Outline of Final Research Achievements

Teachers recognized that learning Japanese traditional culture and fostering human relations as the educational impact of budo. Students also recognize that experiencing Japanese culture and fostering manners as results of budo learning. It was found that there was a gap between teachers and students regarding the educational impact of a budo program. Teachers believe they could teach traditional culture through a budo program, but students do not think so.
Comparing the educational impact of budo between judo participants in the Europe and Japan suggest that there are some differences between two groups. European participants were higher interested in the technical aspect of judo than Japanese. On the other hand, Japanese participants were higher interested in traditional aspect of judo than European. This indicated that the learning budo in the junior high school is functioning as an opportunity that renew the students' awareness of traditional culture of Japan.
