School Experience in High School and Career Differentiation at the Beginning of the 20th : A Research in Okinawa Prefecture

本研究以1994年进入冲绳县高中的青少年为研究对象，对他们在高中时的学校经历和职业意识进行调查，以掌握他们的职业分化及其意识。本研究的工作包括（1）统计调查、（2）访谈、（3）问卷调查、（4）问卷调查、（5）问卷调查、（6）问卷调查、（7）问卷调查、（8）问卷调查、（9）问卷调查、（10）问卷（3）理论研究：（1）在2001会计年度发放了问卷，并在2002会计年度上半年进行了问卷调查和初步分析。在（2）中，我从（1）调查的受访者中选出了年轻人，根据他们的学术背景和目前的职业进行了采访，这是通过（1）调查获得的许多知识之一。在（3）中，通过阅读吉登斯的作品，作为一名英国社会学家，我获得了一个新的-对我来说-分析的观点：青年的“自我认同”，这项研究的对象，是如何构建在“后现代”的时代背景下的？“冲绳”的地方性在这个全球化的时代背景下，在自我认同中具有什么样的意义？在本研究的报告中，我主要写了（1）的结果，进行了初步分析。我在那里展示了通过研究获得的以下知识：他们有什么样的自我形象？他们对自己的职业生活有什么样的看法？他们如何看待他们目前的处境？他们对“冲绳”有什么看法？从这些知识中推断出他们的“自我认同”是什么？他们因性别和不同的职业而有什么不同？

This study is aimed, through the research on the youth, who entered high schools in Okinawa Prefecture in 1994, and on whose school experiences and career awareness I researched as a member of a survey project at the time when they were high school students, for grasping their career differentiation and their awareness accompanying it. The work of the study was composed of (1) statistical survey, (2) interview, and (3) theoretical studies.In (1), I distributed questionnaires in the 2001 fiscal year, and collected answered questionnaires and do the primary analysis on them in the first half of the 2002 fiscal year. In (2), I had interviews with the youth, selected from the respondents of the (1) survey, categorized on their academic background and their current occupations, which among many knowledges procured through the (1) survey. In (3), by reading works of Giddens, A., a Sociologist in UK, I acquired a new -for me- analytical point of view; how are 'self-identities' of the youth, objects of this research, constructed against the background of the age of 'late modernity'? What meanings does the locality of 'Okinawa' take in their self-identity in relation to the context of the advance of globalization in this age?In the report of this study, I wrote mainly on the result of (1), developing the primary analysis. I presented there the below knowledges obtained through the research; What self images do they have? What conceptions do they have with regards to their job life? How do they look on how they are currently situated? What do they think of 'Okinawa'? What are their 'self-identities' inferred from these knowledges? What differences do they assume by gender, and by the differentiated careers?
