The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift from in-person to online classes. However, the effectiveness of online classes for enhancing medical students' empathy has not been investigated sufficiently and the evidence is limited. This study compared the effectiveness of enhancing empathy between pre-pandemic in-person classes and during-pandemic online classes among medical students in Japan using pre-pandemic and during-pandemic data.
Methods This is a retrospective observational study. This study measured students' empathy using the Japanese translation of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Student Version (JSE-S) before and after the special programs for professional identity formation and clinical communication among first- and second-year students who matriculated from 2015-2021. This study categorized the matriculation year groups as "pre-pandemic" and "during-pandemic" groups for the first- and second-year students. This study estimated the adjusted mean score differences of the JSE-S and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from the pre- to post-program between the pre-pandemic and during-pandemic groups in the first and second years using linear regression analysis.
Results This study's participants included 653 first-year students and 562 second-year students. In the first year, the during-pandemic group had a significantly higher mean score difference from the pre- to post-program compared to the pre-pandemic group. The adjusted regression coefficient (95% CI) was 7.6 (5.7 - 9.5), with the pre-pandemic group as the reference. In the second year, there were no significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusions The results suggest that online classes are not inferior to in-person classes or even slightly better in enhancing medical students' empathy, which should be clarified by further studies. This study's findings have important implications for medical education and implementing hybrid class formats to enhance students' empathy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaHitomi en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Hitomi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TokinobuAkiko en-aut-sei=Tokinobu en-aut-mei=Akiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiChikako en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Chikako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeMayu en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ObikaMikako en-aut-sei=Obika en-aut-mei=Mikako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Kidney, Diabetes and Endocrine Diseases, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of General Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=COVID-19 pandemic kn-keyword=COVID-19 pandemic en-keyword=Empathy kn-keyword=Empathy en-keyword=Jefferson Scale of Empathy kn-keyword=Jefferson Scale of Empathy en-keyword=Medical students kn-keyword=Medical students en-keyword=Online class kn-keyword=Online class END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=46 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=180 end-page=186 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Exploration of urine metabolic biomarkers for new-onset, untreated pediatric epilepsy: A gas and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based metabolomics study en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Objective: The discovery of objective indicators for recent epileptic seizures will help confirm the diagnosis of epilepsy and evaluate therapeutic effects. Past studies had shortcomings such as the inclusion of patients under treatment and those with various etiologies that could confound the analysis results significantly. We aimed to minimize such confounding effects and to explore the small molecule biomarkers associated with the recent occurrence of epileptic seizures using urine metabolomics.
Methods: This is a multicenter prospective study. Subjects included pediatric patients aged 2 to 12 years old with new-onset, untreated epilepsy, who had had the last seizure within 1 month before urine collection. Controls included healthy children aged 2 to 12 years old. Those with underlying or chronic diseases, acute illnesses, or recent administration of medications or supplements were excluded. Targeted metabolome analysis of spot urine samples was conducted using gas chromatography (GC)- and liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
Results: We enrolled 17 patients and 21 controls. Among 172 metabolites measured by GC/MS/MS and 41 metabolites measured by LC/MS/MS, only taurine was consistently reduced in the epilepsy group. This finding was subsequently confirmed by the absolute quantification of amino acids. No other metabolites were consistently altered between the two groups.
