The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of class size and small group learning on pupils' academic achievement by using Multilevel Models. Since 1950s to early 1990s, class sizes were reduced to 40 pupil classes. After the 1990s, instead of continuing to reduce class sizes, the Ministry of Education has adopted learning group systems to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio, for example, small group learning and Team-Teaching (TT). Do the class size and these new learning group systems have positive effect on the pupils' academic achievement? This is the theme of this research. Thirty-four elementary school principals and 843 pupils responded to the questionnaires and pupils took brief academic achievement tests for Japanese and Mathematics. This research focuses on the analysis on the effect of adopting teaching methods like small group learning on mathematic tests. The results like many former research findings suggest that small class size and small group learning have positive effect on pupils' academic achievement. To work small group learning effectively, it is necessary to arrange full-time teachers and to group pupils by the similar ability.

This paper intends to reveal the situations of Japanese language arts practices in Manchukuo. The elaborate examination clarifies the following points: (1) Japanese language arts practices in Manchukuo were influenced by the "local education (kyodo-kyoiku) theory" developed in the mainland, Japan. (2) The learning contents were designed, based on the Manchurian mode of life and the local education committee aiming to extract and re-edit the contents from the teaching materials available: such as national textbooks, Manchuria supplementary readers, and other supplementary readers including "local readers." These Manchurian efforts were similar to the ones seen in postwar Japanese language arts practices in Japan.

This article casts doubt on the current tendency of high school English language teachers to ask questions which require the understanding of the meaning of passages (i.e. comprehension questions) in reading classes. The author concedes that the tendency has not emerged without reason; it is in accordance with the communicative orientation of the English language teaching in Japanese schools in that those questions are intended to direct learners' attention to the content or message that the text carries. However, those questions are based on the specific content of a particular text, and thus less likely to help the students acquire generalizable linguistic skills applicable to different texts. In seeking alternative ways of question making, the author refers to the teaching of Japanese as the first language as an advanced model in terms of its primary focus on language, as observed in the national course of study. Based on the implications from Japanese language teaching, the author proposes a distinction between content questions and form questions, and he argues that the latter is more effective in developing students' generalizable linguistic skills. A report from a reading class which utilized form questions supports the case for varying question types in teaching reading.

Translation tasks in the English examination for the 2nd-grade maritime officers' certificate(navigation) are challenging for Japanese maritime students because they have insufficient knowledge of the vocabulary used therein. To address this issue, we created a word list based on a corpus compiled from 56 texts used in past examinations, employing the integrated values of both frequency and range (Ishikawa, 2018) as selection and arrangement criteria. During this process, a set of words in New JACET 8000 that are widely used in Japanese junior high school English textbooks; maritime loan words; and words with low frequency, narrow range, or low learning value were excluded. The final 278 words (the 2nd-grade Maritime Examination Word List) cover more than 25% of the corpus. If students have learned the 278 words, they can fully understand the texts and avoid referring to their dictionaries frequently, allowing them to focus on text comprehension and translation tasks. The coverage of the final list in the corpus is higher than that of two existing maritime word lists. To accurately test the usefulness of this list, clearer standards for comparing multiple word lists must be established.

This study examines the program and contents of the teacher training in Singapore's National Institute of Education (NIE). As a part of the study of the program and its content, a survey was also conducted on In-service training. The following three points have been discovered to be applicable to teacher education in Japan.The first point suggests a way to improve practice teaching system in Japan. In Singapore, practice teaching involves a mentor and a novice teacher working together at the same school. All the participants in the practice teaching program work closely together to develop students' educational experience. Based on this observation, it appears necessary to reexamination of Japan's practice teaching program to develop one in which all those involved are connected more closely.The second point suggests an establishment of a teaching professional standard. In Japan, the recent year's educational reforms call for a teacher training program which clearly establishes teacher professional. In Singapore, the national standards for teacher education were first established in 2005 and revised in 2009. Japanese universities need to set and enforce the standards necessary to establish qualifications of future teachers.The third point advocates the establishment of an individualized training program. In Singapore, according to a teacher's abilities and qualifications, a grade is prepared along with an appropriate training program In Japan, graduate schools which accept qualified in service teachers should be beneficial.

This paper provides a summary of contrastive and individual studies conducted in Japanese and Chinese from two perspectives: gender expressions in language, and the usage of language by women and men and indicates the remaining issues. Three points were summarized. Firstly, it was indicated that both Japanese and Chinese women in their twenties tend to refuse another person indirectly as compared to men and the men tend to interrupt another person more than women. Secondly, roles assigned as male or as female are stereotyped in Japanese and Chinese dictionaries. However, depreciation of women outside the home was observed in Chinese dictionaries more than in Japanese. Thirdly, expressions with the prefix "woman" were seen more frequently than those with prefix "man" in Chinese newspaper articles than in Japanese. Based on these studies, this paper proposes research directions. Firstly, it is necessary to compare natural conversations of various ages, meanwhile, considering how gender affects their language usage. In addition to natural conversations, an examination of images of women and men described in media discourses is also required. Finally, analyzing changes in gender stereotypes in media form selected by choice and media forms unconsciously encountered from the audience's perspective is also required.

