| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The first year had the creation of the course “Multiculturalism in Education” to develop the lessons and activities which were used to improve participants’ cultural competency. Also created and analyzed a questionnaire to assess participant understanding of team teaching. The second stage saw the researchers begin collecting data from the “Multiculturalism in Education” course to see the effect of courses on the improvement of participant cultural competency. Data collection began from a second course focusing on the cultures of foreign countries, “Education in Japan and Around the World.” The final stage saw the final analysis of data from courses and questionnaire. This data was shared via publications and presentations. The researcher presented the results at an international conference. Approximately 25 participants attend the presentation. The researcher participated in the JET Program Mid-Year Conference, opening up opportunities in the continuation of this study.
