概要 This paper compares focus groups of returnee Japanese female study abroad students to determine their awareness in regards to workplace participation of women in Japan and America. After the focus groups spent time in a residential American language institute, primary data was collected on return to Japan. These focus groups were categorized as control and experimental groups, the control group consisted of the focus groups who took no study off campus during their American study abroad experience, whereas the experimental group investigates the effect of those focus groups who took content based, gender studies off campus. The control group was not exposed to this academic environment. The presenters demonstrated the research outcomes of the pilot study by the variations observed within the focus groups, which is linked to their return to Japanese university life and heightened awareness of Japan's job hunting culture.