Conclusions: Urine metabolome analysis, which covers a larger number of metabolites than conventional biochemistry analyses, found no consistently altered small molecule metabolites except for reduced taurine in epilepsy patients compared to healthy controls. Further studies with larger samples, subjects with different ages, expanded target metabolites, and the investigation of plasma samples are required. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=AkiyamaTomoyuki en-aut-sei=Akiyama en-aut-mei=Tomoyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SaigusaDaisuke en-aut-sei=Saigusa en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=InoueTakushi en-aut-sei=Inoue en-aut-mei=Takushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TokorodaniChiho en-aut-sei=Tokorodani en-aut-mei=Chiho kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkiyamaMari en-aut-sei=Akiyama en-aut-mei=Mari kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MichiueRie en-aut-sei=Michiue en-aut-mei=Rie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriAtsushi en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HishinumaEiji en-aut-sei=Hishinuma en-aut-mei=Eiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsukawaNaomi en-aut-sei=Matsukawa en-aut-mei=Naomi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataTakashi en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsuchiyaHiroki en-aut-sei=Tsuchiya en-aut-mei=Hiroki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKatsuhiro en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Katsuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Laboratory of Biomedical and Analytical Sciences, Faculty of Pharma-Science, Teikyo University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Pediatric Neurology, NHO Okayama Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Neurology, Shiga Medical Center for Children kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics (Child Neurology), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=Amino acids kn-keyword=Amino acids en-keyword=Gas chromatography kn-keyword=Gas chromatography en-keyword=Liquid chromatography kn-keyword=Liquid chromatography en-keyword=Mass spectrometry kn-keyword=Mass spectrometry en-keyword=New-onset epilepsy kn-keyword=New-onset epilepsy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=40 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=232 end-page=243 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=202206 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Study of the Experiences of Sexual Minorities in Sex Education at School kn-title=学校での性教育において性的マイノリティが得る経験に関する研究―異性愛主義と性的マイノリティの不在性の視点から― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=The study aimed to clarify the experiences of sexual minorities concerning sex education at school, scrutinize how the assumption that everyone is heterosexual affects sexual minorities, and examine the challenges faced by heterosexual-based sex education. Based on the interview survey of nine sexual minority parties, their experiences were organized into seven types: “receiving sex education based on heterosexuality,” “skepticism and criticism of heterosexism,” “acceptance and following of heterosexism,” “facing unintended coming-out,” “vague image of oneself in the future,” “awareness of belonging to a minority” and “learning about sexual minorities.” It was suggested that sexual minorities face tremendous difficulties where they have to deal with the various difficulties that arise when they receive sex education through trial and error, gather information necessary for themselves as sexual minorities in places and through opportunities other than school education, and learn about sex by self-study. The realization of inclusive sex education that takes the existence of learners of various sexualities into account is warranted. kn-abstract=本研究は,学校での性教育において性的マイノリティが得る経験を明らかにし,異性愛を前提とした性教育が性的マイノリティにもたらす影響と抱える課題の2つについて検討することを目的とした。性的マイノリティ9名を対象にしたインタビュー調査の結果,経験は「異性愛を前提にした性教育を受ける」「異性愛が前提であることへの疑問や批判をもつ」「異性愛が前提であることを受け入れる」「意図せぬカミングアウトを迫られる」「将来の自分の姿が想像つかない」「周囲とは違う存在であることを自覚する」「性的マイノリティについて学ぶ」の7つに整理された。性的マイノリティは,性教育で直面するさまざまな困難に試行錯誤のもと対処しながら学校教育以外の場や機会で自分に必要な情報を集め,自主学習の形で性の学習を行うという厳しい状況に置かれることが示唆された。様々なセクシュアリティの学習者の存在を想定した性教育の実現が求められる。 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WADAMarie en-aut-sei=WADA en-aut-mei=Marie kn-aut-name=和田真理絵 kn-aut-sei=和田 kn-aut-mei=真理絵 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ITOTakehiko en-aut-sei=ITO en-aut-mei=Takehiko kn-aut-name=伊藤武彦 kn-aut-sei=伊藤 kn-aut-mei=武彦 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Education (Master’s Course), Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 修士課程 affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Education, Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 en-keyword=School-based Sexuality education kn-keyword=School-based Sexuality education en-keyword=Sexual minority kn-keyword=Sexual minority en-keyword=Heterosexism kn-keyword=Heterosexism END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=221 end-page=231 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230330 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Guaranteeing the Right to Attend Higher Education of students with disabilities: An Analysis of Rejected Cases by High Schools that Have a Shortage of Applicants. kn-title=障害のある生徒の高等教育を受ける権利の保障 ―定員内不合格の現状と改善課題― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=Access to higher education is a fundamental human right of students with disabilities.

More and more studies investigate medical students' empathy using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE). However, no norm data or cutoff scores of the JSE for Japanese medical students are available. This study therefore explored Japanese norm data and tentative cutoff scores for the Japanese translation of the JSE-medical student version (JSE-S) using 11 years of data obtained from matriculants from a medical school in Japan.

