Abstract
This case study focuses on Japanese international cooperation with Latin America in the field of education for art and design. The previous study made clear that JICA volunteers’ consciousness transformation during their activity is important in order to lead to a technology transfer. The current study found out that two factors significantly affect this transformation: partaking in activities outside of duties and deeper understanding of the local culture. These elements develop awareness among local teachers, students and parents. In addition, it is revealed that about 1/3 of the volunteers successfully accomplished these two factors and the structure to lead to a technology transfer for art and design by cooperation. These were analyzed mainly by qualitative study with an inductive logic from different angles that were considered factors in the cooperation activity to lead to a technology transfer.
