| Research Abstract |
The final research report is comprised of five parts.
Part I collects the overviews of various cases of OFWs. It covers the OFW in China (Chap.1,2001), OFW in Thailand (Chap.2,2002), OFW in Korea (Chap3,2003) conducted as formal curriculum of GSID, and reports various new attempts and associated issues. The OFW in China, encountered such difficulties as setting-up the program in a country new to OFW, bureaucratic obstacles, poor accessibility to information, reports how these difficulties were overcome. Thai OFW introduced two new schemes. The first was the program design which imitated the aid agency's procedure covering from fieldwork to report writing.

Chapter 4 introduces the fieldwork program, by Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development (FASID). Chapter 5 reports the case of fieldwork in Cambodia with less number of students and with more specific research purpose. Chapter 6 takes up Bangladesh and looks into the possibility of OFW mainly assisted by NGOs.
In Part II (Chap.7-12), professors engaged in the OFW write about problems and proposals concerning the actual management of the OFW and students evaluation. The Part III is the study on significance of OFW in educational curriculum. The Linkage between OFW and GSID's domestic fieldwork (DFW) (Chap.13), significance of the overseas fieldwork in the education at development schools (Chap.14), cases in UK (Chap.15) are reported. The Part TV (Chapter 16) gives the summary results of the workshop held in October 2003 with the participation of experts from Japan and overseas. The Part V explains the preliminary research visit to the candidate sites and the development of teaching materials, taking up the case of OFW in Thailand in 2002. Less
