2020 年度 研究経過（研究経過・到達点を明確にご記入ください。800～1,000 字）AY2020 Research Progress (Please state clearly the research progress, results, approx. 400 words.)
In summer we have done initial literature review on inclusive leadership and other related topics such as
multicultural group work, on-line and hybrid teaching, cross-cultural competence, and diversity in theworkplace.
Tatsuya Hirai

Building on the literature review, we have developed a survey for students who would take our courses.
We then modified some of our course contents to foster the inclusive leadership of students.
In fall semester we implemented our courses. This entailed hiring additional TAs for two sample major
subject English-based courses to make the setting of the courses equivalent to sample MCWs. In thesample courses we administered three surveys to our students at the beginning, the mid-point and theend of the semester. In addition, we have conducted focus group interviews with Japanese-based
students from the two major subject English-based courses to see how they have participated in
multi-cultural group work. As for the TA’s growth as inclusive leaders, we have also developed a survey
to investigate that aspect. We have administered the survey to our TAs at the end of fall semester. So
this year, we have obtained enough data for our research.
During the spring break, we have tried to identify a appropriate journal for the submission of our research
paper. Currently, the Journal for Leadership Education appears to be the most likely candidate because ofthe theoretical congruence between the aim and focus of the journal and our research. Other possibilities
include: the International Journal of Inclusive Education, the International Journal of Leadership inEducation, the Journal of Studies in International Education, and the International Journal of InterculturalRelation.
We are currently writing up a literature review paper for the submission to the Center for InclusiveLeadership. This will be a basis for our paper to be submitted to a journal.
Other than this main part of the research project, I (Kimura) have asked Research Assistants to enter andtranscribe the data from my previous research on TAs’ roles in facilitating multicultural group work.
During my upcoming ADL in fall in 2021, I am planning to revisit this research to analyze the data and1

write up a paper for the submission to another journal.

2021 年度 研究計画（800～1,000 字）
Research Plan for AY2021 (Please state clearly the research progress, results, approx. 400 words.)
As mentioned, we will write up a literature review paper for the submission to the Center for Inclusive
Leadership by April. This piece will be a basis for our paper to be submitted to a journal.
After that we will start analyzing the data. Based on that, we will write a paper for the submission to ajournal.
We would like to present a paper in a conference along the way if possible. In addition, before the end of
AY2021, we plan to hold a workshop for APU faculty to disseminate useful findings in pedagogy, as
required by the grant’s guideline.
If there is still some remaining funding available, we would like to implement the second round of researchby using our courses in the fall semester in AY2021. If that is the case, we will improve the survey
instruments to better capture students’ and TAs’ growth as inclusive leaders.
As mentioned, other than this main part of the research project, during my upcoming ADL in fall I (Kimura)am planning to revisit my previous research on TAs’ roles in facilitating multicultural group work toanalyze the data and write up a paper for the submission to another journal.

Note: It is hard to supply 400 word plan for the next AY. Unlike ‘progresses made,’ there is not muchspecifics to write. We just have general ideas or directions, which would probably require half the amountof ‘progresses made.’ So I would suggest to modify this section to require only around 200 words.
