ゼミメンバーの活動　Students' Activities

Ｍ１ゼミプロジェクト　M1 Seminar Project

教育援助機関の活動に関するミニ調査 [English]
山田ゼミでは、修士１年目の学生を対象に、毎年、教育援助機関についての調査プロジェクトを行っています。これは、毎学期、一つの援助機関（国際機関か二国間援助機関）を取り上げその機関の教育分野での活動について小グループに分かれて調査を行うというものです。
このプロジェクトの目的は大きく分けて２つです。まず、教育分野で活躍する援助機関について、その歴史的背景、政策や戦略の重点、実施している事業などを知り、実際に発展途上国で行われている教育協力の活動や国際的議論を具体的に理解できる知識基盤を形成することです。 2つ目は、修士に入って、まだ学問的な研究をしたことがない学生たちに、実際の調査プロジェクトを順を追って指導することにより、体験的に学んでもらうことです。

プロジェクトには、教育・人材開発プログラムに登録する修士1年目の学生を中心に、毎回10名程度の学生が参加しています。3人ぐらいの小グループに分かれ、それぞれのグループが調査対象の機関の活動や組織、政策の１つの側面に焦点を当てて調査計画を立て、最終的にグループごとの小論文を執筆します。
1学期１機関に絞って調査を計画しますが、まず、学期の前半は、既存の文献やウェブサイト、報告書等から、その機関について勉強します。学期の後半には、その機関で実際に働いているスタッフ数名にインタビューします。 学生の関心やその時の状況にもよりますが、援助機関の本部だけでなく、途上国の現地事務所の人をインタビューすることも少なくありません。
コミュニケーション技術のお陰で、現地に行くことなく、ワシントンＤＣ、カンボジア、タンザニアなどの 現地事務所で働いている人ともインタビューしたことがあります。


Studies on the policies and activities of Educational Aid Organizations
This project is for the first year Master’s students.
In each semester, we pick up one aid organization (from both multi- and bi-lateral ones). Students are divided into groups of 2-3 students and each group conduct research on a topic of their selection regarding policies and activities of that organization in the field of education.
The objectives of this project are two-fold: first one is to familiarize students with the historical development, policies, strategies, structure, and activities of the organization so that they will develop the knowledge base to understand the practices and global discussion about educational development.
The second is to give opportunities of learning the research methods through practice for students who just started the graduate program and have little experience of academic work.
In each year, about 10 students, who major in education and human resource development, participate in this seminar.
The students are divided into smaller groups of 2-3 students and each group will design the research framework, come up with research questions, conduct research, and write a research paper at the end of semester.

To be able to do that, each group of the students spend the first few weeks of the semester for searching literature, reading them, and presenting their summaries of in the seminar.
Then, all the seminar members discuss how to deepen the understanding and to narrow the focus of the group’s research topic. Students will get advice on data collection and analysis in the process.
On the occasions of the interview, students are fully responsible for handling the situation from self-introduction to wrap up and time management.
After the interviews, the seminar members get together to discuss about good practice and failure so that they can improve the ways of interview based on their own experience.
After all these exercises, at the end of the semester, each group writes research paper on the topic they focused on.

To conduct an interview, it is a precondition to know about the organization the interviewee is working for. Moreover, researchers have to consider the unique aspects of investigation which is not found in the existing literature and
decide the focus of their own research.
Interviews for academic purpose are different from casual conversation and have to be based on well-articulated plan about what to know and how to ask so as to hear stories useful for the intended research.

In the earlier sessions of the seminar, the students learn about the organization from existing literature, website, and reports.
Later in the semester, students will interview a few staff members who are currently working in the organization with different capacity both in the headquarters or the field offices.
Thanks to the technology, we have already conducted tele-conference with overseas with people in Washington, D.C., Phnon Penh, and Dar es Salaam while staying in the building of our graduate school.

阿智村との交流　Achi Village Visit

発展途上国の開発のことばかり議論せず、自分たちの足元の教育の課題を考えてみよう。
山田ゼミでは、長野県阿智村の清内路小学校と交流プログラムを行っています。30名程度しか生徒のいない、山間過疎地の小学校で直面する課題を知り、同時に、子どもたちにいろいろな国の留学生と英語で話したり、国の話を聞くことで、世界に目を向けてもらうきっかけになればと思っています。

Let’s think about Japanese developmental issues, instead of discussing always about “developing countries”.
In Yamada seminar, every year, we visit Seinaiji Primary School in Achi Village,
Nagano Prefecture. The purpose is to know and think about the issues faced at a small school with about 30 pupils in the mountainous depopulating area.
At the same time, it is hoped that the interaction with international students using English and knowing a bit about different cultures will be a chance for rural pupils to think about the world.
