    Get PDF
    40021892109This work reports on a special seminar in the School of Human Sciences, Kansai University of International Studies that provided assistance with job hunting (denoted here as job search assistance).Recipients of assistance were 13 students scheduled to graduate in March 2019. Job search assistance in the author’s special seminar began in December of the students’ sophomore year, with students starting the seminar in their junior year. Students were advised in individual meetings regarding how they should spend spring break with the job hunt in mind. Close to half of the students participated in internships, and students were able to promptly embark on the job hunt. In the special seminar during their junior year, students formulated and implemented a plan for job hunting. They reviewed that plan and then deliberately put it into practice. As a result, most of the seminar students developed a tailored approach to job hunting, and they were soon able to find an acceptable job. However, many of the students devoted all of their energies to job hunting, so they put off preparing their graduation work. A topic for the future is providing assistance that helps students to balance both their job hunt and their graduation thesis.本稿は、関西国際大学人間科学部の専門ゼミにおける就職活動に関する支援(以下、就活支援)の実践報告である。支援対象となったのは2019年3月に卒業予定の13名である。 専門ゼミにおける筆者の就活支援は,3年ゼミエントリーが始まる2年次の12月にスタートした。就活を視野に入れた春休みの過ごし方について,個別面談を通して助言したところ,半数近くの学生がインターンシップに参加し,出遅れることなく就活に乗り出すことができた。3年次の専門ゼミでは,就活においても計画を立てて実践し,ふり返りを行って次に活かすことを徹底した。その結果,ゼミ生の大半が自分流の就活スタイルを作り上げ,早期に,納得できる就職先を決めることができた。一方で,多くの学生が就活に精力を注いだあまり,卒業研究の準備が後回しになったことは否めない。学業と就活とのバランスをとっていくことが,今後の就活支援の課題である。departmental bulletin pape

    40021849207Aim: With this review, I aim to provide psychophysiological research on healthy children and adolescents, and those with developmental disabilities and disorders. Method: A literature was conducted study design (EEG, electro-dermal activity, ECG), and developmental disabilities and disorders were collected. The EEG recording was carried out during the waking subjects sitting with eyes closed. The procedure of electro-dermal activity and ECG included baseline recording, a passive listening task, instruction, and simple and discriminative active-listening tasks. Result: EEG research on healthy children has shown that approximately 10 years old is a critical age for developmental transition of EEG spectra to alpha frequency. The delay of this critical age in children with developmental disabilities was found. In electro-dermal activity, the younger healthy children exhibited significantly larger habituation than the older children. Hyperactive preschool and school children exhibited to have shorter attention spans. ADHD subjects showed less respiratory sinus arrhythmia than healthy children. High HR before episodes of stereotyped behavior significantly decreased or tended decrease compared that after episodes of the stereotyped behavior in ASDs. They, moreover, showed that the low HR before episodes of stereotyped behavior significantly increased or tended to increase compared that after episodes of the stereotyped behavior. For children with DS had lack of excise, HR variability of the children decreased in school environment. Interpretation: Not withstanding varying etiologies and varying degrees of retardation of these studies, many findings were presented. The significance of psychophysiological study should be noticed, at least, in the people with developmental disabilities and disorders.departmental bulletin pape

    40021891967At the pre-school education stage, it cannot be said that it is effectively operated and utilized because of low recognition of the individual education plans itself and strong sense of burden on preparation. In this research, we outline the problems of individual education plans in Japan and make comparisons with the IEP of New York, and we make proposals for problems and improvement. As a result, IEP in New York found that by accumulating guidance contents from grasping actual condition based on assessment, we can clarify the necessary procedure for support. However, regarding preparation, it was necessary not to deal with a label based on a label such as a diagnosis name, but to base on the characteristics of children to be supported. In order to improve individual education plans in Japan, it is necessary to incorporate a multifaceted perspective including parents, while using the assessment tool as the basis for grasping the characteristics of children It was suggested there was.就学前教育段階において,個別の指導計画そのものの認知度の低さや,作成への負担感の強さから,有効に運用・活用されているとは言いがたい。 本研究では,日本の個別の指導計画の課題点について概観するとともに,特別支援教育を先進的に行っているニューヨークのIEPと比較検証することにより,問題点や今後の改善に向けた提言をすることを目的とする。 調査の結果,ニューヨークのIEPではアセスメントツールに基づいた実態把握から指導内容を蓄積することで,支援に必要な手立てを明確にできることがわかった。ただし,作成については,診断名などのラベルに基づいた対応ではなく,支援対象となる子どもの特性を基盤として行うことが必要であった。日本の個別の指導計画を改善のためには,アセスメントツールを基盤にしつつも,子どもの特性を把握するためのものとして活用しながら,保護者も含めた多面的な視点を盛り込むことが必要であることが示唆された。departmental bulletin pape

