| Research Abstract |
All about Teacher Education are compared between the United States and Japan. In Japan universities are responsible for Pre-service Education, but nothing to do for the Inservice Education of Teachers. 3 new universities, Hyogo, Joetsu and Naruto are the first to begin Inservice Teacher Education in graduate level (Master Course) in Japan. Masters well occupy 1% of total Japanese teachers within 20 years. In the U.S. more than half of teachers acquire Masters Degree.
Characteristics of Japanese Teacher Training are seen in the training in own school (Konai Kenshu), where young teachers are "captured" by senior teachers and trained very hard in teachers concept, subject instruction, classroom management, and so on by man-to-man system. On the other hand, Reflective teachers are an important concept in the U.S. ; it means a young teacher should train himself in graduate school to be an independent teacher. Therefore in comparison of quality of teachers, Japanese younger teachers are higher qualified than the U.S., because they are good at strategies of instruction in class room already in young stages. On the other hand, senior teachers are higher qualified in the U.S. than in Japan. Universities play important roles in the insevice education in the U.S., but less in Japan. As an outcome of our project, we propose to establish a cooperative system of Life-long continuing inservice education of teachers between universities and educational boards in Japan.
