Research Abstract	1) We have practiced our plan on schedule on the whole for the last two years, as follows ; (1) We have collected preceeding studies and materials of school-based training of teachers. (2) We visited fifteen elementary and secondary schools, observed laboratory classes and study meetings of teachers, recorded them on a video tape, and interviewed the principals and teachers. (3) We analyzed comprehensively teacher training practices in their school, many factors in their school, and the school board, or the community by many kinds of materials. (4) We made a report on the results. 2) Main findings that we have gotten are given as under : (1) Every school analyzed has their individual organizational climate, and practices teacher training with a certain method. (2) Material conditions in school for in-service training are very poor. Therefore, teacher training tends to be standardized. (3) Schools do not obtain enough preceeding studies and reporting style of results of teacher training is fixed. (4) Administrative support is not adequate, but community support has much effect. (5) The effect of school-based teacher training in professional development of teachers is not given good attention compared with students' development. The important reasons are that teachers do not have valid techniques nor enough time to evaluate teachers' professional development. 3) We have many subjects and data to be analyzed and should continue long-term research of them.
