要旨

The aims of this study are (1) to investigate the characteristics of international schools attended by overseas Japanese students, (2) to analyze the current situation of overseas Japanese students with special educational needs in international schools, (3) to analyze how international schools can provide upper secondary education in different countries, and (4) based on these findings, to indicate a desirable future direction for upper secondary education. Data was obtained by a literature survey, two interview surveys, and a questionnaire. These surveys were completed by three international schools in Singapore. Based on the data from the surveys, the following elements were identified as important: A. From the perspective of current international school students who come from a Japanese-educated school: 1) Retaining a Japanese volunteer continuously, or retaining a volunteer with knowledge of special education; 2) Ensuring use of the Japanese students' native language by establishing an integration program with overseas Japanese schools; 3) Employing a bilingual special education teacher; and 4) Employing a Japanese teacher if possible to teach a whole Japanese class for students of similar developmental age. B. Elements of the international school that could be incorporated into the overseas Japanese school: 1) Maintaining use of the Japanese language by establishing integration programs with overseas Japanese school students; 2) Having volunteers in the overseas Japanese school, or use of a maid who is hired by the child's family if the budget is limited; 3) Setting up a special education center in the overseas Japanese school; 4) Considering providing education to students up to the age of 21.