Methods
Participants were 1,216 students (836 men and 380 women) who matriculated at a medical school in Japan from 2011 to 2021. The JSE-S questionnaire was administered to participants prior to the start of the program. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics and statistical tests were performed to show the norm data and tentative cutoff scores for male and female students separately.

Results
The score distributions of the JSE-S were moderately skewed and leptokurtic for the entire sample, with indices -0.75 and 4.78, respectively. The mean score (standard deviation) for all participants was 110.8 (11.8). Women had a significantly higher mean score (112.6) than men (110.0; p < 0.01). The effect size estimate of gender difference was 0.22, indicating a small effect size. The low and high cutoff scores for men were <= 91 and >= 126, respectively, and the corresponding scores for women were <= 97 and >= 128, respectively.

Conclusions
This study provides JSE-S norm data and tentative cutoff scores for Japanese medical school matriculants, which would be helpful in identifying those who may need further training to enhance their empathy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaHitomi U. en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Hitomi U. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TokinobuAkiko en-aut-sei=Tokinobu en-aut-mei=Akiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiChikako en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Chikako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeMayu en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ObikaMikako en-aut-sei=Obika en-aut-mei=Mikako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil= Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Kidney, Diabetes and Endocrine Diseases, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of General Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Jefferson Scale of Empathy kn-keyword=Jefferson Scale of Empathy en-keyword=Norm data kn-keyword=Norm data en-keyword=Cutoff scores kn-keyword=Cutoff scores en-keyword=Medical students kn-keyword=Medical students en-keyword=Empathy kn-keyword=Empathy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=39 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=1423 end-page=1442 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20221216 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Judicial barriers to inclusive education as a human right: An analysis of relevant legal cases in Japan en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Article 24 of the CRPD guarantees inclusive education as a fundamental human right. In Japan, the education policy has shifted from a segregated education to an inclusive one with the ratification of the CRPD. However, recent lawsuits on children with disabilities and their school placement/attendance reveal such policy changes are not reflected in practice. In this article, we reviewed notable court cases in Japan to investigate how Japanese courts interpreted the reform of the legal system. We divide the article into two parts: Firstly, we describe the history of Japanese education reform. Secondly, we discuss the court cases with regard to Japanese education system reform and the schooling of children with disabilities over three time periods. Our findings show that the court continues to make judicial decisions based on the old notion of segregated education and fails to recognize or even understand that inclusive education is a fundamental human right. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YoshitoshiMunehisa en-aut-sei=Yoshitoshi en-aut-mei=Munehisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HoriguchiGoro en-aut-sei=Horiguchi en-aut-mei=Goro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahashiKiriko en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Kiriko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Faculty of Education, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Faculty of Law, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaʻi at Mānoa kn-affil= en-keyword=Human rights kn-keyword=Human rights en-keyword=inclusive education kn-keyword=inclusive education en-keyword=court litigation kn-keyword=court litigation en-keyword=reasonable accommodation kn-keyword=reasonable accommodation en-keyword=symbiotic society kn-keyword=symbiotic society END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=180 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=27 end-page=37 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220826 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Perceived Efficacy and Anxiety of Teachers in Japan toward Supporting Students with Chronic Illness in Mainstream School en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The objective of this study was to examine mainstream school teachers’ anxiety and selfefficacy to teaching students with chronic illness. A survey was completed by 59 elementary and 44 junior high school teachers in Japan. Results indicated that the majority of teacher respondents perceived themselves as inadequate to teach students with chronic illness due to lack of practical knowledge and experience. A high proportion of respondents indicated that they had no academic training (62.1%) and no teaching experience (72.8%) for supporting students with chronic illness. