JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between children's cognitive space, as well as activities and their development. The children of the Kasugai Primary School in Aichi Prefecture were studied by means of questionnaires and interviews.
The investigation revealed the following facts:
1. The sphere of activity of children in the third and fourth grade is within seven to eight kilometers if they take a tram and they like to explore unknown places. This sphere of activity is larger compared with the 300 meters sphere of activity of kindergarten children and the first or second grade pupils whose sphere of activity is only one kilometer.
2. In this case, the Nagoya Airport to the west of the school has prevented children's activities. However, the existence of bicycle paths and railroad (Komaki Line) has brought about children's activities.
3. Nevertheless, fifth or sixth grade pupils still make use of the many playing fields near their homes, for example, the beautiful parks, vacant lots, haunted houses and secret hideouts.
In conclusion, this study shows that the daily activies of children help in the development of their cognitive space.View full abstractDownload PDF (5144K) -
Case of the Traditional Industries in Mie PrefectureKeiko TSUCHIDA1987 Volume 35 Issue 2 Pages 21-33
Published: September 25, 1987
Released on J-STAGE: April 30, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Purpose of this paper is to clarify the existence of the spacial cognition of high school students and its regional difference. The author have tried to investigate the above-mentioned by using the traditional industries as a concrete indicator for measuring the students' cognition. The reason that the author chose the indicator is that the individual traditional industry in Mie Prefecture is evenly distributed, and it is considered that average high school students have the elementary knowledge about this situation.
2, 990 students (1, 476 boys and 1, 514 girls) of 7 high schools in Mie answered the questionnaire. The questions are (1) the cognition about the traditional industries, (2) the knowledge and interest in it, and (3) the daily behavioral area of high school students. In speculating their answers the author have tried to evaluate students ideas given in an uninhibited manner. This paper mainly deals with (2) and (3). The result of this investigation is as follows: The students recognized 7 industries as the traditional ones in Mie. Among them are pearl cultivation industry, earthenware industry, shigreni production industry, pickles production industry, towel production industry, dyeing industry, and kumihimo production industry. These 7 industries could be divided into two categories; (1) one in which the students know the name of the production area. (2) the other in which they do not.
Furthermore, the author have touched upon the relationship between the distance of those production areas and the students' behavioral area, and have come to the following conclusion; the students' spacial cognition spreads over three major districts (1) the coastal District of Ise Bay (2) Iga District (3) Eastern Kishu District. It is considered, as contributing factors to the formation of the students spacial cognition, that the distance from the production area to their houses has exercised influence on the cognition formation in case of Eastern Kishu. Equally it is safely said that the segregating elements caused by Nunobiki mountains and the function of satellite district of Osaka have had great influence on the spacial cognition in case of Iga District.View full abstractDownload PDF (1737K) -

Their “long” journeys begin by going to swimming pool, and gradually expand their destination to go shopping or museum, where satisfy their intellectual curiosity.
2) Pupils expand their knowledge of Tokyo and its surroundings through their journeys. The third grade pupils have knowledge about Kanto district and its adjacent areas. The geographical knowledge grows rapidly from the third to the sixth grade, and spread to all over Japan except Southern Kinki, San-in, and Shikoku districts. Some pupils accumulate their knowledge of transport facilities during this period.
3) Pupils are most interested in aeroplanes in all the transport facilities, but some shows their curiosity to railways. Generally-speaking, they have much impression outside of school, such as museums or journey to seaside-school. On the contrary, they easily forget what they have studied on school textbooks.View full abstractDownload PDF (1682K) -
