Teacher trainees learning through action research
Get PDF本研究論文は、日本において英語のみで授業を行う教師のための研修プログラムで用いられる実地研究プロジェクトについて述べている。研修生となる学生は、１回の教育実習を基に各自の研究テーマを選んだ。その後小規模の研究を計画し、テーマに関する調査を行った上で2 回目の授業を行った。指導者はプロジェクトに組織的な問題があることに気付いたが、学生は役に立つし有意義だと感じた。ここでは学生が行ったプロジェクトの４例を紹介する。
This paper describes an action research project that was used in an English-medium teachertraining program in Japan. Trainees chose their own subjects of research, based on one teaching event. They planned a small piece of research, investigated the subject, and then taught a second class. The instructors found that, although there were logistical problems with the project, the students found it helpful and rewarding. Four examples of student projects are included.departmental bulletin pape

This paper describes an exploratory focus group study of MIC’s team teaching approach for lower-division classes, Collaborative Interdisciplinary Team Teaching (CITT). The study was designed to test previous findings from the professional team teaching literature and provide a baseline dataset for a program of further studies into CITT. Content analysis of the data revealed eleven major categories of response emerging independently across the focus groups, primarily concerned with team teacher attributes and secondarily with team teacher interactions. Most categories are well represented in the team teaching literature, although some less common responses also emerged. A number of potential tensions between team teachers’ professional responsibilities with respect to the major categories are identified in the analysis, and these have been used to guide the development of further CITT research.departmental bulletin pape
Prosodic Differences between Comma, Colon, and Dash to Introduce
Get PDF事物を紹介する際に、英語ではcomma, semicolon, dashという句読記号が用いられるが、使用する記号は、その箇所でのポーズ長をはじめ、他の場所における諸韻律特徴に影響をもたらすのであろうか。その解明を口的として、英語の母語話者に、それぞれの記号を用いた英語文を発話してもらい、先行音節の最高ピッチ、先行音節の最大音圧、直前の音節の音調、記号の箇所のポーズ長、直後の音節の音調、後続音節の最高ピッチ、後続音節の最大音圧、記号の箇所のポーズ長を除いた他の音節の平均長を計測・比較した。その結果、ピッチに関しては、semicolonを用いた場合よりdashを用いた方が先行音節の最高ピッチがより高くなった。またonly+one+名詞という語連続においては、oneのピッチが他の項より高くなる傾向が現れた。音圧に関しては、記号の前後いずれにおいても有意差は生じず、使用する記号にかかわらず、話者は、適宜音圧を変化させながら、文全体を発話していることが判明した。音調については、いずれの記号の前後でも、下降調が圧倒的に好んで用いられた。記号の箇所におけるポーズ長については、commaの場合は最短となり、semicolonやdashとの間に有意差が認められた一方、semicolonとdashの問には有意差は認められなかった。他方、各文よりポーズ長を除き、一音節に要する平均発話時間を比較すると、commaを用いた文で最長となり、これもsemicolonやdashを用いた文との間に有意差が認められた一方、semicolonとdashを用いた文の音節間には有意差は認められなかった。つまり、commaの筒所のポーズ長とその文の音節長に関するこの相反する結果は、文レベルでの長さの補償の生起を示唆するものとなった。departmental bulletin pape

Rural Residents' View of Urban-Rural Interchanges : A Case Study of a Rice Terrace 'Ownership System'
Get PDFUrban-Rural Interchanges have been showing results as an effective rural area promotion measure. Urban-Rural Interchanges the government initiated have emphasized the 'healing' needs of urban residents. Previous research has indicated that this emphasis has lead to insufficient consideration of the rural areas hosting the interchanges. The discussion thus far reflects a need to consider the possibility of developing Urban-Rural Interchanges from the viewpoints of both the urban and the rural residents brought together through the programs. Using NICHINAN City's SAKATANI district's Rice Terrace Ownership System as an example we clarify the meaning of the interchanges for residents in rural areas hosting exchanges. The Rice Terrace Ownership System in SAKATANI district was started in 2002 with the goal of preserving the terraced rice fields. Before the ownership system was implemented two groups in this same district undertook multi-layered activities with the goal of regional revitalization. Considering these points, we undertook interview research among the farming village residents and rice terrace owners. Looking into patterns of exchange, our survey results revealed the following two types. (1) Exchanges taking place during special occasions; providing a force for the integration of the entire local community. (2) Exchanges taking place in typical situations; the individual local residents lending the rice fields to the urban 'owner' are strengthening their relationships with the urban resident. As mentioned earlier above interchanges initiated and organized by local residents are starting to develop as a means of bringing the community together. The 'Ownership system' shows promise as a local society dynamic aiming for rural revitalization.Urban-Rural Interchanges have been showing results as an effective rural area promotion measure.

The Relation between Student's Consciousness of the Role of Preschool Teachers and Their Stress during Teaching Practice
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to examine the effects of the stress on the self-consciousness on the preschool teachers during their teaching practice. Their self-consciousness was considered on two points : the orientation toward preschool teacher as an occupation and their preschool-teacher-efficacy. As a sample, 364junior college students in an early childhood education course were asked about their stress during their teaching practice, their orientation toward preschool teacher, and their preschool-teacher-efficacy. The main results were as follows : (1) Student teachers felt high levels of stress about working conditions, and they felt low levels of stress about interactions between them and other people (cooperative teachers, children). (2) Student teachers who felt high levels of stress about fundamental task showed low levels of orientation toward preschool teacher, and (3) Student teachers who felt high levels of stress about fundamental task and interactions with children showed low levels of preschool-teacher-efficacy. These results suggest that (1) During the teaching practice of the students, high levels of stress enhanced a negative self-consciousness on the preschool teacher as an occupation, and that (2) During their teaching practice, it is important to lessen the stress of them (e.g. providing them with social support).The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the stress on the self-consciousness on the preschool teachers during their teaching practice.