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between selfefficacy, anxiety level and academic training or teaching experience for supporting students with chronic illness. That is, teachers with practical experience teaching students with chronic illness in the classroom and teachers with more academic training in inclusive approaches demonstrated higher efficacy and lower anxiety than teachers without these experiences or with less training in inclusive teaching approaches. All teachers must be equipped with the extensive knowledge of how best to assist students with chronic illness. Additional efforts are needed to adequately support students with chronic illness in the regular education classroom. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YoshitoshiMunehisa en-aut-sei=Yoshitoshi en-aut-mei=Munehisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsushimaYasuko en-aut-sei=Tsushima en-aut-mei=Yasuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MurakamiRie en-aut-sei=Murakami en-aut-mei=Rie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahashiKiriko en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Kiriko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Division of Developmental Studies and Support, Graduate School of Education, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Faculty of Education, Shujitsu University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Hiroshima University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=165 end-page=180 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220330 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=小学校英語教科書の分析: 異文化理解のための反抑圧的視点 kn-title=Analyzing textbooks for elementary English education: An anti-oppressive perspective for intercultural understanding en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=本稿は、学習指導要領によって小学校外国語(英語)の授業に異文化理解あるいは国際理解を取り入れることを求められた日本の教師のニーズに応えるものである。「尊重」というレンズを通して多様性についての学習に焦点を当てることは、異文化理解や国際理解に不可欠であるが、「他者」について学ぶことに焦点を当てると、「私たち」対「彼ら」という誤った二元論を生み出し、教科書やコンテンツの普及によって「他者」は単純化し理解することができると仮定されることになってしまう。そうではなく、本稿で提唱するのは、異文化理解のための反抑圧的アプローチである。まず理論的枠組みを説明し、次に様々なテーマ(ジェンダー、性的指向、人種・民族など)を通して教科書を分析する方法を教師に示す。本稿は、小学校の教科書や教材における支配的アイデンティティと少数派アイデンティティの包摂と排除を明らかにすることの重要性について説明し、ステレオタイプや偏見の再生産を防ぐことを目的とするものである。 kn-abstract=This paper responds to the needs of teachers in Japan who are required to incorporate intercultural understanding in their foreign language classes. While the focus on learning about diversity with respect is crucial for intercultural understanding, the focus on learning about the ‘other’ reproduces a false binary of ‘us’ versus ‘them’, where it is assumed that the ‘other’ is significantly different from ‘us’ and can be simplified and understood through textbooks and content dissemination. Alternatively, I offer an anti-oppressive approach to analyzing textbooks for intercultural understanding by first explaining a framework and then by showing teachers how to analyze the textbook through various themes (i.e., gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, etc.). This paper will explain the importance of uncovering inclusion and exclusion of dominant and minoritized identities in elementary textbooks and materials, to prevent the reproduction of stereotypes and prejudices. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Shawna M.

In order to attain inclusive education, it has positioned Children Learning in Regular Classrooms (LRC) as part of the special needs education system. With the implementation of LRC, the educational problems of students with disabilities have been gradually improved. It is necessary to conduct research on how the system should be based on the actual situation of LRC. However, there is a paucity of literature that clarifies the implementation status of it. The purpose of this study is to understand the implementation status of LRC in special needs education, and to clarify the issues in the implementation of inclusive education. The results of the study showed that the number of students in special needs education who were involved in LRC was larger than the number of students enrolled in special needs schools and special support class. It was also found that the number of teachers in special needs schools and the number of teachers participating in teacher training have been increasing year by year, but the Ministry of Education of the China does not publish data on teachers who conduct LRC, hence it was impossible to determine the current status of it. There are some problems in implementing LRC , and this i s a question that should be considered. kn-abstract=中国は,2008年に国連「障害者権利条約」を批准し,インクルーシブ教育の実現に向けた教育形態として随班就読を導入している。随班就読の展開により,障害のある児童生徒の就学問題に新たな変化がみられるはずであるが,その実態に関する継続的な分析は十分とはいえない。そこで,本研究は随伴就読の導入経緯と実施状況に関する動向を分析することにより,その運用に関する今日的課題を明らかにすることを目的とした。その結果,随班就読の対象者は顕著な増加傾向を示していた。しかし,随伴就読の担当教員に関するデータは公表されておらず,その実態を早急に把握することも課題である。特殊学校教員における人数や特殊教育専攻者数は着実な増加傾向がみられるものの,随班就読の担当教員の専門性の確立が求められている。また,随班就読の対象の拡大や基準の見直しも議論されており,さらなる教育環境の整備にも取り組まなければならないことを指摘した。 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ChenYiwen en-aut-sei=Chen en-aut-mei=Yiwen kn-aut-name=陳依文 kn-aut-sei=陳 kn-aut-mei=依文 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WeiZiyu en-aut-sei=Wei en-aut-mei=Ziyu kn-aut-name=魏梓羽 kn-aut-sei=魏 kn-aut-mei=梓羽 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshitoshiMunehisa en-aut-sei=Yoshitoshi en-aut-mei=Munehisa kn-aut-name=吉利宗久 kn-aut-sei=吉利 kn-aut-mei=宗久 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Student at the Graduate School of Education, Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil=Student at the Graduate School of Education, Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School of Education, Okayama University kn-affil=岡山大学学術研究院教育学域 en-keyword=中華人民共和国(China) kn-keyword=中華人民共和国(China) en-keyword=特殊教育(Special needs education) kn-keyword=特殊教育(Special needs education) en-keyword=随班就読(Learning in Regular Classrooms) kn-keyword=随班就読(Learning in Regular Classrooms) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=21 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=316 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=20210604 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The effect of Humanitude care methodology on improving empathy: a six-year longitudinal study of medical students in Japan en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background
