抄録

  The purpose of this paper is to clarify the type of learning program offered on radio and the learning model used by radio broadcasts for women in the modern age.

  On radio, the "Katei-kouza" (home-course), the "Fujin-kouza" (women's-course), and the "Katei-Daigaku-Kouza" (home-university-course) were broadcast as programs for women.

  In the "Katei-kouza", practical knowledge was offered. Many current topics were taken up in the "Fujin-kouza", and academic contents of a high level were broadcast in the "Katei-Daigaku-kouza."

  Among these, "Katei-kouza" and the "Katei-Daigaku-kouza" had many serialized programs.

  These had curricula. There was an introduction in the first day's broadcast and then the contents became more detailed in following programs. Moreover, many texts were published for the continuous programs. Women could use the text together with the radio broadcasts for more effective study.

  From the above, the radio broadcast in the modern age opened new learning opportunities for women, who tended to be shut up at home.

  And it also gave them chances to receive lectures from eminent academics at home. Furthermore, the new form of continuing education was established by radio and it also had become the starting point of today's broadcast study programs.
