Research Abstract

The author has researched into the "learning-through-experience" trip to National Hidaka Children's Center which was participated in by all the second graders at municipal junior high schools in Mito and Tomobe, Ibaraki Prefecture. The purpose of this paper is to consider the possibility of "school-community fusion" through this 5-day and 6-night trip during which the students spent two nights on a ship.
"School-community fusion" is the subject which the community has required the school to approach from the standpoint of school education. In order to accommodate the request, it is suggested that the school take advantage of projects such as "open school", off-school activities, "learning-through-experience", and comprehensive learning.
Educational facilities for the youth and schools have already been in cooperation with each other to practive the education in line with "school-community fusion". Although the concept is utterly new and much remains to be done before it brings about a substantial outcome, the author hopes that this analysis of the theoretical background of the "school-community fusion" has been successful in describing in detail the educational practices performed by the communities of Mito and Tomobe and also in clarifying what has been achived in attaining the goal of this new concept.
