This paper aims to deepen historical understanding of the Okinawan identity through a study of the dialect punishment board (hogen fuda). Up until 1879, in Okinawa, ordinary people used the Ryukyuan language. In the Ryukyu Islands, people in different groups had different dialects. The difference between their dialects was very wide compared with dialects in mainland Japan. In the Meiji period, the Japanese national government started teaching standard Japanese all over Japan including Okinawa in order to establish a unified language in their attempt to modernize the nation. It was linked with other policies of the government such as developing national wealth, strengthening the military and educating the masses as subjects of the Emperor. Meanwhile, Okinawan people, afraid of discrimination, wanted their own unified language. Because discrimination was often caused by differences of dialect, they wanted to communicate to other people without a language barrier. In schools and some village communities in Okinawa, the dialect punishment board (hogen fuda) was made for every classroom and some community centers. Students had to wear it around their necks if they spoke in dialect. The tag was handed over to other students who spoke in their dialect. The method was common under the Customary Law of Okinawan Villages. Though this method of language enforcement led to the repression of Okinawan culture and language, it was never official government policy. Certainly, standard Japanese was forced on Okinawan people in prewar times by the prefectural government. However, popular opinion supported enforcement of the use of standard Japanese as a way to adapt to the new era. The dialect punishment board continued to be used in Okinawa even after the war until around the 1970s. They chose the standard Japanese of their own will during the postwar period. After reversion in 1972, the use of standard Japanese rapidly spread among ordinary people due to wide exposure to television, freedom to travel to and from mainland Japan and the development of tourism. As a result, the young generation born after reversion can rarely speak dialects.

This study focuses on the intention of incorporated “Liberal Studies” as a compulsory subject for all senior secondary students, its present-day impact on the social awareness of youngsters, and its influence on the Umbrella Movement of 2014. The study analyzes not only syllabi but also public examination questions including comments and scoring criteria in terms of the severely examination-orientated educational system in Hong Kong. Liberal Studies consists of six modules as a cross-curriculum. Initially, in 1992, it was introduced for senior secondary third-grade students; in 2009, it was promoted from an elective to a compulsory subject. Eventually, it took over Citizenship Education shaping Civil Society across the handover. Finally, the premature intention matched the aim of shaping the knowledge-based economy underpinned by the education and curriculum reforms under the new Hong Kong government. According to its developers, Hong Kong’s curriculum of Liberal Studies based on Independent Inquiry Study was designed to establish student-centered learning in the educational system, as well as to develop high-level learning skills, such as critical thinking, independent thinking and problem-solving. In other words, it aimed at fostering new generations who are different from the apolitical generations and have social awareness regarding civil society by utilizing live news media materials instead of textbooks. Both the Liberal Studies modules of Hong Kong Today and Modern China are deliberately designed to shape social awareness motivated critical thinking in students. The first syllabus for the elective subject was issued in 1991; it was revised in 1996 and 2000, and subsequently in 2007 as a compulsory subject. Regarding the development of critical thinking, the previous three editions claimed to solely generate “critical awareness”; however, the 2007 edition embodied “positive values”, “proactive attitudes”, and “social awareness” concepts. The 2000 edition was relatively simple; in this edition, the concept of “democracy” was wholly absent and the concepts of “rule of law” and “freedom” were only partly discussed. Meanwhile, the 1996 edition was added to “press freedom” and compared to the Chinese official media, defined as the mouthpiece of the government and the Communist Party. The 1991 and 1996 editions emphasized the critical difference between Hong Kong and China, “Socialism vs. Capitalism” and “China-model democracy vs. Western-model democracy”. The examination questions have consistently sparked fresh controversies, and the scoring criteria also have triggered an in-depth discussion on their exact framework as well as a statement on the highly critical analysis. However, regarding the perspectives toward China expressed by the questions, the dichotomy between the two has been altered to multiple perspectives so that students can understand China’s stance following the issuance of the 2000 edition. In conclusion, the incorporation of Liberal Studies has strongly stimulated students’social awareness, and its impact expanded to all students after the subject became compulsory in 2009. Accordingly, this study indicates that university and senior secondary students, comprising the compulsory Liberal Studies generation, somehow embody critical thinking so that they frequently take an anti-government stance, including the creation of the Umbrella Movement.

