Research Project on Teaching and Hosting Foreigh Students

在研究项目的最后一年，我们对以前属于科比大学的外国学生进行了问卷调查。问卷的标题是“关于教学和接待外国学生的研究项目”。我们向世界54个国家（以及日本国内）发送了499个邮件，主要是亚洲地区。在日本境内有48个哨所。回收问卷124份，占全部499份的24.9%。返回岗位的国家（地区）如下。28篇来自中国大陆，19篇来自台湾，11篇来自韩国，28篇来自东南亚和整个南亚，13篇来自中南美洲，8篇来自美国，5篇来自澳大利亚，2篇来自加拿大，1篇来自几内亚。综上所述，以下是重要的：（1）导致每个外国学生不满意或与之相关的主要因素是什么？我们认为这是留学生事务中最有趣的问题。本研究的结果表明，与此相关的主要因素是每个外国学生对自己日语能力的自我评价。除此之外，有时“附加因素”也很重要。在这种情况下，“附加因素”指的是论文的选择方式或指导教授的选择。一般来说，我们可以断言每个外国学生的满意/不满意意识是“需求水平“和“成就水平”之间的函数。例如，在攻读博士学位的情况下，也可以用这一假设来解释欧美留学生的满意度相对较高，而亚洲留学生的不满意度相对较低的原因。日本人对来自欧美和亚洲国家的留学生的态度差异也是有原因的。

In the last year of our research project, we performed the questionnaire to the foreign students that formerly belonged to Kobe University.The title of the questionnaire is "Research Project on Teaching and Hosting Foreign Students". We sent 499 posts to the 54 nations in the world (and inside Japan) mainly to Asian areas. There was 48 posts to the areas inside Japan. Returned questionnaire are 124 posts, that is 24.9% in the whole 499 posts. Nations (areas) of returned posts are as the following. 28 posts from China, 19 from Taiwan, 11 from Korea, 28 from Southeast Asia and South Asia as a whole, 13 from Middle and South America, 8 from United States of America, 5 from Australia, 2 from Canada, 1 from Guinea.To sum up, followings are important: (1) What is the main factor which causes or correlated to the dissatisfaction of each foreign student ? We think this is the most interesting problem in the matter of foreign students affairs. The results of this research project positively show that the main factor correlated to is the self-estimation of each foreign student's own ability on Japanese Language. Besides that, sometimes the "additional factors" become important. In this case, the "additional factors" mean that the way of the selection of the thesis or selection of the guidance professor.In general, we can assert that the consciousness of satisfaction / dissatisfaction of each foreign students is the function between the "level of demand " and the " level of achievement". For example, it can be said that in the case of taking doctorial degree, and we can also explain by this hypothesis that the relatively high level of satisfaction of the foreign students from U.S.A. or Europe and dissatisfaction of those from Asian countries. It also exists the factors that concerns the difference of attitude of Japanese people to the foreign students who are from U.S.A. or Europe and from Asian countries.
