Creating Classes for Developing the Concept of Functions : A System of Learning Activities for Drawing out Four Qualities Tied to Nurturing the Concept of Functions

本研究は，数・量・図形的要素を見出し，どのような関係があるのかを考え，そこにきまりを発見していく力を育成するために以下の研究を進めた。昨年度は，函数観念の育成につながる授業の中で引き出したい４つの姿である，①事象の中に数・量・図形的要素を見つけようとする姿，②どのような関係かを考えていこうとする姿，③関係の中にある法則を見つけようとする姿，④事象を関係で見ていこうとする姿を発達段階ごとに設定し，その４つの姿を引き出すことを目的とした学習活動を仕組む授業実践を積み重ねた。さらに，本年度は，「関数の考えの指導」の関数の考えの背景となる「物事を動的に見ようとする態度」に焦点をあて，４つの姿を引き出すこととする。それらの取り組みを小学校と中学校で統一して取り組むことで「中一ギャップ」や算数・数学への円滑な移行ができると考えた。その結果，単元の事前と事後，昨年と今年とでは４つの姿をについて，どの項目についても肯定的な回答であった。また，教師が意図的に関数の考えを授業の中で取り扱っていくことが，子どもに「関数の観念」を育んでいく上で効果的であり，小・中学校で統一した指導も可能であることが分かった。This study was conducted, as a means of nurturing the ability to discover set facts when seeking out numerical, volumetric, and graphical elements in pondering relationships. Last year, four of figure you want a drawer in the class, which leads to the development of the function concept has been pulled out. This year, the focus was placed on “attitudes for seeing things dynamically”, as a precursor to thinking about functions, and the instruction thereof. It was felt that unifying these efforts in elementary and junior high schools would relieve the “first-year gap”. The result of these efforts was a positive response to all four qualities in both years, before and after the teaching units. In addition, teachers’ deliberate treatment of the idea of functions in classrooms was effective in engendering the “concept of functions” in children, showing that it is possible to have a unified way of teaching in elementary and junior high schools

The main object of this study is to examine the life course and attitude of alumni that would be notably influenced by what they had learned and experienced in Toyo-Eiwa University. We prepared a unique socio-economic and opinion survey on entire 3, 192 alumni, conducted on unregistered basis in June, 2003. Five hundred forty-two (17.9%) alumni responded to the survey and 19 alumni allowed us for having further hearings from them. Note that the response rate in this study is not high enough to come to any definite conclusions capable to represent their behavior and thoughts after the graduation. However, we still believe that some results provide significant and useful resource for us to review how the college education has been affecting the choices and attitudes at various stages of their life. The survey consists of four main subjects ; (1) the degree of satisfaction with the college life and the sense of self-respect as Toyo-Eiwa alumni ; (2) individual demographic characteristics (e. g., age and family status including marriage/divorce status, and birth, etc) ; (3) the history of socioeconomic status (e. g., current and past employment status, wage, working hours, qualifications, living status, and health status, etc) ; and (4) the attitude of life course (e. g., marriage, family life, and various social activities, etc). Our results reveal that most alumni who responded to the survey feel impressed and affected by what they studied and experienced in their college-age. They have been trying to survive with self-respect as Toyo-Eiwa alumni, under the socio-economic circumstances getting severer through 1 990\u27s. Finally, we are really grateful for alumni who spent long hours to complete our survey sheet, in particular, for those who kindly agreed to further face-to-face interview conducted by some undergraduates. Without their collaboration and a number of useful remarks on this study, we would not have been capable to continue and accomplish the research

The main object of this paper is to investigate the work careers and life careersof Toyo Eiwa University alumnae, and to examine what influenced their decision makingand their feelings about their careers.The authors prepared an original sociological and opinion survey on all 2930alumnae, grouped according to their graduate years. The survey was conducted onan unregistered basis in July 2007. The questionnaires were mailed to the alumnaewhose graduate year is even. Seven hundred sixty two (25% ) of the alumnae respondedto the survey. The response rate was not high enough to come to any definite conclusionon the behavior of and thought concerning the career building of Toyo EiwaUniversity alumunae. However, the authors believe that it is very important to investigatethe results and report on findings that may be useful in reviewing and improvingcolledge education.The alumnae association of Toyo Eiwa University kindly allowed use of its listof members, and Hajime Sasaki, the head officer of the career section of Toyo EiwaUniversity, helped us to elaborate the questionnaires and to contact the alumnae.The paper consists of five sections: 1) the purpose of the study; 2) the report onthe entire survey; 3) the relation between the first job decision making and its results;4) the timing of retirement from the first job and life course; 5) the free opinion of thealumnae and some findings. Sections 1 and 2 were written by Hayashi; Section 3 waswritten by Hasegawa; Section 4 was written by Arita; Section 5 was written by Kawasaki
