Perception of Teachers and Pupils on Equity and Inclusion: A Case Study of Four Public and Private Schools in Rural Kenya

公正性と包摂性は，2015年に設定された持続可能な開発目標の中で最も優先度の高い議題の一つとされているが，主要な国際的および国内的な政策文書において，その意味や実践についての明確な記載は乏しい。本稿は，小学校の教師と生徒の認識を分析し，実際の学校における公正性と包摂性の実践に係 る実態を理解することを目的とした。具体的には，ケニア農村部における公立と私立の4校の小学校を事例とし，72名の教師と155名の6年生児童に質問紙調査を行った。結果として，教師は生徒の異なる集団間のダイナミックスを把握しておらず，集団活動における配慮は学業成績に偏っていることが明らかになった。生徒は，異なる集団間においてより複雑な感情を抱いており，その感情は，成績の如何ではなく，社会経済的な地位や障害の有無に関連していた。また，教師の公正性と包摂性に対する認識，いじめの発生状況，その対象，およびその解決方法において，公立校と私立校の間に違いが見られた。学校現場において，公正性と包摂性が実質的，実践的な意味を持つには，より明確な定義と現実的で戦略的な選択肢が吟味されなくてはならない。Despite the fact that equity and inclusion became one of the top priority agendas in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, major international and domestic policy documents in Kenya remain with less clarity of its meaning and actual practice in reality. Against this background, this article attempts to analyze perception of teachers and pupils to understand actual practice on equity and inclusion in rural public and private schools in Kenya. A case study of four schools was adopted using surveys with 72 teachers and 155 Grade 6 pupils. The results show that teachers in both public and private schools are less aware of and often overlook the dynamics within different groups of pupils in their group work than how pupils experience it. While teachers focus on academic abilities in group assignments, pupils have more nuanced feelings for working with different groups of pupils. Their concerns are primarily related to the socio-economic and disability lines rather than academic ability. Public and private schools have differences in teachers’ perception on equity and inclusion, the incidence of bullying, the types of victims of bullying, and the way of handling bullying. There is a need for clearer definition with realistic and strategic options of equity and inclusion in each context to enable these values to be practiced in school settings.departmental bulletin pape

Can climate change exacerbate the survival of minor languages? A case study of Kiribati

This study examines the social effects brought on by sea level rise in Kiribati, a small island nation located in the Pacific region. It is already well documented that rising sea levels, enhanced by the growing temperatures due to climate change, can adversely affect coastal populations. Furthermore, the low-lying atoll islands are estimated to be the first ones, even among the SIDS, to lose a significant portion of territories and even getsubmerged if the sea level rise speed intensifies. However, even though there is evidence that relocation negatively impacts endangered languages, it is still not known if this could negatively affect languages spoken by small populations which may be permanently displaced. This paper focuses on the cases when natural disasters directly affected local languages by reviewing articles that have either discussed a possible connection between language vitality or estimated the vulnerabilities of Kiribati and other island communities. A significant part of the paper is dedicated to the case study of the perception of threats by the inhabitants of South Tarawa in Kiribati, as it allows us to assess how urgent the situation is based on the observations of the local population. Based on the existing studies and the new data, the study could not find any cases of permanent displacement of the main island, and the scope of migration is not high enough to affect the survival of the local Gilbertese language and thus threaten biocultural diversity in Kiribati. However, the existing future models show that the worsening sea levels may significantly shape this low-lying island nation and its population, and this sense of threat is shared with the local population in Kiribati.departmental bulletin pape

The Effects of Age on the Japanese Verb Fluency Task

言語流暢性課題は，語彙検索の能力を測るために使われるスクリーニングテストである。本研究は，日本語における若年層と老年層の動詞における言語流暢性課題の基準を示すことを目的とする。61人の日本語母語話者の対する実験結果は，若年層よりも老年層のほうが少ない動詞を発することが示された。 クラスター分析では，クラスターとスイッチの数は両者ともに老年層のほうが少ないが，クラスターの大きさには差が観察されなかった。Verb fluency task is a screening test that shows sensitivity to lexical retrieval abilities. This study aims to establish a baseline for verb fluency in Japanese by comparing data from 61 younger and elderly Japanese speakers. The results show that the elderly group produced fewer verbs than the younger group, but compared to Lee et al. (2013), many more correct responses were produced by both groups. An analysis using the Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms found that the number of clusters and switches was smaller for the elderly participants, although the cluster size did not show any difference.departmental bulletin pape
