近年、日本語教師のキャリア形成について徐々に研究が進められてきてはいるが、職務以外の人生も含めて総体的に、かつ、長い期間を対象に見た研究はあまりなく、そのような意味において、日本語教師のキャリア形成の実態は未だ詳しくは分かっていないと言える。本稿では、28年の日本語教師歴を持ち、現在国内の大学において日本語教育プログラムの管理・運営を担う協力者A、 1 名を対象とし、複線経路等至性アプローチを用いて①日本語教師としてのキャリア形成のプロセス、②キャリアの選択に影響する要因を明らかにした。結果として、「経済的な基盤を確保しつつ、海外に関われる日本語教師という仕事をキャリアアップしながら続けたい」という信念・価値観のもと、キャリアの選択を重ね、現在の働き方に至っていることが明らかになった。また、その選択にあたっては、自分では変えることが難しい、あるいは意図して得ることができない「外的要因」と、協力者A自身の内面に関わる「内的要因」が影響していることがわかった。In recent years, research on the career development of Japanese language teachers has been gradually conducted. However, few studies have explored the career development of Japanese language teachers holistically and over a long period while also including their lives outside of work. In this paper, we elucidated the career development process of a Japanese language teacher and its influencing factors using the Trajectory Equifinality Approach. The teacher, designated Participant A, has been teaching Japanese for 28 years and is currently in charge of the administration and management of a Japanese language education program at a university in Japan. The results of theanalysis indicated that Participant A had made several career choices based on her beliefs and values of “I want to continue my work as a Japanese language teacher, which allows me to build relationships with other countries while improving my career and ensuring financial stability”; these choices have led her to her current working style. In addition, we found that Participant A’s choices were also influenced by “external factors” that are difficult to change or cannot be acquired intentionally, as well as by “internal factors” that are related to her own intrinsic characteristics. |