Empathy, which involves understanding another person's experiences and concerns, is an important component for developing physicians' overall competence. This longitudinal study was designed to test the hypothesis that medical students' empathy can be enhanced and sustained by Humanitude Care Methodology, which focuses on perception, emotion and speech.

Methods
This six-year longitudinal observational study examined 115 students who entered Okayama University Medical School in 2013. The study participants were exposed to two empathy-enhancing programs: (1) a communication skills training program (involving medical interviews) and (2) a Humanitude training program aimed at enhancing their empathy. They completed the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) seven times: when they entered medical school, before participation in the first program (medical interview), immediately after the first program, before the second program (Humanitude exercise), immediately after the second program, and in the 5th and 6th year (last year) of medical school. A total of 79 students (69% of the cohort) completed all seven test administrations of the JSE.

Results
The mean JSE scores improved significantly after participation in the medical interview program (p<0.01) and the Humanitude training program (p=0.001). However, neither program showed a sustained effect.

Conclusions
The Humanitude training program as well as medical interview training program, had significant short-term positive effects for improving empathy among medical students. Additional reinforcements may be necessary for a long-term sustained effect. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=FukuyasuYusuke en-aut-sei=Fukuyasu en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaHitomi U. en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Hitomi U. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HondaMiwako en-aut-sei=Honda en-aut-mei=Miwako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwaseToshihide en-aut-sei=Iwase en-aut-mei=Toshihide kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=OgawaHiroko en-aut-sei=Ogawa en-aut-mei=Hiroko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoMasaru en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeMayu en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiChikako en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Chikako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaJun en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=DeSantisJennifer en-aut-sei=DeSantis en-aut-mei=Jennifer kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=HojatMohammadreza en-aut-sei=Hojat en-aut-mei=Mohammadreza kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=GonnellaJoseph S. en-aut-sei=Gonnella en-aut-mei=Joseph S. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Okayama University Hospital Center for Diversity and Inclusion kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Geriatric Research Division, National Hospital Organization Tokyo Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Primary Care and Medical Education, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Primary Care and Medical Education, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Primary Care and Medical Education, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Okayama University Hospital Center for Diversity and Inclusion kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Asano-Gonnella Center for Research in Medical Education and Health Care, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Asano-Gonnella Center for Research in Medical Education and Health Care, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Asano-Gonnella Center for Research in Medical Education and Health Care, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University kn-affil= en-keyword=Empathy kn-keyword=Empathy en-keyword=Humanitude kn-keyword=Humanitude en-keyword=Medical education kn-keyword=Medical education END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=11 article-no= start-page=1257 end-page=1271 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=20210220 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A critical analysis of court decision on mainstream school attendance of a child with medical care needs in Japan: a long way towards inclusive education en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This paper begins by providing a history of Japanese law pertaining to special education and its change towards a more inclusive education with the ratification of United Nations Conventions of the Rights of People with Disabilities. With the changes in laws, more children with constant medical