Research Abstract |
It was verified that entrepreneurial activity was most suitable to realize aims of "period for integrated study" in a junior high school. It was checked, in late years, in Finland, Canada, U.K., and U.S.A., that entrepreneurial activities in a school became popular. Entrepreneurship education programs can be classified in four kinds by two axes whether national/global or local, and whether virtual or real. In addition, there are programs to practice all the processes from gaining an idea of goods and services, practicing production, selling, and counting. In the other hand there are programs to practice only the parts of the full process. By both programs, a student could bring up entrepreneurship of a little, but the former programs were more effective than the later. The entrepreneurial activities program for pupils that we developed ; "Let's make a company" was tested for two years in the Junior High School attached to the Mie University, Faculty of Education and the Hisai Junior High School, and was investigated in a questionnaire for the student who experienced it. The effectiveness of this program were verified as follows. 1.It is appropriate that giving business capital of 1000 yen per student, and it is also appropriate to make students of around 10 organizes a company. 2.It is very valuable to include activities of making things and selling them in an entrepreneurial program. 3."Let's make a company" is very effective for improvement of communication skill between students, development of a thought of problem solving, an increase of understanding of economic company and improvement of entrepreneurship of the students.
