2021 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）AY2021 Research Progress (Please state clearly the research progress, results, approx. 400 words.)
We have written up a literature review paper for the submission to the Center for Inclusive Leadership.
This was published as a working paper entitled “Inclusive Leadership Education in a Multicultural
Educational Setting: A Review of Conceptual Models, Practices and Measurements.” This will be a basis
for our paper to be submitted to a journal.
We have made a substantial progress in quantitative analysis. After having the research assistant sort outand enter data in Excel sheets, we have conducted t-test and ANOVA to see students’ growth ininclusive leadership before and after our courses. More specifically, through paired t-test (pre and post)for each course for Japanese and International student group, we identified the significant improvement ofstudents’ inclusive leadership practices in all the courses. We have held a half-day on-line retreat toconduct these statistical tests.
Currently we are working on qualitative analysis. We have learned how to use MAXQDA, a qualitative data
analysis software, together. Through preliminary coding, we have come up the common codes and further
refined them as we coded more data.
We have presented our preliminary analysis at the AP conference in December with the presentation title:“Fostering the Inclusive Leadership of Students through Multicultural Groupwork” and received thevaluable feedback from the audience.
As for Kimura’s individual research project on his classes back in 2017 and 2018, he has finished both
qualitative and quantitative analyses and written up an article. He submitted it to the Journal ofInternational Students, but it was fortunately rejected by the journal.
On the other hand, he has presented his inclusive class practices with the presentation title: “Equalizingand Decolonizing the Relationship between Domestic and International Students in Multicultural GroupWork in International Development Course” at the Innovative Practices and Pedagogies for Teaching
Undergraduate International Development Studies Workshop in Tobias Center for Innovation in1

International Development of Indiana University in the US. And it was well received by the audience.

Research Plan for AY2022 (Please state clearly the research progress, results, approx. 400 words.)
We will continue our coding in qualitative analysis. Once our coding is done and common codes areestablished, we will abstract the common codes through categorization. Then, in line with the mixed
methods approach, we will compare the overall categories and themes emerged from and specificexamples of students’ inclusive practices identified by the qualitative analysis, with the quantitative
analytical results. After that, we will write up an article and submit it to the Journal of International
Students.
Meanwhile, we are planning to hold a workshop for APU faculty to disseminate useful findings in pedagogy,
as required by the grant’s guideline. We also plan to incorporate lessons from this research into ourpractices in our fall semester courses. If there is still some remaining funding available, we may implement
the second round of research by using our courses in the fall semester.
As for Kimura’s individual research, he will re-work on his article in the areas of literature review ongroup dynamics and qualitative analysis, which received critical feedback from an editor of the Journal ofInternational Students, and will submit it to another journal. He may possibly join the Critical Innovationsin Global Development Studies Pedagogy Book Project, which arose from the Innovative Practices andPedagogies for Teaching Undergraduate International Development Studies Workshop in Tobias Center forInnovation in International Development of Indiana University in the US. If he submits an abstract and it isaccepted by the editors, he may write a book chapter for the book project. He is considering to write achapter on decolonizing/equalizing the teacher-student relationship and relationship between domestic
and international students through innovative pedagogical practices.
It has been increasingly difficult to meet up with all the research members for this research. Our members
have been under enormous pressures of teaching, administrative work and their own research. We foreseethat this will continue to be our challenge in AY2022.

Note: It is hard to supply 400 word plan for the next AY. Unlike ‘progresses made,’ there are lessspecifics 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. I
brought up and wrote this issue in our last progress report, but it was not reflected in this year’s
reporting format.
