This study explores graduate students in a master course as well as teacher educator’ learning from each other and how their perspectives changed as they reflected on their shared perspectives of lesson observation through their participation in a physical education lesson study (PELS). The graduate students retained three different perspectives: "viewpoint change type," "viewpoint change type," and "viewpoint increase type. This was influenced by their own expertise and identity, based on their educational experiences. In addition, the influence of the teacher educators was also significant. Furthermore, through the process of PELS and the subsequent dialogue, professional socialization of the graduate students was facilitated by them "learning together." However, it was suggested that their own professional identity may inhibit their learning.

Firstly, we examined the factors that influence graduate students’ learning outcomes from the viewpoint of study time. Secondly, we scrutinized the effect on study time via undergraduate school learning, part-time work, and interactive class experiences. We randomly selected graduate schools and conducted a questionnaire survey in November 2011, targeting 783 students in 31 graduate schools. The results indicate that students who made gains have serious learning behavior such as participating in class, as well as self-learning to enrich their knowledge. It is important for faculty members, as tutors, to confirm the course plan before completing registration so that students can work on self-learning without overdoing it. Moreover, self-learning is influenced by one’s enthusiasm for liberal arts and specialized subjects during one’s undergraduate period, but self-learning is also influenced by part-time work and interactive class experiences.

In this study, I analyze the state and factors of worry and the mental health of Japanese graduate students. Data were sourced from a student survey of one Japanese university in 2015, and a secondary analysis was performed. Multiple regression （ OLS ） analysis where the dependent variable was worry was performed. The independent variables were, gender, age, courses, research field, satisfaction with own research results, economic situation, prospect of future employment, and family situation such as marriage and children. As a result, even when controlling other variables, women’s worries tended to be worse than men. In addition, graduate students’ worries were worse when satisfaction with their own research results were worse, the subjective economic situation was difficult, and the prospect of future employment was worse. Finally, quantile regression （QR） analysis where the dependent variable was mental health was performed. As a result, in the QR analysis targeting the 75th percentile, female dummy and subjective economic situation were statistically significant. For the 90th percentile, female dummy, satisfaction with own research results and subjective economic situation were statistically significant. From this analysis, worry and mental health tended to be worse in women among graduate students, as other studies had reported. In addition, it was found that graduate students’ identities are strongly rooted in their own research. Therefore, along with the provision of social and financial support, research support is considered to be effective in improving the worries and mental health of graduate students.

本稿では、大学院生の政策提言力を高めるための取り組みとして、大学院の開講科目である看護管理・政策のなかの看護政策の授業で大学院生に提示された政策課題と大学院生が取り組んだ政策課題の実際を報告する。看護政策の授業では、看護政策の第一人者である学外講師から大学院生に政策課題が提示され、大学院生は関心のある政策課題を1 題選択し、課題に取り組む。学外講師から提示された政策課題は、看護職者の教育や研修に関連する課題と看護サービスに関連する課題に分けられた。また、政策課題に取り組むことは、政策形成過程と看護政策を実現に導く要素を学ぶことにつながっていた。したがって大学院生は政策課題に取り組むことで、看護職者の資質向上に関連する看護政策と看護サービスの資質向上に向けた看護政策の決定過程を理解し、直面している問題および改善するための道筋を学んでいる。

本研究では、大学院生の心の健康度や疲労度等の心理的・精神的な状態と、心の健康状態に影響を与える要因について明らかにすることを目的とした。山口県立大学大学院の健康福祉学研究科の在学生および修了生45名を対象とし、基本属性、大学院修学状況、家族、仕事、プライベートに関する各種要因の質問紙及び主観的健康感尺度を用いて、調査を実施した。調査の結果、心の健康度は論文執筆前が最も高く、心の健康度の低い学生は論文執筆前より論文執筆中に有意に多かった。また、心の健康度の低い学生には在籍年数の長い学生が有意に多かった。心の疲労度は、論文執筆前、論文執筆中と修了後の間で差はなかった。, In this study, a survey was conducted to examine the mental health status of graduate students, such as psychological health and degree of fatigue, and the factors that affect mental health status. The subjects were 45 students and graduates of the Graduate School of Health and Welfare at Yamaguchi Prefectural University, at three stages of graduate training: “before writing,” “while writing,” and “after graduation.” The survey included questions about basic attributes, family, work, privacy, factors associated with the graduate school, and subjective health. Results showed that psychological health was highest among students at the “before writing” period, and there were significantly more students with low psychological health at the “while writing” period than at the “before writing” period. Furthermore, there was a significant association between low psychological health and long years of schooling. There were no significant differences in mental fatigue between students "before writing,” "while writing,” and “after graduation.”

