Survey of the development of Brazilian children born or raised in Japan : Focus on follow-up care

根据本研究的调查结果，有五个大体需要考虑的要点变得清晰。关于外国儿童的内容学习，小学和中学教师使用的评估标准是不同的。对于就读巴西学校的学生来说，初中和高中的入学人数比以前有了很大的增加，在日本逗留的时间更长，学术技能也有提高的趋势。日本和巴西的文化差异对学龄儿童产生了影响。巴西学童回国后遇到的各种困难已经发生了变化。有一种趋势是，儿童及其监护人希望巴西学童继续深造。调查的目的不仅是向参与机构报告上述结果，也是为了增加对其他机构和调查结果的了解。通过这种方式，基于调查数据的研究结果相互补充，并有助于解释关于巴西学童目前面临的问题的共同发现

Based on the survey results obtained in this research study, five general points for consideration became clear.1. Regarding content learning by foreign children, there is a difference between the assessment standards used by primary school and middle school teachers.2. For students attending Brazilian schools, the enrollment in middle and high schools has greatly increased compared to previously, and a trend of longer period of stay in Japan as well as improved academic skill is noted.3. The cultural differences between Japan and Brazil exhibit an effect on school children.4. The kinds of difficulties encountered by Brazilian schoolchildren upon return to their country have changed.5. There is a trend for children and their guardians to expect Brazilian schoolchildren to pursue further academic advancement.The goal of the survey was not only to report the above results to participating institutions, but also to increase understanding of results obtained from other institutions and surveys. In this way, study results based on survey data complement each other and help explain mutual findings about problems presently faced by Brazilian schoolchildren
