Emergency Remote Training: Guiding and Supporting Teachers in Preparation for Emergency Remote Teaching
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the planning and delivery
of training provided to help teachers prepare for emergency remote teaching.
The broad aims of the training were to help teachers become accustomed to the
functions of Zoom, an online video communication platform, and to consider
how teaching remotely might impact their teaching practices. The first step in
the training was a checklist of can-do statements which teachers could use for
self-directed guidance and self-assessment. A subsequent seven-hour
synchronous training day then allowed for hands-on practice of hosting Zoom
lessons and provided a forum for discussions of the implications of the move to
emergency remote teaching. In this paper, the effectiveness of the training is
also evaluated using data from participant feedback as well as trainer
reflections blended with references to the literature. Overall, despite the
trainer’s inexperience of online training and the lack of adequate preparation
time, the training was a broad success which achieved its intended aims of
preparing teachers for their initial forays into emergency remote teaching.departmental bulletin pape
Exploratory Investigation into Successful and Less Successful Learners of English with Interviews
Get PDFPrevious analyses revealed that the students in an English program at a
bilingual university in Tokyo significantly improved their English proficiency
over their first year. Further statistical analyses such as structural equation
modeling, however, were unable to discover what factors contributed to the
improvement positively or negatively. Thus, to investigate what factors
contribute to the success of English learners in the English program, we asked
both successful and less successful students how they studied during the first
year of their university education in and out of class. The results showed that
successful and less successful learners employed no different learning
strategies, but two factors, English-speaking selves and test familiarity,
emerged as possible factors that might influence the improvement of their
English proficiency.departmental bulletin pape
〈なごり〉考 : 「土地の名」を中心に
Get PDF紀貫之は撰者の中心となって『古今和歌集』を編纂し、後年には『土佐日記』のような斬新な構造を持つテクストを創造した。その間にも和歌の第一人者として、歌合など様々な場で活躍したことはいうまでもない。
その貫之が、『古今集』でただ一度詠んだのが〈なごり〉という言葉である。古い用例を探ると、『万葉集』では同じ言葉が「難波」という歌枕との関連で登場しており、それが物質的な残留物のみならず、意味の痕跡をも指す概念であったことがわかる。それを踏まえて貫之の歌を分析してみると、詠歌という行為を通して歌ことばがどのように新たな意味を獲得してゆくのかを、ある程度まで明らかにすることができるのである。
また〈なごり〉は、「名残」と表記することや、「な」で始まる音からも明らかなように、〈名〉という語とも重なり合う部分が多い。事実『土佐日記』に幾度も登場する〈名〉に注目してみると、貫之がそこに『万葉集』における〈なごり〉と同様の効果を期待していたことがわかる。
歌枕、あるいはその予備軍というべき地名との関連で用いられることの多い〈なごり〉や〈名〉ではあるが、それらを詩的言語の働きの全体を包括する概念として捉え直すことで、古典文学における意味生成のあり方を焦点化することが本稿の狙いである。
もっとも、結果として見えてきたのは日本文化の特異性というよりは、むしろ普遍性であった。いわば「異化」された名詞である「土地の名」に多彩な意味を担わせるという、古典の歌人たちが実践した手法は、永井荷風のような近代の日本人にも受け継がれているのみならず、「トポス」という用語を整備した古代ギリシャ以来、二十世紀のプルーストやカルヴィーノに至るまで、西洋でも確実に重みを持っているのである。departmental bulletin pape
The Role of Social-Ecological Correlates of Psychological Well-Being and Parenting Self-Efficacy among Filipino Migrant Mothers in Urban Japan
Get PDF国際的な移住が増加する昨今，移住者の心理的ウェルビーイングの低下が懸念されている。過去の研 究では，心理社会的エコロジカル要因（ソーシャルサポート，社会的つながり，コミュニティ感覚など） が移住者の心理的ウェルビーイングや養育において保護要因となることが明らかにされてきたが，日本 においてはそれらの要因の関連がほとんど検討されていない。本稿は，都市部の在日フィリピン人母親 を対象に，心理的ウェルビーイングと養育に対する自己効力感における心理社会的エコロジカル要因の 役割を検討することを目的とした。質問紙調査の結果，ホスト社会及び移住者のコミュニティ両方における心理社会的エコロジカル要因（社会的つながり及びコミュニティ感覚）が心理的ウェルビーイング 及び養育自己効力感に肯定的な影響を与えていることが示唆された。ただし，対象者の状況や時間的制 約などによってサンプルサイズが小さくなったことや非識字層の回答を得られなかったことが本稿の主 な限界として考えられ，今後は質的調査も併せた混合研究法により研究が行われることが期待される。
Migration experience brings psychological distress to migrant individuals in the process of acculturation. Particularly, women are more exposed to additional stressors in the newly adopted host countries. In the previous literature, social-ecological correlates (e.g., social support, social connectedness, and sense of community) have been found to enhance psychological well-being and effective parenting among immigrants. However, the relationship between social-ecological correlates, psychological well-being, and parenting have rarely been investigated in Japan. This paper aimed at investigating the role of socialecological correlates of psychological well-being and parenting self-efficacy among Filipino migrant mothers in urban Japan with an eye toward developing future interventions promoting their psychological well-being. The SEM analyses showed that social connectedness in the Filipino community and sense of community mediated acculturation and life satisfaction, and social connectedness in the local Japanese community mediated acculturation and parenting self-efficacy. Also, it was revealed that participation in religious activities and neighborhood activities indirectly influence life satisfaction via social-ecological correlates; and participation in neighborhood activities, school activities, and language learning opportunities indirectly influence on parenting self-efficacy via social-ecological correlates. Although the sampling method and sample size were noted as the major limitations, the current study still provided support for the notion that social connectedness and sense of community can have a positive effect on psychological well-being and parenting self-efficacy among Filipino migrant mothers in urban Japan. As a future research implication, focusing more on the strengths and the resource of migrant mothers and their community by using a mixedmethod approach would be recommended.departmental bulletin pape
