English to Japanese: Except from the book "Constructivist Learning Design: Key Questions for Teaching to Standards " General field: Other Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Thoughtful, reform-minded educators expect students to solve problems, think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate well with others. These processes require an approach to learning that is much more complex than memorizing facts. Our system of education has often confused memorizing with learning. Being able to recall something does not mean that you understand it or know how to use it. Giving students information and testing their memory of facts does not offer opportunities for them to collaborate productively and undertake complex tasks. Receiving and remembering information does not engage students in learning. Often, we see students succeed in high school with grades and test scores high enough to get them into prestigious colleges, but they avoid mathematics and science courses when the get there. These students report that their conceptual understanding of math and science is much weaker than their ability to memorize formulas or remember algorithms as procedures they can complete but do not really comprehend.
Translation - Japanese 思慮に富んだ改革志向の教育者が望むのは、生徒自身が問題を解決し、批判的に物事を考え、効果的に情報のやり取りをし、他者とうまく協力することである。こうした一連の行為を行うには、事実を暗記するよりもずっと多くの複雑な学びの方法をとらなくてはならない。私たちの教育制度は多くの場合、記憶することが学びだと勘違いしているが、何かを暗記したからといって、それを理解していることにはならないし、その内容の使い道を知っているとは限らない。生徒に情報を与え、覚えた事柄についてのテストを行ったからといって、それが生産的に共同作業を行ったり、複雑な課題に取り組んだりする機会となるわけではない。情報を受け取り、それを暗記しても、生徒は学びに参加しているとは言えないのである。例えば，学校の成績や試験で有名大学に入学する条件を満たす高得点を見事にとっている高校生は、大学に入学すると数学や化学を避けてしまうことが多々ある。そうした生徒によれば、自分たちは、実際には理解していないが、完成さえすれば良い手順として、公式やアルゴリズムを覚えるのは得意であり、そうした暗記能力に比べて数学や化学を概念的に理解する力は劣っているということである。
English to Japanese: Book Review General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English In sum, this book is an authoritative and practical guide written by a respected educator in the United States on social work practice with aging. It is highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn or teach the basic foundations to social work practice with older adults with the most recent and accurate research and theory. The readers can also feel a sense of excitement in gerontological social work practice throughout the book because of the recent surge of research findings on practicing with older adults: “There is a tremendous opportunity for social workers to play a vital role in not only identifying each older adults’ unique challenge but also finding services to meet those needs” (p. 359). One can sense that this book already welcomes the need for subsequent revisions as the field of aging evolves around the changing needs of our older adults. Till the next revised edition, this 4th edition remains the best resource on this topic.
Translation - Japanese 本書は言うならば、高齢化に関する社会福祉プラクティスについて米国で最も尊敬される教育者により書かれた、権威ある実用的ガイドである。ごく最近の最も緻密な研究と理論を通じて、高齢者社会福祉プラクティスの基礎を学んだり、教えたりしたいと考える読者には大いに推薦したい一冊である。読者は、高齢者へのプラクティスに関して次々と展開される新しい研究結果を見ることで、老年学社会福祉プラクティスに存在する高揚感をも本書全体から感じることができるだろう。「高齢者が個々に抱える困難を特定するのみならず、そのニーズを満たす支援を見つけ出すことにおいて、社会福祉士が重要な役割を果たす機会は多岐にわたる」(p. 359)。高齢化の現場は高齢者のニーズの移り変わりと共に進化するため、本書も今後の改訂が必要となる。次の改訂版の出版を待つ間、この第4版は、高齢化福祉プラクティスに関する最良のリソースとなることであろう。

My experience as a linguist started over 20 years ago, when I began my career as a language instructor while studying English (especially American) literature and related subjects at graduate school in Japan and the U.S. Since then, I have developed a highly proficient command of English and deeper insight into my native language, Japanese, through my teaching jobs at universities and in adult education, and my career as a self-employed translator, subtitler, and editor/proofreader.
