On the Invention and Practice of English Materials for Early Childhood Education : Through the Instruction of the Finger Rhyme of "Koala"
Get PDFIn our bulletin last year, we made two music scores of 'koala' and 'wombat', and created finger rhymes of these songs. Yokoi visited an Australian kindergarten in February 2005 and taught the finger rhyme of 'Koala1 to 4-and 5-year-old children. In this paper, we report the process of this instruction in Australia and add detailed consideration to it. Takamori also analyzes the finger rhymes which the Australian kindergarten teacher played.4KJ00005175633journal articl
Pytnagoreanism in Platonism
Get PDFPlatonism is acknowledged to be one of the essential factors in the tradition of Western philosophy. At the same time, we often speak of the Pythagorean influence on Platonism. It means that Plato accepted not a few elements from Pythagoras and the Pythagorean School in constructing his philosophical theory of idea. Then we must suppose that Western philosophy, of which the structure is determined by Plato's idealism, originally owes very much to Pythagoras. In this regard, Bertrand Russell's radical remark: "What appears as Platonism is, when analysed, found to be in essence, Pythagoreanism." is impressive. However, this statement of Russell is not so easy for us to confirm as it seems to be. In fact, we must first concede that we are very poorly informed of Pythagoras as well as of Pythagoreanism. Secondly, we must suspect that Pythagoras' life was biased by the main biographers, Porphyry and lamblichus, toward their Neo-Platonism. Thirdly, it is not excluded that even the sources, which these biographers used in their description of Pythagoras' life, might originate in Plato and his Academy. Thus in philological respect we would rather have to speak of the Platonic influence upon Pythagoreanism. Therefore the circumstances are more complicated than they appear. In order to clarify the exact meaning of Russell's above-mentioned statement, we must explore accurately the situation in which Pythagoreanism was put in Plato's time and specify the influence that the Pythagoreans could exert upon Plato. Then we must find out what Plato accepted from them in various passages from his dialogues. In the first chapter I mention Archytas of Tarentum, a contemporary of Plato, as an eminent, influential statesman and leader of the Pythagorean School. I explicate Archytas' teachings and his life-long friendship with Plato, although I cannot but in part depend upon historical conjectures. Thus I try to find out which factors Plato could receive from Pythagoreanism through Archytas. In the second chapter I interpret "Phaedo", Plato's important dialogue composed soon after his return from his travel through South Italy and Sicily, in the light of his acquired Pythagoreanism. It is true that the Pythagorean effect is conspicuous in the way in which Socrates as dramatis personae states the immortality of the soul, especially in his statements about the transmigration of souls. So far, I admit that Plato portrayed in "Phaedo" the Pythagoreanized Socrates. Yet I point out that the Pythagoreanization concerns only appearance. Socrates' narration in this work signifies with the help of the Pythagorean concepts in reality what Plato found out as the truth of Socrates' philosophizing life and death. Plato tried to portray the philosopher Socrates as he must have been beyond the historical Socrates.26KJ00004508476Research Paperjournal articl
A Survey on Water for Living in Georgia
Get PDFグルジアの水道水および地下水の水質を調べ,この地域の生活用水の現状と将来について検討した.グルジアの主な都市には上水道が布設されており,街角には水飲み場があり,人々は頻繁に飲用していた.山間部のリゾートや村では湧水や湖水を生活に利用しており,自然水への信頼は厚い.首都トビリシで使われている水道水は,溶存酸素を多く含んだ中硬水であった.バツーミの水道水は,イオン含有量の少ない軟水であった.黒海の水は溶存酸素がやや少なく,ミネラル分は塩化マグネシウムを形成している可能性がある.硝酸性窒素の含有が高く,亜硝酸性窒素やアンモニア性窒素も認められるので,富栄養化が懸念される.この国の生活用水は湧水や地下水を水源としており,水質は良好で,水量は豊富である.また,ミネラルウォーターの採水地も多い.地形や気候などの要因に加え,大量の肥料が使われていないことと開発があまり進められていないことなどが自然保護と水環境の保全に役立っていると思われる.19KJ00004508469研究ノートReseach Notejournal articl
On Boarding nursery school
Get PDFI participated in the drafting of a childcare support plan promoted by the City of Suzuka for one year and six months. We discussed child abuse prevention and the lightening of parents' burden of childcare. The importance of these two topics was clearly reflected in the result of a questionnaire to parents. This paper examines boarding nursery schools, which seem to follow as an extension of these two themes. I visited a kindergarten in Nanjing, China in March 2005. I also paid a visit to two more kindergartens whose lodging system is called 'all days kindergarten.' The purpose of establishing all-day kindergartens in China is different from the one in Japan, in that Chinese all-day kindergartens are set up for the positive reason of having infants acquire their basic lifestyle. Based on the analysis of the result of the questionnaire for Suzuka's next generations' support action plan for upbringing, and the observation of the two all-day kindergartens in Nanjing, I deliberate a boarding nursery school assuming that I open one. Yokoi is the main writer of this treatise, and Li is in charge of the selection and translation of the documents relating to early childhood education in China.5KJ00005175634journal articl