    40021891977In this paper, I reconsidered body making that today’s infant need. I focus on some kindergartens and Nursery schools that the teachers practice comprehensively the childcare content “Health” through children’s play connect children’s daily lives and play. I investigated into the actual conditions some kindergartens and nursery schools and the practice of the play and the body making based on the childcare content “Health”. As a result, I can find the three effective points of practice. ①The children are highly willing to play. ②The children have the power to keep their bodies and have become better their posture. Also, the number of the injuries that cause of collision or fall are gradually decreasing because of the development of their body images. ③The teacher’s positive attitude for the activities give the children’s motivation to play.本稿では子どもの生活や遊びと保育内容「健康」との関連やつながりについて、遊びを通して総合的に指導し、援助している保育園、幼稚園の実践例を取り上げ、現在の子どもたちに必要なからだづくりの捉え直しをおこなった。そして保育、幼児教育の場において、実態把握を的確に行ったうえで、保育内容 領域「健康」の内容に対応した遊びやからだづくりを中心に実践することで①子どもたちが主体的に「遊ぶ」ということに対して意欲が出てきた。②体を支持する力がつき、姿勢全般がよくなってきた。ボティイメージが発達することによって、衝突や転倒等の怪我が徐々に減少傾向にある。③教師が変わってくると、子どもも活動に対して、より意欲的になる。等の知見、効果が得られた。departmental bulletin pape

    40021892059PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to obtain suggestions for studying new educational methods by clarifying the characteristics of practical nursing students' highly invasive "venous blood draw" practice. Subjects and Methods: The subjects are third graders of the nursing department of University A and "venous blood sampling" is performed on a puncturable blood sampling model. Anxiety before implementation, physiological responses before and after implementation, and visual line trajectory underway were measured. Analysis was performed using Excel statistic ver. 7.0 (Esmi) for analysis and the anxiety before "venous blood sampling" was evaluated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient according to the score of the new edition STAI, the gaze trajectory being performed and the total execution time, Friedman test, index of gaze trajectory and anxiety were tested by Pearman's rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Nine graders students agreed to participate in the study. There was no tendency for participants to have a high anxiety awareness when implementing "venous blood draw". In addition, it is highly likely that the gaze trajectory of the students who practice "venous blood sampling" and anxiety are likely to correlate, and the anxiety currently recognized more strongly than the characteristic of the original individual such as characteristic uneasiness It was exercising. Discussion: From the results, it seems effective to use the psychological aspect such as anxiety and the gaze trajectory to capture the characteristics of nursing students who practice highly invasive post nursing techniques. In the future, it is necessary to increase the number of subjects and conduct detailed investigation. In addition, from this study, it was suggested that training for technical exercises is provided with learning opportunities at the timing of student situation, and repetitive practice is effective.目的:本研究の目的は、看護学生とって侵襲性の高い「静脈血採血」実践における特徴を明らかにすることにより、新たな教育方法検討のための示唆をえることである。 対象と方法:対象は、A大学看護学科の3年生とし、穿刺可能な採血モデルに「静脈血採血」を実施する。実施前の不安と実施前後の生理的反応、実施中の視線軌跡を測定した。分析は、析にはExcel統計ver.7.0(株式会社エスミ)を用いて行い、「静脈血採血」実施前の不安は新版STAIの得点によりスピアマンの順位相関係数による検定、実施中の視線軌跡の指標と総実施時間について、フリードマン検定、視線軌跡の指標と不安についてピアマンの順位相関係数による検定を行った。 結果:3年生9名の学生が研究参加に同意した。「静脈血採血」実施に際し、参加者が高い不安の認識を持つ傾向はみられなかった。また、「静脈血採血」を実践する学生の視線軌跡と不安は相関する可能性が高く、特性不安のような本来の個人の特性よりも、現在認識している不安の方が強く影響を及ぼしていた。 考察:結果より、侵襲性の高い看護後術を実践する看護学生の特徴を捉えるのに、不安などの心理的側面と視線軌跡を用いるのは有効だと思われた。今後は、対象数を増やして詳細な調査を行う必要がある。また、今回の研究から、技術演習の教育には、学生の状況を見極めたタイミングで学習の機会が提供されること、繰り返しの練習が効果的であることが示唆された。departmental bulletin pape

