1年間のインドネシア留学が日本人高校生にもたらす変容（インドネシアに国際連携協定校がある高等学校を事例に）

抄録

The purpose of this study is to explain the decision-making process of Japanese high school students who chose to study in Indonesia, and how their experiences in Indonesia affected and transformed them. Furthermore, it seeks to understand the characteristics of study abroad in Indonesia and to obtain suggestions for promoting study abroad in Southeast Asia, which is expected to become a new study abroad destination. Ten students who had studied abroad in Indonesia during their high school years were interviewed. Data were analyzed using a Modified Grounded Theory Approach. The process of deciding to study abroad was influenced by the students’ experiences and interactions while in Indonesia, input from a high school teacher who was familiar with Indonesian customs and culture, and the presence of a senior student who had studied abroad in Indonesia. Study abroad in Indonesia is found to provide good opportunities for students to develop a deeper understanding of and appreciation for diversity and promote tolerance for other cultures and beliefs. Currently, there are very few Japanese high school students studying abroad in Southeast Asian countries, but we conclude that Southeast Asian countries will become an important and popular destination for Japanese high school students.
