| Summary |
This survey was conducted on junior high school teachers in Japan to investigate the actual state of curriculum guidance in schools. The characteristics of this survey are as shown below. (1) Shows changes over time The survey has been planned for the purpose of longitudinal investigation, and survey items have been considered so that they can be used with every survey. (2) Allows broad appreciation of the actual state of curriculum guidance The survey looks beyond curriculum guidance, regular exams, assessment methods and other facts about teaching in schools and incorporates other survey items with a range of contents, such as teaching methods for study at home and teachers’ own time use/views of education, to grasp the actual state of curriculum guidance in a broad sense. (3) Carefully considers the selection of a survey sample The survey has been conducted by selecting sampled areas from six districts throughout Japan and then dividing them into three areas: prefectural capitals/other city areas/rural areas. Incidentally, the 2nd Basic Survey on Curriculum Guidance conducted on elementary school teachers (SSJDA survey number 0734) has survey items common with this survey and has been structured to enable comparisons of the realities of curriculum guidance between elementary and junior high schools. |