In China, the equal use and development of minority languages are guaranteed by law. However, the rate of use of Chinese in the place of Mongolian has risen in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, and the loss of Mongolian and a trend towards the use of Chinese as a mother language are particularly marked in the case of Mongolians living in urban areas. Maintenance of the Mongolian language by Mongolians and its transmission to the younger generation have become an issue. Whereas the learning of Chinese and English is being stressed from childhood, use of the ethnic language has become narrower, and ethnic language ability has also declined. It is necessary to search for the factors in the selection of a kindergarten for young Mongolian children in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. The choice of a kindergarten is the first school choice, and since it has a major effect on the selection of schools thereafter, the choice of a kindergarten is extremely important. To answer the question in regard to key factors in the initial selection of a kindergarten, this chapter focuses on kindergarten selection in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, and takes as its purpose the examination of these determinant factors. The study primarily uses domestic data related to kindergarten education, interview/survey data, and a comparison of two different types of kindergartens that each follow a different medium of instruction and terminology. Additionally, the statistical data is used to evaluate the current state of kindergarten education in Inner Mongolia, and identify its influence on kindergarten selection. Furthermore, the survey data, followed by a cross tabulation analysis, reveals the determinant factors of why a particular kindergarten was selected. This survey was conducted from August 30, 2013 to September 30, 2013. The subjects of the survey were the parents of ethnic Mongolian children aged between four and five years old in the city of Huhhot in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. Huhhot is the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the area most densely populated with Han and Mongolian peoples. Three ethnic Mongolian and three ethnic Han kindergartens were chosen as samples for the survey. The researcher surveyed 208 parents, minding the balance between the number of infants in both types of kindergartens. Three themes surfaced as a result of the above research and analysis. First is the linguistic factor, where Mongolian people who select an “ethnic Mongolian” kindergarten attribute their choice to the ability of their children to learn their mother tongue, and where Mongolian people who select a Han kindergarten attribute their choice to the ability of their children to learn both English and Chinese. Second, there are fewer “ethnic Mongolian” kindergartens in Inner Mongolia, which is an important factor for this group’s kindergarten selection. Finally, family background plays a vital role in the selection of a kindergarten, with circumstances such as the father’s low education level, the high income of a household, and one of the parents not belonging to the ethnic Mongolian group emerging as determinant factors. For example, if the language used in the home is primarily Han, the possibility that parents will select a Han Chinese kindergarten is high.

本稿では、日常コミュニケーションにおいて重要な言語形式の一つである終助詞「よ」「ね」「よね」を取り上げ、それぞれの機能について先行研究を基に分類し、日本語の初級・中級教科書においてはそれぞれの機能がどのように扱われているかを調査・分析した。教科書の調査結果からは初級・中級教科書において終助詞の機能には偏った使用(提示)が見られ、それによる学習者の終助詞の習得問題が予想されることを指摘できた。さらに効果的な終助詞の指導のためには教科書の会話文などを通じて終助詞の機能がどのような状況で使用され、どのような機能を持っているかを普段から学習者に意識させることが必要であること、また、終助詞の必須性と運用面の注意を社会言語能力との関係から、学習レベルに合わせて指導していくことも重要であることを指摘した。

This paper presents an empirical study of international collaborative education offered at an Institute which was jointly established by two leading universities of China and the US—namely Shanghai Jiaotong University and the University of Michigan. The Institute was formed in Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2006 under the regulatory scheme “Chinese–Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools”; it offers undergraduate, masters, doctoral, and international collaborative programs in the field of engineering. Adopting a case study approach, this work aimed to explore the prospects and challenges generated through international collaboration in higher education. Qualitative data were acquired by document analysis and semi-structured interviews with key informants. The author first examined the motivation of each parent university to pursue the establishment of the Institute, explored the outcomes of the collaboration, and finally discussed the remaining issues. The findings generated from the case analysis were as follows. The US parent university intended to create an educational/research hub for their students and faculty in China to provide opportunities of collaborating with Chinese students and researchers at the Chinese partner university. It also expected to gain access to high-achieving Chinese students for recruitment to graduate programs in the US parent university. Another intention was to enhance its reputation in China through the collaboration with the Chinese parent university, which is a leading higher education institution in China. Meanwhile, the Chinese parent university particularly aimed to gain know-how in academic–industrial partnership, enhance international competitiveness through joint research, and improve the quality of their education by importing advanced educational resources and curriculum through the collaboration. While the data of this case analysis reveal that most of the objectives of both parent universities were achieved satisfactorily, complexity was also observed. As depicted above, one of the objectives was to strengthen the research collaboration between the existent departments, the Institute, and the US parent university. The research collaboration however remains limited; there is an emerging competition between the existent departments and the Institute in terms of student recruitment. This is attributed to the duplication of the programs offered by the existent departments and the Institute. Furthermore, a so-called “brain drain” has emerged as a complex issue. A large portion of the graduates of the Institute have pursued advanced degrees at graduate schools mostly in the US, and most of the graduates have been admitted to graduate programs at the US parent university. For the US side, this initiative can certainly be recognized as a successful outcome. By contrast, for the Chinese side, it presents a complex issue in terms of retention of highly skilled human resources. Another remaining challenge is the inequality of access to the programs offered at the Institute. Although the Institute is considered an academic department of the Chinese parent university, its tuition fee is much higher than those of the existent departments. Consequently, access to the programs at the Institute is limited to students from affluent families.