This paper confirms the extent to which students at low-prestige universities engage in learning opportunities outside of class and examines the factors involved when they do not engage in such activities. Interviews were conducted with 10 third-year students in the education department of the private Z University. The main findings of the analysis are as follows. First, the grading system at Z University allowed students to obtain credits as long as they attended classes. Second, professors rarely imposed pre- and post-learning requirements, and when they did, they did not require a heavy learning load. Third, professors not only disclosed examination questions in advance, they also had a great tendency to do so. In addition, because of this practice, the students in the "study habits acquisition group" perceived the examinations as not requiring much study. The difficulty in motivating students at low-prestige universities to develop study habits is thus related to the methods used for grading, pre- and post-learning requirements, and examinations.

This paper aims to clarify the discrepancies in educational equipment between urban and rural compulsory education schools, which is ignored as a result of the illusion that the balanced development of compulsory education has been realized by the government's effective measures for narrowing such discrepancies. This paper focuses on T city, in China's Jilin province. Results of the questionnaire investigation and interviews conducted by the author show that there are still marked discrepancies in educational equipment between urban and rural schools. Although discrepancies in the quantity of equipment have been reduced, discrepancies in quality and utility remain and call for an urgent solution. These findings indicate that the evaluation system known as the Basic Equilibrium Prefecture of Compulsory Education Development is likely to further widen the discrepancies between available equipment and students' academic abilities. Further, it will reduce educational opportunities, especially for rural students in the compulsory education stage.

Regarding the human rights theory and its ethics dominating educational development, Spivak reminded people that such top-down generosity did not reach the oppressed subaltern. Due to the lack of critical perspective, human rights-based ethic is likely to alienate subaltern and lead to problematic behavioral patterns that "impose values" based on power. Moreover, the prosperity of human rights and its ethics characterized by narcissism suppressed the possibility of establishing an alternative ethic for the subaltern who was always represented. In Spivak's view, the unconditional ethic of such a subaltern is the "responsibility", the ability to respond to the call of others. Responsibility is the ethical symbolism of the first language acquisition, an unlearning of one's privileges, and an experience of the wholly other. The supporter must train their responsibility through imagination in order to help the subaltern. Spivak emphasizes the role of humanities (especially translation) in training such ethic. Translation, as the most intimate reading, enables the translator to responds to the traces of the other while yielding to the text.

This paper compares middle school tuition for every prefecture from the 1890s to the 1930s. This paper examines the following points.First, for every prefecture it compares how much tuition one student payed. And it examines how many household economies tuition was pressing. Finally, the relation between the frame of tuition and expansion of middle schools is considered.The following points became clear as a result of the analysis. When the nationwide trend was seen, the ratio which tuition occupies among costs required for management of middle school education varied from 20 percent to 70 percent. When compared for every prefecture, in Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Shizuoka, it turns out that the ratio of tuition was high. As compared with the prefectural level, the highest sum was in Tokyo, and the lowest in Okinawa.The prefectural education expense burden was light in the prefecture with high tuition costs. The ratio occupied in the income of middle school tuition varied between 2 and 4% in 1916. The ratio of the tuition to income fell gradually. However, a clear correlation was not seen between the ratios of tuition costs and expansions of middle schools.

This paper analyzes the process and relations among actors of the Israel-Palestine History Textbook Dialogue Project. The project targeted teachers to learn about their historical perceptions of "others" by writing and sharing their own history and showing students two different historical perceptions. The researcher clarified the following four points from the document analysis and interviews with the project participants: 1. A new style of the textbook was developed and showed other countries a new approach to "knowing others." 2. Writing the textbook by teachers and knowing each other's historical narrative increased the teachers' motivation to teach two narratives even though the use of the textbook itself is prohibited. 3. While collaboration with external organizations and receiving financial support made it possible to continue the project, it sometimes affected the project. 4. The relationships among the project members influenced the content and their discussion about the project. While it is significant that the project was accomplished under the fierce conflict, it is also the difficulty of history textbook dialogue under a conflict that participants cannot escape from the bias toward self-groups and other-groups that have arisen from the long-standing historical perception.

The society has a long time before the realization of its freedom from gender issues. Coeducational teaching has come to be for home economics classes inschools. However for Physical Education (P.E.) classes, a problem of evaluation based mainly on the physical activity exists. However, there are other skills to be learned in P.E. classes, such as social behavior/interaction, morality, and sentimental expression. I thereby wonder the educational value of P.E. classes cannot be raised.The necessary reading of published documents on educational issues and their effects on students has been done. The possibility of coeducational teaching is assumed from the start.The result consists of three aims:1) A gender specific skill set is not assumed in sports2) An increase in a sense of morality will be an objective/a goal.3) Recognition of the value of cooperation and building of relationships over all else..
