授業の概要
Public opinion polls are widespread in our daily lives. ‘Scientific’ research surveys are quite common in the academic world as well as in business and government. Polls can actually form opinion; some people look to them to decide who and what to believe. Understanding how polls and surveys are created, used and abused is an important part of a Liberal Arts education.
大衆一般の意見を聞くためのアンケート調査結果は、私達の日常においてもメディアを通してしばしば伝えられます。「科学的な」統計的調査というものは、学問、ビジネス、政治など、様々な領域でよく用いられる手法です。そして調査結果というものは、実際、意見を形成したりもします。人々は、調査結果を見て、誰を、何を信じるかを決めるよりどころとするからです。ですから、いかに調査が作られ、用いられ、時に悪用されているかなどを理解する事は、リベラルアーツ教育においてとても重要な部分です。

In this course, students will not only learn about surveys but will create their own on a topic of their own choosing. This is the 60th anniversary of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Students will be asked to focus on one or more of these human rights for their research topic.
この授業では、受講生は調査について学ぶだけではなく、実際に各自のトピックに基づいた調査を企画していただきます。今年は、世界人権宣言の60周年の年にあたりますから、受講生には人権に関連する話題に焦点をあてて取り組んでいただきます。
This course will emphasize collaboration, with other students and with the teacher, thinking critically in order to create and revise the survey questions so that the language is appropriate and accurate. The survey will be given, the data collected and then interpreted and presented in a final presentation.
受講生はそれぞれの課題に取り組みますが、コースそのものは受講生間、担当教員との相互の交流や意見交換を重視します。創造力を発揮するために、お互い助け合いましょう。そうすることで、調査用紙に用いられる言葉遣いは、厳選された適切なものとなるでしょう。調査票を配布し、データを集め、それを解釈し、最終的には口頭発表で成果を共有していただきます。

到達目標
Students will be asked to look at the status quo, question it, and become active participants; not merely adapt to the world as it is. The focus is on Culture and Communication through a Problem- Posing Approach adapted from the Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire.