Sámi are an indigenous people who originally inhabited Sápmi, the traditional Sámi land that cross-borders Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Today, it is estimated that approximately 40,000–60,000 Sámi live in Norway (roughly 1% of the total Norwegian population); 20,000 live in Sweden; 7,500 in Finland; and 2,000 in Russia (Sollbakk & Varsi, 2014). During the post-war period, Norway’s welfare state steadily expanded, and the 1950s and 60s witnessed economic prosperity and national development. However, as a tradeoff for modernisation, “Sáminess” was considered unfavourable, and the Sámi people were forced to assimilate into Norwegian society. Against the backdrop of this Norwegianization policy, Sámi peoples—particularly the young, educated Sámi—started to engage in political activities. Among these activities, the damming of the Alta-Kautokeino River in the 1970s was a turning point in the Sámi rights movement. It is noteworthy that the Sámi restored their inherent rights by the end of 1980s and have since been enjoying a relatively high level of self-determination in areas such as education, culture, language and traditional livelihood. In 1988 the Norwegian government amended its constitution, and in October of 1989 it opened the Sámi Parliament of Norway. The year 1989 also marked the establishment of Sámi University College (or Sámi allaskuvla in Sámi) in Kautokeino. It is Europe’s first and only indigenous higher-education institution. The SUC has three departments: linguistics, social science, and Duodji and teacher education. It offers programmes at the bachelor, masters, and doctoral levels, and their unique programmes attract not only Sámi students from Sápmi, but also non-Sámi people from all around the world. However, the total pool of applicants is small, and the university struggles to tackle particular challenges that are unique to them as an indigenous institution. The purpose of this research paper is twofold: (1) to review current Sámi research and education in Norway’s higher-education sector, and (2) to report characteristics and challenges of the educational programmes provided at Sámi University College (SUC) as a case study. In the first section, this reseach examines indigenous education programmes and higher education in Norway by referring to Norwegian government reports, statistics, and newspaper articles. The next section focuses on current issues at SUC, including programmes, student statistics, and other challenges. This research paper should be considered a work-in-progress report. However, considering the limited number of articles on Norway’s higher educaiton available in Japan, it will offer new insights on the progressive, rights-oriented approach of Sámi education. In that sense, the significance of this research lies in the light it sheds on the relatively unknown areas of indigenous education and higher education institutions in Norway.

