II.4.21 Acquisition of Zyo~yo~ Kanzi by School Children
(Report 95, 1988. 392 pages)
This book reports on a study of the reading and writing of
Chinese characters by school children which aimed to review
the assignment of characters at the various levels of
education. The study was conducted in Tokyo, Akita
Prefecture, and Nara Prefecture and had the following
features.
1. This study investigated the acquisition rate for each
Chinese character included in the ZYOYO KANZI.
2. For each Chinese character, which was designated for
acquisition in elementary school, we surveyed children in school
years from 5 years preceding to 5 years after the school year
designated for acquisition of the respective character.
3. We also surveyed how many of the 1,945 ZYOYO KANZI each
school child had acquired.
This book contains data/statistical tables for the results
obtained in the above surveys, a table of the school
children's responses, and the results of the analysis of
these data. The results of preliminary surveys which were
conducted in preparation for the present study and the
actual procedures used in these preliminary and the present
studies are explained in detail.
With this survey we were able to determine the acquisition
rate for each Chinese character and the approximate number of
characters acquired by the children.
MURAISI Syo~zo~, OKUBO Ai, SIMAMURA Naomi, and MORO
Yu~zi directed this research. The report was written by MURAISI
Syo~zo~ and SIMAMURA Naomi.
