzed literature spanning approximately 10 years. As a result, it became clear that the issues extracted by this study were that there were very few studies on relationship between ‘Foster carers’, ‘Adopted children’ and ‘School’, and that there were many practice reports and few survey researches using questionnaire and interview methods for any of the keywords. It was suggested that four future research topics were identified: (i) Nationwide fact-finding surveys, (ii) Study examining the relationship between school life and children living in foster care and (special) adoptive
families, (iii) Researches on this topic other than from the perspective of cooperation and collaboration between children’s homes and schools, and (iv) Researches targeting school-related professionals such as school counselors and school social workers.departmental bulletin pape
„… uns unter die angenehmen Concerte der großen Componisten verfügen.“ Drei „musikalischen Bibliotheken“ und das Bewusstsein der Musikrezeption in Norddeutschland um 1770
Full text linkFrom the musikalische Bibliotheken presented by J. C. Stockhausen (1758 and 1764;significantly revised in 1771), J. A. Hiller (1768), and Ch. D. Ebeling (1770), one can infer which music and composers were regarded as exemplary in Northern Germany at that time. The awareness of music reception expressed therein suggests that music in Northern Germany was considered aesthetically and qualitatively superior to that in Southern Germany and Austria, as the former had fundamentally showcased its distinctiveness through the music of the “older Italians,” while the latter, on the other hand, had been strongly influenced by the “new Italians,” which was seen as a sign of its inferior quality compared to Northern Germany. The fact that “Germany” around 1770 was perceived differently in terms of music reception between the South and the North underscores the importance of considering the regional diversity of music history, which was still prominent at that time and closely linked to the respective cultural and political contexts. Reading the musikalische Bibliotheken would significantly contribute to advancing research on the composers who, while having played a prominent role in certain musical genres, have so far received little attention in terms of genre history (e.g., C. H. Graun in operas, G. H. Stölzel in church cantatas, F. Benda in violin music).departmental bulletin pape
Triangulating Securitization: Analyzing Media Frames of Refugees in U.S. English and Spanish Press
Full text linkIn the 21st century, the framing of migration as a security issue has intensified,
particularly in the U.S. media. Thus, this study investigated how U.S. newspapers, both national and local, in English and Spanish, framed refugees and asylum seekers from
2016 to 2020, revealing patterns of securitization through a "triangulation" of frames: sovereignty, meritocracy, and responsibility. Analyzing 75 headlines, totaling 675 words (including 120 in Spanish), the study identified key terms such as "border," "Trump," and "crisis," as well as rhetorical devices including implication, vagueness, and irony. English headlines often focused on Middle Eastern and European crises, while Spanish headlines emphasized Latin American issues, notably Venezuelan refugees. Additionally, the contrast between local and national headlines highlights differences in framing priorities.
Understanding these evolving frames is essential for grasping the broader narrative rather than just isolated segments. It highlights how these frames shape and reflect our evolving understanding of refugees and asylum seekers. Moreover, given the significant influence of U.S. media on public opinion and policy, understanding how these media outlets portray refugees also reveals critical insights into the evolving discourse.departmental bulletin pape
The Effects of Age on the Japanese Verb Fluency Task
Full text link言語流暢性課題は，語彙検索の能力を測るために使われるスクリーニングテストである。本研究は，日本語における若年層と老年層の動詞における言語流暢性課題の基準を示すことを目的とする。61人の日本語母語話者の対する実験結果は，若年層よりも老年層のほうが少ない動詞を発することが示された。
クラスター分析では，クラスターとスイッチの数は両者ともに老年層のほうが少ないが，クラスターの大きさには差が観察されなかった。Verb fluency task is a screening test that shows sensitivity to lexical retrieval abilities. This study aims to establish a baseline for verb fluency in Japanese by comparing data from 61 younger and elderly Japanese speakers. The results show that the elderly group produced fewer verbs than the younger group, but compared to Lee et al. (2013), many more correct responses were produced by both groups. An analysis using the Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms found that the number of clusters and switches was smaller for the
elderly participants, although the cluster size did not show any difference.departmental bulletin pape
