The findings getting by this survey are as follow:
(1) teachers in Japan agree with the educational reform. Most of them are getting reflective about their practice by teacher evaluation system. Most of them require the supporting by another kinds of profession like a counselor and the volunteers, as so far as their hegemonies in their classroom are not disturb.
(2) Teachers, who agree with the educational reform, work harder than others. Therefore they are exhausted by hard work.
(3) These results different from the conditions in the U. K. reported by S. Ball.
