レジリエンス教育の読み物教材としての空襲体験談の利用可能性

抄録

Ther purpose of our study is to examine the availability of air-raid victim’s narratives to resilience education. First, we investigated resilience factor which is the ability to bounce back from adversity by using the victim’s narratives of air raid on 9 local cities in the Kanto region of Japan during World War II. The main results from the analysis on the narratives indicates that the reasons to bounce back from the adversity (sudden loss of life and/or property) are classified into five categories, “sense of purpose”, “empathy”, “inheritance of will”, “sense of well-being and security”, and “self-efficacy”. Next, we asked university and high-school students for feedback as to air-raid narratives. The results suggested that the air-raid narratives are available as reading material for resilience education.
