Compararive Survey on Returned Chinese Overseas Students

本研究旨在通过问卷调查的方法，对留日、留欧美中国留学生的现状及留学效果进行调查。通过比较这两个案例的结果，我们旨在改进日本现行的留学生教育政策。在第一年，我们准备了一份从日本或欧美归国的中国留学生名单，并对他们进行了初步调查。在此基础上，我们从第二年开始设计问卷的框架。日本委员会与中国委员会进行了多次会晤，我们在中国大陆通过三种方式获取信息：一是邮寄问卷，二是通过熟人或留学生亲自转交，三是面对面采访。在调查过程中，我们发现自费留学生从美国回国的人数很少。因此，同样的调查也在美国进行。但由于成本和时间的限制，这种回收率很低（低于10%）。去年主要用于分析问题。研究结果表明，高学历的中国学生倾向于去美国或欧洲，低学历的中国学生倾向于去日本。但他们对日本的印象是好的，而且随着时间的推移越来越好，很多留学生认为，如果日本在回国后继续给予研究或教育方面的资助，他们在日本的留学经历将能够取得更丰硕的成果。

The purpose of this research is to investigate the present condition and the abroad effect of the returned Chinese overseas students who studied in Japan or in Europe and America using the questionaires research method. By comparing the results of these two cases with each other, we aim at the improvement of the present Japanese policy of the education for international students in Japan.In the first year, we prepared a list of returned Chinese overseas students from Japan or from Europe and America, and interviewed them as a preliminary investigation. Based on these interviews, we began to design the framework of questionaires from the biginning of the second year. Meetings were held several times between the Japanese members and the Chinese members of the counter part.We obtained information by following three methods in China land.One is to send out questionairs by mail, the second is to hand over them personally through acquaintances or returned students, and the last method is to interview face to face. Consequently the rate of collection amouts to 74.3%.On the way of investigation, we found that very few international students at their own expences returned from America. So the same investigation was made also in America for referrence. But this collection rate is very low because of the lack of cost andtime (Lower than 10%.).The last year was absorbed mainly to the analysis of questionairs. The results shows that the Chinese students of high academic career have a tendency to go to America or Europe, and the lower, go to Japan. But their impression of Japan is favorable, and it became better and better as time goes on. And many returned students regard that their experience to study in Japan would be able to obtain more fruitful results, if Japan could continue to give financial assistance for research or education after returning to China.
