| Research Abstract |
I researched into the actual condition about the dialect punishment board in modern Okinawa according to the reminiscences which appeared on the memorial books published by the elementary schools in Okinawa. I made the facts clear: Firstly the elementary schools in Okinawa had the dialect punishment board since the first half of 1900's. This fact suggested that the board appeared a little older than the treatises had pointed out, and that it still was used at 1920's and 1930's that was the period the papers pointed it was not used. Secondly the basic characteristic on the dialect punishment board was the mutual watch and the penalty for speaking the dialect. But there was the difference among schools about the scoop of application and so on. The children wanted to escape the dialect punishment board and not to hand it, so they often forced their friends to speak the Okinawan dialect.
I analyzed the records and the logic of educational practice using the Japanese reader on ordinary elementary school in Okinawa prefecture edited by ministry of education in 1897, at the same time the Japanese government shaped the policy toward the establishment of the national standard language. The records and the logic of educational practice appeared on The Education in Ryukyu' (called Ryukyu-Kyouiku) published by the party consisted of the teachers in Okinawa prefecture (called Okinawaken-Shiritsu-Kyouikukai). I made the facts clear. In about 1900 teachers wanted to change on the educational method of the national standard language, that is to say teachers denied using the dialect in their lessons and depended only on the national standard language. The educational practice on the national standard language in Okinawa included the removal of the Okinawan dialect.
