Early childhood and teacher education : a comparative study of Japan and Finland
No full textThe path to a meaningful and well-rounded life, whether through a successful career or rich experiences, can often be attributed to high quality early education. International research confirmed both the importance and effectiveness of early childhood education and care. The research also concluded that “…determining factors of providing quality Early Childhood Education is the “quality” of the workforce”.
This study reviewed and compared the development of early childhood education and care in Japan and Finland. Characteristics, license requirements and teacher education and training were analysed to better understand the current status of early childhood education and care in a wider context. The findings were then examined and presented to the Principal of Nishikigaoka Hoikuen, where the author has been employed for the past ten years. The aim of the study was to construct an in-house training framework to advance the teachers’ competences, ultimately leading to providing higher quality early childhood education and care at Nisikigaoka Hoikuen

No full text知的障害特別支援学校における防災教育の在り方について : 生活単元学習「グラグラゆれたらどうしよう？」の実践からの検討
No full text突然、起きる災害に対して、知的障害のある児童は弱者となりやすいことが考えられる。知的障害特別支援学校における防災教育は必要不可欠である。そこで、著者は、今年度から年間指導計画に防災教育を設定し、小学部から高等部までの系統性を考えながら、小学部６年生に対して実践を行い、その結果を分析することにより、知的障害のある児童に有効な防災教育の内容や特別支援学校に求められる防災教育の在り方について検討を行った。その結果、知的障害特別支援学校における防災教育には、「災害・防災に関する情報の理解」「危険回避行動の表出」「災害発生を想定した非日常への適応」の３つの柱により、知的障害の特性を踏まえつつ、継続的かつ体験的に実施すると効果的であることが明らかとなった。It is necessary to provide disaster mitigation education at special needs schools, specifically for students with intellectual disabilities, because they are most likely to be vulnerable to sudden disasters. Therefore, in this school year, disaster mitigation education was introduced to sixth-grade students as a part of the annual curriculum plan in one special needs school by considering the characteristics of intellectual disabilities and the continuity from elementary to high school divisions. Based on the results of implementing the disaster mitigation education, the author analyzed its ideal methods and concrete contents for children with intellectual disabilities in special needs schools. As a result, it was effective to continuously and experientially implement disaster mitigation education based on the following three perspectives: “understanding information on disasters themselves and disaster mitigation,” “expression of danger avoidance behaviors,” and “adaptation to extraordinary situations assuming the occurrence of a disaster.

No full textIn order to study the T-z = +1 -> 0 Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in the mass A = 26 system, a charge-exchange reaction Mg-26(He-3,t)Al-26 was performed at an incident energy of 140 MeV/nucleon and scattering angle at and near 0 degrees, where T-z is the z component of isospin T defined by (N - Z)/2. In this (p, n)-type reaction, it is expected that GT states with T = 0, 1, and 2 are excited. An energy resolution of Delta E = 23 keV allowed us to study many discrete states. Most of the prominent states showed 0 degrees-peaked angular distributions, which suggested that they are the states excited by Delta L = 0 GT transitions. Candidates of GT states were studied up to an excitation energy E-x = 18.5 MeV. The reduced GT transition strengths, B(GT), were derived assuming the proportionality between cross sections and B(GT) values. Standard B(GT) values were obtained form the Si-26 beta decay, where the mirror symmetry of T-z = +/- 1 -> 0 GT transitions was assumed. The GT strength, as a whole, is divided in two energy regions: the region of up to 8.5 MeV and the higher-energy region of 8.5-12.8MeV, where the strength in the latter region distributed like a resonance. The obtained GT strength distribution is compared with the results of random phase approximation calculations. The T = 2 GT states are expected in the region E-x >= 13.5 MeV. By comparing with the results of (n, p)-type Mg-26(d, He-2)Na-26 and Mg-26(t, He-3)Na-26 reactions, the isospin symmetry of T = 2 GT states is discussed. Owing to the high-energy resolution, we could study the decay widths Gamma for the states in the E-x > 9 MeV region. The T = 2 state at 13.592 MeV is not noticeably wider than the experimental energy resolution. The narrow width of the state is explained in terms of isospin selection rules
