ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the results of a questionnaire administered in 2011 to students in Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries under the joint study of Comparative Study on Education for ASEANness and Citizenship Education in 10 ASEAN Countries. The target countries in this survey were the ten members of ASEAN. Differences in the educational systems among ASEAN countries were considered in selecting the student participants in the survey. The Japanese version of the questionnaire was first developed, and then the questionnaire was translated to English for use in Singapore and the Philippines. The original Japanese version was likewise translated into other ASEAN languages, including Bahasa Malayu for Malaysia and Brunei, Khmer for Cambodia, Bahasa Indonesia, Laotian, Burmese for Myanmar, Thai, and Vietnamese languages. The Japanese researchers consulted with partner researchers from the target countries for appropriate translation of the questionnaire, especially for technical terms related to citizenship.
