- 研究成果概要
- It is known that people born and grown in different cultures act differently. This is because culture is the result of the practices people used along time and at the same time culture influences the practices of people in the present. As an example of human activity, scientific research is expected to be conducted differently in countries that differ in cultural background. In this research, the related literature was first surveyed. Differences in how science education has been delivered in the classrooms, and how students having different backgrounds react to these different practices have been reported: even in a single country like the United States, children of different ethnicity and cultural background are raised differently. Differences between how Japanese and European American mothers talk to their children have also been reported. In order to verify how the cultural background is reflected in the classroom discourse in higher education, a corpus of lectures delivered in English at two leading American universities and a corpus of lectures delivered in Japanese at a leading Japanese university by various native speakers of their respective languages were built. The purpose is to compare the corpora to identify influences of the cultural background on pedagogical practices.