    40021849218Along with the progress of globalization, the provision of higher education beyond national borders has spread, which has various problems in terms of educational connection and quality. Meanwhile, in many countries including Japan, expectations for flipped-classroom are attracting attention in recent years as one of the efforts to encourage university students to learn autonomously.In this paper, in order to contribute to the globalization of university education, the results of the questionnaire survey conducted to grasp how the university students in China, from which a lot of students are sent to overseas as international students, think of the educational form of flipped-classroom was reported mainly.The analysis results showed the actual state about how to understand flipped-classroom from learner side, and some potential possibilities of application of the flipped-classroom method to cross-border educational connection.グローバル化の進展に伴い、国境を越えた高等教育の提供が広がりを見せているが、教育接続や質保証の面ではさまざまな課題を抱えている。一方で日本を含む多くの国では、大学生の主体的な学びを促す取り組みのーつとして、近年「反転授業」に期待が集まっている。本稿では、大学教育のグローバル化への対応に資すべく、多くの留学生を送り出している中国の大学生が反転授業という教育形態を如何に捉えているのかについて把握するために実施したアンケート調査の結果を中心に報告する。分析結果から、学習者側の反転授業方式に対する捉え方の実態、および国境を越えた教育接続における反転授業方式の潜在的な応用の可能性の一端がうかがえた。departmental bulletin pape

    Understanding of English Pronunciation Transcription of Students in Teacher-Training Course

    Get PDF
    40021892048Phonetic Alphabets show how to pronounce a word and learners easily realize the sounds of the word by these phonetic alphabets. This is one of the necessary knowledge for English teachers. This paper examined whether students in teacher training course understand phonetic alphabets. As a result, it is not systematically taught or partly taught before entering university and only 12% students can read phonetic alphabets. Most of them cannot identify English words shown in phonetic alphabets even if they are very familiar words. Students have difficulty to understand the symbols different from English alphabets. They also feel difficulty to realize English prosody. Both are caused by the lack of opportunity to learn them before entering universities.Knowledge of phonetic alphabets and prosody should be added in teacher training course and some plans are shown in this paper.本調査は,将来英語教員となる教職課程の学生が,発音記号についてどのように認識し,理解しているのかを調べたものである。調査の結果,発音記号について大学入学以前に体系的に学習したことがない学生が多く,そのためアルファベットと異なる記号になると認識度が落ちることがわかった。その記号を含んだ発音表記を提示されてもどのような英単語かがわからない学生が多かった。また,学生にとって,個別の発音よりもプロソディの実現が難しいと認識されていることもわかった。これらの点から,中高に加えて,2020年度からは小学校からの英語教育においても,発音記号や特にプロソディに関わる発音を,体系的に指導していくことが求められる。departmental bulletin pape

    A Study on the Effects and Problems of the Internship at Preschool Institutions(3)Creating a Goals Card and Verification of Effects

    Get PDF
    40021892101Internship I, implemented in the first year of university after high quality nursery teacher training, is important as an opportunity to motivate with a view to securing nursery and kindergarten teachers. This study clarifies the sense of purpose of the student doing the internship and investigates the usefulness of goals cards introduced in order to maximize the effects of the internship.The result of introducing goals cards was positive and specific goal setting before the internship. In addition, it was possible to have a specific individual understanding of tasks after the internship with a view to practical nursery training the following year. Further, individual goals roughly matched self-evaluation and evaluations from evaluators. However, as there was a decreasing trend in evaluation from evaluators focusing on communication with nursery teachers in comparison with self-evaluation with respect to shared goals, it was considered that it is essential to improve the contents of post-event learning based on these results.保育士・幼稚園教諭の確保に向けた動機付けの機会として、また質の高い保育者 養成を行う上で、大学初年次に行われる「インターンシップⅠ」は重要である。本 研究では、インターンシップ生の目的意識を明確にし、インターンシップの効果を 最大化するために導入した目標カードの有用性について検討した。 目標カードの導入の結果、インターンシップ前の目標設定が前向きで具体的なも のになっていた。また、インターンシップ後には、次年度の保育実習に向けて具体 的な個人の課題を把握することができていた。また、個別目標はおおむね自己評価 と評価者からの評価が一致していた。しかし、共通目標に関しては保育者とのコミ ュニケーションを中心に評価者からの評価が自己評価に比べ低い傾向にあったた め、この結果を踏まえ事後学習の内容を改善していく必要があると考えられた。departmental bulletin pape
