Research Study on the Current Situation of Former Foreign Students and Their Expected Function.

本研究以泰国、马来西亚、印尼、韩国及台湾(台湾仅限第一年)留学生为研究对象，调查留学日本留学生回国后的社会活动与功能。我们的研究过程分为以下三个方面：1)针对每个合作研究人员在特定国家的调查研究，2)龙阁寺校友数据库的建设，3)研究交流和进一步发展的研讨会。第一年，大多数活动集中在五个国家的调查研究。六名成员研究人员访问了这些国家的前Ryugaku-sei，并有机会与他们进行了讨论。通过对这一案例的研究，研究人员对琉球进日的实际背景有了共同的认识。第二年，继续进行国别研究，并建立了新的…更多关于建设琉球大学校友数据库的项目开始了。虽然包括泰国、马来西亚和印度尼西亚在内的一些国家成立了前Ryugaku-sei的校友组织，但其成员仍然存在偏见。从我们的观点来看，要对日本的琉球学校政策进行科学评估，一个琉球学校校友数据库作为基线人口将是必不可少的。因此，我们制定了六所国立大学的共同模式，并开始了投入工作。在未来，当这个数据库在一定的伦理范围内使用时，我们可以跟随前Ryugaku-sei到他们所在的任何地方。在第三年，也是最后一年，我们在泰国Mahidol大学的东盟卫生发展研究所(AIHD)举办了为期两天的研究研讨会。几乎所有的研究成员和其他前任琉球都出席了会议，并从不同的角度就琉球问题的历史和未来进行了热烈的讨论。这项为期三年的研究项目对研究人员在日本琉球问题的一个新的研究领域拓展我们的观点是很有帮助的。该项目不仅鼓励了日本的研究人员，也鼓励了亚洲国家的研究人员，他们正在观察日本在国际舞台上的行为和意图。最后，我们要感谢教育和文化部对这一项目的支持。较少

In this research, we have investigated the social activities and functions of former Ryugaku-sei (foreign student in Japan) after returning to their own countries.The research subjects were the returned Ryugaku-sei in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan (Taiwan only for the first year). Our research process was divided into the following three areas ; 1) the survey research in a specific country for each collaborating researcher, 2) the construction of a Ryugaku-sei alumni data base, 3) the workshop for the research communication and the further development.In the first year, most activities were focused on survey research in the five countries. The six member researchers visited and had chances to have discussion meetings with former Ryugaku-sei's in these countries. The researchers got to share the common understanding about the actual background of Ryugaku-sei to Japan through this case studies.In the second year, the country specific researches were continued and a new … More project on constructing a Ryugaku-sei alumni data base got started. While alumni organizations of former Ryugaku-sei were established in some countries including Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, its membership was still biased. For conducting a scientific assessment of the Japanese Ryugaku-sei policy from our view, a Ryugaku-sei alumni data base would be essential as a baseline population. We, therefore, have developed a common format among the six national universities and began input work. In the future, we could follow the former Ryugaku-sei wherever they move when this data base were in use within some ethical limitations.In the third and final year, we had held a research workshop at AIHD (ASEAN Institute for Health Development) of Mahidol University, Thailand, for two days. Almost all the research members and other former Ryugaku-sei attended and had a lively discussion about the historical and future Ryugaku-sei issues from various aspects.This three year research project was quite useful for the researchers to extend our views in a new research field in Ryugaku-sei issues in Japan. The project also encouraged not only the Japanese researchers but also the researchers as the former Ryugaku-sei in Asian countries who are watching Japanese behavior and intention in the international arena. Finally we would like to express our appreciation to the Ministry of Education and Culture for supporting this project. Less
