Popis: 本報告は、日本の地域紹介番組が実際に米国の大学で活用された際の評価調査の結果である。番組自体に対する反応は概ね好意的であり、具体的な学習結果や番組の改善点に関する記述も得た。一方、学習評価の結果からは、まず番組中の日本人のイメージについて、先行イメージに比較して親しみ深さは上昇したが有能さは下降した。後者の結果は、非現実的に高かった日本人の有能さの評価が下方修正されたものと考えられる。また、視聴後、文化領域での日本への関心や日米両国間の類似性感覚が増大した。さらに、パス解析を行ったところ、事前の日本人イメージの肯定度と類似性感覚の大きさが学習成果にプラスに影響することが示唆された。
An evaluative survey was held in the US regarding three video programs recently produced to facilitate understanding of the realities of ordinary Japanese life. The viewers evaluated these programs as having satisfactory educational qualities. In addition, the programs created significant learning effects on the viewers, who felt the Japanese were more understandable and easier to get along with, after seeing the films. But they also found the Japanese less intelligent, which may reflect a realistic modification of Americans' high regard of Japanese industriousness. Moreover, the films increased the viewers' cultural interest toward Japan, as well as their feelings of similarity between the two cultures. Path analysis suggested that positive images of the people and feelings of similarity contributed significantly in cross-cultural learning processes. Specific descriptions of learning outcome and suggestions for program improvement were also collected.