タイ北部の山岳地帯にはいくつかの少数民族が暮らしている。タイ政府は第二次世界大戦後、治安維持のため、山地民に教育を施すことで国民統合を図ってきた。一方で国民統合を推進することで、山地民の文化がタイ文化に侵食される可能性がある。国民統合教育と山地民文化に関する先行研究がいくつかあり、それらは山地民の教育的態度が高まっている一方で、教育による国民統合の効果は限られていると主張している。しかし、両親の世代が学校教育の影響を受けているため、現在は状況が変わっている可能性がある。本研究の目的の1つは、山地民の文化保持の観点からタイの国民統合教育の影響を把握することである。また、先行研究では山地民のアイデンティティ問題を明らかにしてこなかった。タイ政府は、タイ人としてのアイデンティティを持たせるために山地民に教育を提供してきたことから、山地民の民族的アイデンティティを測定することなく、国民統合教育の影響を明らかにすることは不可能である。本研究は、言語、文化、アイデンティティの観点から、タイにおける国民統合教育の影響を把握することを目的とする。 2016年6月13日にチェンマイ市の山岳地帯のモン族の村にある小学校3校で児童に対するアンケート調査を実施した。小学4 ~ 6年生の出席児童77名から回答が得られた。 このアンケート調査は、①勉強・進学に対する意識、②言語能力と使用状況、③アイデンティティ、④国民統合教育の影響、の4つの観点から実施された。①勉強・進学に対する意識では、ほとんどの保護者・児童が高い意識を持っていることがわかった。保護者自身もある程度の学歴を持っている。②言語能力と使用状況では、モン語で両親と話す子供の割合が最も高いものの、モン族の半数以上が家庭でタイ語を使用していることがわかった。モン語を主に使用していた家族の子どもたちはモン語能力の自己評価が高い一方で、タイ語を主に使用していた家族の子どもたちはモン語能力の自己評価が低い傾向にあった。ゆえに、モン語能力は彼らの家庭文化に影響を受けていると考えられる。③アイデンティティでは、調査対象の子どもの80%は、モン族としてのアイデンティティを有すると回答した一方、20%はモン族としてのアイデンティティを有していないことがわかった。また、過半数の子どもがタイ人とモン族の複合アイデンティティを持つこともわかった。④国民統合教育の影響では、タイ原理の主要ファクターである「国王」と「僧侶」を尊敬していない子どもが、国王で3分の1、僧侶で3分の2いた。このことから、タイ原理の浸透の観点からみると、国民統合教育の影響は限定的であると言えよう。 本研究は、タイの山地民の子どもを対象に、言語、文化、アイデンティティの観点から国民統合教育の影響を明らかにするために行われた。言語、文化、アイデンティティの観点から考えると、タイ原理の浸透は限定的であるものの、国民統合教育によって山地民の子どもは言語、文化、アイデンティティの面で影響を受けていると結論付けられる。モン族の子どもたちは、モン族の一員でありタイ人であるという複合アイデンティティを持つことが主流である。しかし、一定数の子どもたちは、モン語をあまり使用せず、モン族のアイデンティティを持たないことを示しており、民族文化の保持が危ぶまれる。今後より詳細な調査が必要であろう。

The purpose of this study is, firstly, to clarify the admissions system of Indonesian students under the Reparations Agreement signed between Japan and Indonesia in 1958, and secondly, to paint life-histories of these students based upon interviews conducted during a two-month stay in Indonesia in July and September, 2017, and between February and March, 2018 with seventeen informants. These students’ mission was to acquire knowledge of the newest technology as well as to learn the origin of and discover the reasons for the rapid economic development of Japan after the Second World War, for the purpose of founding the new independent state of Indonesia and for the modernization of that country. After 1960, the Japanese government admitted a total of 389 students, eighty percent of whom were science majors and twenty percent humanities majors. These students learned mainly Japanese language for one year, and, after that, were admitted for four more years of study to national and private universities according to their major. This research is based on the cooperation of seventeen ex-student informants who were introduced through PERSADA (An association of Indonesian alumni of Japanese universities) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The survey emphasizes interviews, rather than employing macro or quantitative methods. While staying in Japan, these students learnt not only new technology, but also gained many opportunities to observe Japanese society. Meanwhile, in the Indonesian motherland, political and financial confusion—for example, the 9/30 Incident against the communists which tipped the balance of political power from Sukarno to Suharto, had been occurring throughout the 1960s. As a result, these students sometimes were not all able to successfully or smoothly resume life after returning to their mother country. Findings of this research are as follows; 1) The admissions system of Indonesian students under the Reparations Agreement had been spearheaded mainly by Dr Kusnaeni and Dr H.Enoch Amangku, who had both studied at Japanese universities. 2) Informants emphasized that it is important for Indonesia to develop discipline such as that found in Japanese society for the purpose of founding the independent new state of Indonesia as well as for its modernization. A lack of discipline and ethics causes delays in national development, widespread corruption, decline of the will to work, and so on. Even now Indonesians are suffering from such delays. 3) In addition, after the passing of more seventy years since Independence in 1945, even today it is still the case that Indonesia continues to suffer from conflict between traditional values (Islam, Adat) and modernization. 4) Darma Persada University, established in 1986, was founded by graduates of Japanese universities, mainly former Indonesian students under the Reparations Agreement who have since been pouring their energy into developing ties between Japan and Indonesia.
