Research Abstract |
This three-year project has three aims : 1)to clarify the impacts upon the Afghanistan side of the Training course for Leading Afghan Women's Educators offered jointly by Five Japanese Women's universities and by JICA as a part of Japan's technical cooperation under the ODA program, 2)to examine the impacts of the administration of the Afghan program upon the Japanese side including universities themselves as well as their student body, and 3)the development of curriculum which would channel student career orientations more in favor of international cooperate work. The research report consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 discusses current conditions of Afghan education with a special reference of gender issues and overviews the training program along with its implication of curriculum renovation of social studies in postwar Japan to Afghan school. Chapter 2 examines the impact of the training course upon Afghan schools by a follow-up survey of those principals who joined once in our program. This chapter reports how Japanese educational practices of staff meetings, clean-up activities by students, classroom decorations and so on were adopted to their schools by principals, Chapter 3 deals with findings of two surveys which were administered to students of five universities about their career orientation, their interest and concerns, world citizenship, life style etc. In Chapter 4 consequences of curriculum development in the field of international cooperation are described and student reactions are also discussed. In the final remarks I discusses the problems to be solved in the administration of assistance programs to developing countries.
