Study on Educational Supports for Newcomer Children

为了探究研究课题，我们对新移民家庭（超过120个家庭）进行了密集访谈调查。我们关注的少数民族是：“印度支那难民”（来自越南、老挝和柬埔寨）。“南美日裔”（来自巴西和秘鲁）和“东亚新移民”（来自中国和韩国）。除此之外，我们还在中国和韩国做了一些实地工作，了解这两个国家的教育状况。实际上，各种各样的教育策略已经被发现。它们与母国的社会和教育状况密切相关。本研究报告的第一章着重分析了三个民族在教育策略上的差异。这些差异被整理成三个主题：“家庭中的语言使用和文化传播”、“对日本学校的看法和承诺”和“对孩子未来的希望和支持”。第二章和第三章讨论印度支那难民教育策略的细节。在同一方面，对巴西日本人（第四章）、韩国新移民（第五章）和中国归国者（第六章）进行了广泛的探讨。根据报告的调查结果，应探讨支持他们的具体方法，以满足他们各自的教育需要。

We carried out an Intensive interview survey for newcomer families (over 120 families) in order to explore the research topic. The ethnic groups we focused on are : "Indochinese refugees" (from Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia). "South Americans of Japanese descent" (from Brazil and Peru) and "East-Asian newcomers" (from China and South Korea). In addition to that, we did some field work In China and South Korea to understand what's going on in education in those two countries.In effects, various sorts of educational strategies have been found out. They strongly relates to the social and educational conditions of their home countries. Chapter 1 of the research report is focusing on the differences of the educational strategies which those three ethnic groups are utilizing. The differences are sorted out under the three themes : "language use and cultural transmission in the family" , "views against and commitments to the Japanese school" and "wish for children's future and the supports for that". Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are dealing with the details of educational strategies of Indochinese refugees. In the same strand, those of Brazilian Japanese (Chapter 4), of Korean newcomers (Chapter 5) and of Returners from China (Chapter 6) have been explored extensively.On the basis of the findings shown in the report, concrete ways of supporting them should be explored in order to meet their respective educational needs.