大学院生は在学年数が短いため，入学初期に早く環境に適応することが重要となる。近年，大学院新入生に「他大学出身者」，「社会人」，「留学生」の割合が増え，大学の環境に適応するには課題が多い。本学では，ピアサポートルームの活動の一環として，大学院生の早期適応を支援するためのサポートグループ活動を実施した。本研究では，その実践活動の内容と効果について検討した。その結果，サポートグループに参加した大学院新入生は，緊張-不安，疲労，混乱，抑うつ-落ち込みなどのネガティブな感情（日本語版POMS 短縮版）が軽減された。また，他大学出身の新入生において，抑うつ-落ち込みの程度が低減するとともに，大学への所属感が高まったことが示唆された。, Graduate school programs are short term, so it is important for first-year graduate students to adapt to the environment as soon as they begin their first semester. As part of peer support activities, we conducted support group activities to assist in early adaptation of new graduate students. In this paper, we examined the effect of the support group. We found that the first-year graduate students who joined the support group had reduced negative emotions (POMS shortened version) such as anxiety, fatigue, confusion, and depression. In addition, depression in students transferring from other universities was reduced and the sense of belonging to the university had increased.

近年，科学コミュニケーションの必要性が認識され，2013年の科学コミュニケーションセンターによる調査では回答者である研究者の過半数以上が研究者以外の人々を対象とした科学コミュニケーション活動を体験している．一方で，そのような機会に参加する人々は科学への関心が元々高い層であり，科学への関心の低い層の取り込みには課題があるといわれている．今後は，普段科学コミュニケーション活動に参加しない「科学への関心の低い層」への情報発信が必要だと考えられる．本報告では，科学への関心が低い層に向け科学者情報の発信を試み，動的に研究者を紹介するWebサイト「研究者時計」を作成し，結果を分析した．本Webサイトでは，閲覧者に研究内容だけ ではなく研究者個人の多様性を見せ，研究活動へ興味を持ってもらうことを狙った．そのために，研究者を時刻ごとにランダムに表示するなど，楽しさ・やわらかさ・親しみやすさを重視したインタフェースを本Webサイトに用いた．本実践を分析するにあたり，Google Analyticsを用いた閲覧者分析，Webアンケート等を行った．本論では本実践の過程，結果，そして課題について述べる．

The main objective of this study was to design the activity standards for the graduate students whoare taking the field training program of school clinical psychologist at the local schools. In designingthe standard activities, the daily field reports of the trainees were compiled and reviewed along withthe guidance logs by their supervising professors over the period of 6 years. Some of the publishedreports written by the students of other graduate schools were also used as the source. We reviewedand analyzed the information to itemize the activities resulting in a total of 490 different activities conductedby the trainees. With the use of KJ method, these data were categorized to 3 levels: 87 3rdlevel activities, 31 2nd level and 10 major classifications which include the following: the activities pertainingto the training environment（ the involvement with the children, faculty and parents）; administrativework （bureaucratic coordination of activities）; and, those related to clinical psychology. Thecategorization process enabled us to separate the constant factors（e.g. 10 major activities）, not influencedby the variables such as the quality level of the students and changing environment as staffrelocation（faculty） loosing the communication channel to set the standard activities that will guide thefuture trainees and supervising professors as well as the local schools with low awareness of clinicalrole for the efficient and fruitful program.

The purpose of this study was to explore (1) the prevalence of Academic Harassment (AH) from professors experienced by graduate students, and (2) how relevant factors link to AH. Specifically, we examined the relations of AH to 3 external factors: "vice-adviser system", "easiness towards other teachers (EOT)", and "support of laboratory members (SLM)". We also examined the relationships between AH and 2 internal factors: optimism and "expectation for teaching quality (ETQ)". We conducted a questionnaire survey on 1,700 graduate students, and the response rate was rate was 29.4%. Data from 506 students was analyzed. The main results were as follows. (1) 18% of graduate students experienced AH from professors. (2) Students who experienced AH, had a low score for EOT, SLM, and optimism. They also demonstrated a high score for ETQ.

For this purpose, the significance and need for statistics and statistics education in nursing are described. Next, the kind and content of textbooks on nursing statistics, and the statistical analyses used in nursing research to date were investigated. Furthermore, the current situation of statistics education in nursing colleges and nursing graduate schools in Japan is discussed. In Japan, nursing statistics has been recognized as a necessity for both nursing practice and research. However, nursing statistics education for students has not been sufficiently addressed. In order to develop nursing research, some special projects to promote nursing statistics education should be established and a further survey needs to be conducted.
