Cohesión grupal y rendimiento académico : Un estudio de caso en el entorno educativo de segundas lenguas
Get PDFPDFWith the aim of studying the kind of relationship established between group cohesion and academic performance within a second language education context, this paper a) examines the multidimensional nature of group cohesion; b) researches the specific relationships established between the four constructs of group cohesion and academic performance; and c) studies the longitudinal changes experimented by the variables. The participants in the study (N = 32) were two groups of first-year university students from a university department specializing in the teaching of Spanish. The methodology employed was mixed, including qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis. The instruments deployed to measure the two variables were a questionnaire (group cohesion), a written production test and a DELE Spanish Diploma-type exam (academic performance). To observe longitudinal changes, the two variables were measured twice for each group, and the data obtained were analyzed by means of a nonparametric statistical analysis. The results support the multidimensionality of group cohesion and suggest that the four constructs of group cohesion are in a significant but independent correlation with academic performance
サンヴィセンテ島民と日本人漁師の文化接触 : カーボヴェルデの「サイコー」な人たちは誰だったのか
Get PDFThe islands of Cabo Verde are known as one of the oldest Creole areas in the world. It was originally discovered by the Portuguese in the mid-fifteenth century. Since their settlement, the Portuguese brought people from West Africa as slaves which made birth the concept of creole in Cabo Verde. The phenomenon of creole is a linguistic and cultural product surged through a dynamism of mixture of Whites and Blacks while colonization and black slave trade have begun. Thus, Cabo Verde became a heterogeneous society.
In the eighteenth century, before the abolishment of slavery, the port of Mindelo in the island of São Vicente has developed for its supplement of coal by the British. The port of Mindelo turned to an important meeting point of various people from a different background which eventually made Mindelo to a metropolitan city. Finally, in the 1960s, the Japanese fishermen were engaged in fishery based in Mindelo until the 1970s. During their stay, koladera, a Cabo Verdean musical genre, was in a fashion and a song called “Sayko Dayo” (= ‘awesome’, ‘superb’ in Japanese) was composed by a famous musician, Ti Goy, through cultural contacts between Japanese fishermen and the people of Mindelo.
The present report shows how Japanese fishermen were evolved in the terms of the creation of the song “Sayko Dayo” and examine who were the people “Sayko” by analyzing interviews that the author has collected during fieldwork. This study can show us how people of Cabo Verde creolize their cultures
