Study of the Local History of Adult and Community Education in the Post-War-Okinawa.

本研究的目的是，通过对冲绳冲绳的“aza”或“shima”等小社区的实证调查，弄清其文化结构中的历史事实和特征。我们调查的地点是边野古区，矢部区，源贺区（名护市），总部区，大副区（读谷村），石峰区（那霸市），索奈区，久不区，彦川区（与那国村）。1.冲绳成人与社区教育体系的建立过程，不仅取决于当地社区的文化与社会条件，还取决于独立的小社区的制度、观念与活动条件.许多关于“aza-kominkan（小社区的kominkan）"活动、社区政府、仪式和其他社区生活的材料似乎具有教育功能。四、冲绳的“社区史”出版运动与加拿大、法国的“生活史”运动有共同点。在美国占领时期，有关成人和社区教育的新事实在这些天公开的USCAR文件中被发现。在名护市八贺地区的图书馆和博物馆进行的一项新试验中发现的意义的检查。这些年的研究结果被汇总在东京-冲绳-东亚成人教育与文化论坛（TOAFAEC）的三份报告和公报中。
