Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the existing teacher training systems for the first five years of their career, and proposed professional development programs. Currently, in addition to the first-year official trainings, more local districts provide additional trainings in order to improve their teaching skills. Since new teachers tend to be deeply interested in improving their teaching skills, whitch meets young teachers’ needs. For the individual growth of the teacher, voluntary participation in the professional development programs is effective. However, in local areas, teachers sometimes have difficulty finding such program in the area. Therefore, local universities and the board of education should collaborate to organize professional development programs more broadly. In addition,regularly lesson study sessions within their own schools are considered effective. Many teachers reported that they considered it helpful to discuss about their practice after observing each other’s classrooms.
