  Understanding Japanese nursing students' learning beliefs and behaviors in nursing and English: Insights from interviews
■ 概要
  This study examines how Japanese female nursing students' mindset beliefs shape learning and effort regulation in both nursing and English, highlighting similarities and differences relevant to TESOL and international nursing education. Using a mixed-methods design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants, combining closed-ended and open-ended questions. Results indicated that participants largely attributed success in both domains to effort rather than innate ability. Thematic analysis emphasized consistent effort and communication skills, alongside clearer goals and stronger role models in nursing and occasional feelings of academic overload. The findings suggest the value of structured learning plans, mentoring systems, and emphasizing transferable soft skills to support interdisciplinary learning among nursing students.