care needs in Japan have the opportunity to attend mainstream schools. The recent court case, Kosuge v. Kanagawa prefecture and Kawasaki city, ruled against a child with medical care needs to attend mainstream school and made the judgment that a special needs school (tokubetsushien gakkō) is the appropriate placement for the child based on the child’s disability type and degree of disability rather than needs and regardless of the wishes of the child’s parents. This paper explores the case judgement and discusses where Japanese special education laws fall short similar to that of the US system based on Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. We suggest the need to keep inclusion as the basic human rights aligned with the Article 24 of the UNCRPD rather than focusing on the continuum of education principle in IDEA, and operationalise the law into practice to make integration of children with disabilities, including children with constant medical care needs, into mainstream education schools. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YoshitoshiMunehisa en-aut-sei=Yoshitoshi en-aut-mei=Munehisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahashiKiriko en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Kiriko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Faculty of Education, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa kn-affil= en-keyword=Inclusive education kn-keyword=Inclusive education en-keyword=medical care kn-keyword=medical care en-keyword=reasonable accommodation kn-keyword=reasonable accommodation en-keyword=court decision kn-keyword=court decision en-keyword=school placement kn-keyword=school placement END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=35 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=414 end-page=422 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=202004 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Prevalence of dementia in people with intellectual disabilities: Cross‐sectional study en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background There are only a few studies of the prevalence of dementia in people with intellectual disability (ID) without Down syndrome (DS), and there is a large difference in the prevalences between reported studies. Moreover, the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in ID has not been reported. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dementia in adults of all ages and the prevalence of MCI in people with ID. Furthermore, we tried to clarify the differences depending on the various diagnostic criteria. Methods The survey included 493 adults with ID at 28 facilities in Japan. The caregivers answered a questionnaire, and physicians directly examined the participants who were suspected of cognitive decline. Dementia and MCI were diagnosed according to ICD‐10, DC‐LD, and DSM‐5 criteria. Results The prevalence of dementia was 0.8% for the 45 to 54 years old group, 3.5% for the 55 to 64 years old group, and 13.9% for the 65 to 74 years old group in people with ID without DS. The prevalence of MCI was 3.1% for patients 45 to 54, 3.5% for patients 55 to 64, and 2.8% for patients 65 to 74 with ID without DS. DSM‐5 was the most inclusive in diagnosing dementia and MCI in people with ID. Conclusions People with ID without DS may develop dementia and MCI at an earlier age and higher rate than the general population. Among the diagnostic criteria, DSM‐5 was the most useful for diagnosing their cognitive impairment. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakenoshitaShintaro en-aut-sei=Takenoshita en-aut-mei=Shintaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TeradaSeishi en-aut-sei=Terada en-aut-mei=Seishi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuwanoRyozo en-aut-sei=Kuwano en-aut-mei=Ryozo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=InoueTomokazu en-aut-sei=Inoue en-aut-mei=Tomokazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=CyojuAtsushi en-aut-sei=Cyoju en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuemitsuShigeru en-aut-sei=Suemitsu en-aut-mei=Shigeru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamadaNorihito en-aut-sei=Yamada en-aut-mei=Norihito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Neuropsychiatry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Asahigawaso Research Institute, Asahigawa Medical Welfare Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Asahigawaso Research Institute, Asahigawa Medical Welfare Center kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Asahigawaso Research Institute, Asahigawa Medical Welfare Center kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Asahigawaso Research Institute, Asahigawa Medical Welfare Center kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Neuropsychiatry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=dementia kn-keyword=dementia en-keyword=intellectual disability kn-keyword=intellectual disability en-keyword=mental retardation kn-keyword=mental retardation en-keyword=mild cognitive impairment kn-keyword=mild cognitive impairment en-keyword=prevalence of dementia kn-keyword=prevalence of dementia END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=8 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=207 end-page=212 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2018 dt-pub=20180320 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A Review of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Endrew F. v.
