WISE Chuo: A Career Education Program for Female Students Majoring in Science and Technology
Journal of Transdisciplinary Federation of Science and Technology, 2009
In cooperation with industries, our faculty is launching an education program designed to prompt more female students to go on to higher education and foster them as science and technology personnel who will be able to work for their company’s R&D division over the long term after graduation. That is what the WISE Chuo is all about. Through undergraduate and graduate educations, we will provide our female students with more opportunities for contacting their female role models who are currently playing an active role in business communities, to allow the students to feel R&D positions close to them and motivate them to choose such profession as their lifetime career. Even during their school days, we will also give them a place for acquiring knowledge and/or way of thinking necessary to work in the business world.

The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of SCAT (Steps for Coding and Theorization) and Ueno’s qualitative analysis as a form of qualitative data analysis applied to interview data from a kindergarten director. The subject and methods of the study are as follows. (1) We interviewed the director of Kindergarten A. (2) The research question asked why he started to run the child-based kindergarten. (3) We analyzed the interview data using SCAT. (4) We also analyzed the interview data using Ueno’s qualitative analysis. (5) We compared their characteristics. The analyses made the following points clear. First, the SCAT is characterized by the decontextualisation of the segmented text, step by step. By contrast, Ueno’s qualitative analysis is marked by its recontextualization through the mapping and charting of metadata. Second, when we use SCAT, we need to understand the theory of qualitative inquiry and must read the text over and over, analyzing it over time. Howeve...
