Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines the process of organization of “vocational guidance，”a kind of teacher’s certificate legislated by the Educational Personnel Certification Law, in order to receive suggestions for the way of career education and guidance in the schooling in Japan. The conclusion is as follows. “Vocational guidance” has been regarded as one of teachers’ certificates or equivalent license after the World War II. This legal status　is based on the educational ideals in democracy. However, “vocational guidance” has been taking the unique role as before the World War II. Because of the changes of the educational content and the students’ future courses after graduation, it has not functioned and has been overlooked. The current needs for career education and guidance require the professional abilities of teachers for “vocational teachers.”
