Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study considers the transfer and migration of secondary school teachers in imperial Japan as a network, and divides it into three periods: (1) the formation period before the war, (2) the collapse period after Japan's defeat, and (3) the reorganization period after the war. The task of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the teacher network in each period. I responded to this challenge by examining the positions of prewar Japanese junior high school teachers in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, after they were repatriated.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果の学術的意義や社会的意義は以下のようにまとめられる。
第一に、帝国日本の教員の異動・移動をネットワークと捉え、それが「戦前と戦後」でどのように変化したのか、また一方で変化しなかったのか、という観点で研究を進めた。第二に、この観点から、中国・青島での学校教育を事例に日本人教員の引き揚げ後の再就職と戦後国民政府による学校施設の接収という、帝国日本崩壊後の日本側と中国側の双方の「戦後」の姿を具体的に描いた。
