本実践研究は、ボランティア等の社会貢献活動への参加に社会学的なフィールドワークの方法論を取り入れたサービス・ラーニング教育として、文化的差異と貧困・階層問題の「交差性」のあり方を大学生が支援現場での経験を通じて学び、深く理解するための教育機会を提供した。研究代表者の授業を履修した大学生は以下のNPO 等が実施する、外国ルーツや貧困等の背景をもつ子ども・若者への支援活動にボランティアとして参加した（2022年4月～2023年2月：週１回から隔週1回ペース）。

①社会福祉法人青丘社が運営する、生活保護受給家庭や外国にルーツをもつ家庭の小中学生向け学習支援教室や放課後学童教室。
②研究代表者が横浜市鶴見国際交流ラウンジと協働して運営する、外国にルーツをもつ中学生・高校生・大学生への学習支援および外国につながる若者の地域社会での居場所づくり活動（「つるみ夜教室」）。
③NPO 法人ME-net が県立川崎高校構内で実施する、外国にルーツをもつ高校生への日本語・学習支援教室。

大学生はそれぞれの活動に主体的・継続的に関わりながら、現場で起きている日々の現実と経験をフィールドノートに記録した。それを授業内での発表・討論によって省察し、課題文献から得た知識を通じて再解釈した。そしてグループ学習によって学生はお互いの経験と知見を総合し、報告書、プレゼンテーション、記録映像といった成果物にまとめた。成果物の一部はインターネットで公開される予定である。

こうした活動を通じて、大学生が社会学の学問的知識を習得し、それを現場の人々との対話のなかで深化させていく過程を観察できた。それによりサービス・ラーニング教育におけるフィールドワークの手法の活用の好事例を提供するとともに、大学の地域連携のひとつのモデルを提示することができた。
This practical research project provided an educational opportunity for university students to learn and deeply understand the "intersectionality" of cultural differences and poverty and class issues through their experiences at support sites, as a service-learning education incorporating sociological fieldwork methodologies into participation in social contribution activities such as volunteer activities. University students who took classes taught by the principal investigator participated as volunteers in support activities for children and youth with foreign roots and backgrounds such as poverty, conducted by the following NPOs and others (April 2022-February 2023: once a week to once every other week).

(1) Learning support classes and after-school classes for elementary and junior high school students from families receiving public assistance and families with foreign roots, operated by the social welfare corporation Seikyu-sha.
(2) Activities to provide learning support for junior high school, high school, and university students with foreign roots and to create a place in the local community for young people with ties to foreign countries ("Tsurumi Yoru Kyositsu"), which the principal investigator operates in collaboration with Tsurumi International Lounge in Yokohama City.
(3) Japanese language and study support classes for high school students with foreign roots, conducted by the NPO ME-net on the campus of Kawasaki Prefectural High School.

The university students were actively and continuously involved in each of these activities and recorded their daily realities and experiences in field notebooks. They reflected on these through in-class presentations and discussions, and reinterpreted them through knowledge gained from the literature on the subject. Through group study, students synthesized their experiences and findings into written reports, presentations, and video recordings. Some of the deliverables will be made publicly available on the Internet.

Through these activities, the principal investigator was able to observe the process of university students acquiring academic knowledge of sociology and deepening it through dialogue with people in the field. This provided a good example of the use of fieldwork methods in service-learning education, and also presented a model for university-regional collaboration.
