FY2015 Designated Survey Projects
In fiscal 2015, we set three designated research topics and conducted research on them.
| theme | Survey on the Factors Inhibiting Employment of International Students in Japan and the Kyoto Area |
| Principal Investigator | Kyoto Sangyo University Faculty of Law, Professor Masanori Nakatani |
| Background and Objectives of the Study | With the advancement of globalization, companies are increasingly willing to hire international students (hereinafter referred to as “international students”), and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are common in Kyoto, are no exception. However, international students’ awareness of local companies is lower than that of Japan students. The purpose of this study is to analyze the barriers that prevent international students from finding employment, especially in Kyoto companies, by conducting questionnaires and interviews with international students, universities, and companies. In addition, we will comprehensively consider what is an effective educational method to remove these obstacles, what is an effective way to convey support information from companies and governments, and how to deal with the anxiety of local residents due to the increase in international students (foreigners). |

| theme | Questionnaire survey on internship graduates |
| Principal Investigator | Ritsuko Kawamura, Faculty of International Relations, Ritsumeikan University |
| Background and Objectives of the Study | In the internship business, we have been conducting questionnaires immediately after the program to measure the educational effect. We conducted a follow-up survey of students who went through the internship program in 2007, but since the situation surrounding internships has changed considerably, we conducted a questionnaire survey in 2015 and found that the graduates of previous years who participated in the Foundation’s internship program Clarify how the internship experience has influenced your university life and career and personality development after graduation. Therefore, we will set research questions to measure the educational effectiveness of the internship. We will also investigate the intention of ALumni/alumni to play an advisory role and receive guidance from the University Consortium Kyoto with the aim of contributing to the refinement of this program from the perspective of alumni who have become working adults. |

| theme | “Survey on Growth Perceptions through Activities for Kyoto Student Festival Student Executive Committee ~Verification of the effectiveness of inter-college activities and further business improvement~” |
| Principal Investigator | Professor Masami Mori, Faculty of Sociology, Kyoto Bunkyo University |
| Background and Objectives | generic skills and project management skills of the Student Executive Committee members will be nurtured through various activities such as interaction with students and working adults from other universities, planning, management, and implementation of the activities of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee. However, until now, there has been insufficient research and reporting on the educational effects of student festival activities. Therefore, through the activities of the Executive Committee, we aim to clarify how students will grow (educational effects) through prog tests and interviews, and through quantitative and qualitative analysis, and to use them as materials to explain the significance and effects of the project to various stakeholders. In addition, we will use it to further improve our operations, such as reviewing the management and teaching methods of the Kyoto Student Festival. |
