虽然日裔巴西人寻求在日本长期或永久居住的趋势有所增加，但他们的子女的学业成功仍然存在问题。本研究在日本和巴西进行，通过两国学校间的相互理解，弄清了与这类学生有关的问题，并探讨了解决方法。调查结果揭示了3个问题。1)巴西教师如何对待有公立学校入学经验的儿童？2)学童和看护人如何评价他们就读的学校？3)留学归国人员的日语和葡萄牙语能力如何变化？

While the trend of Brazilians of Japanese descent to seek long-term or permanent residence in Japan increases, academic success of their children remains problematic. This research, performed in Japan and Brazil, clarified problems related to such schoolchildren and pursued resolution methods based on mutual understanding between schools in both countries.Survey findings revealed 3 questions central to this issue. 1) How do Brazilian teachers approach children with enrolment experience in public schools? 2) How do schoolchildren and caretakers evaluate the schools in which they were enrolled? 3) How do the Japanese and Portuguese language skills of school-aged returnees change?
