Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study,a questionnaire survey was conducted for high school principals and teachers naitionwide in 2015. Based on the comparison with the corresponding 2004 data, the following findings were obtained. First, as we have missed the opportunities to encounter diverse people and social realities during these periods, teachers have neglected the competence for constructing societies more and more. Secondly, both principles and teachers have decreaced thier autonomy, especially among middle-aged teachers. Thirdly, teachers are weakening the involvement with students. Finally. these trends have been influenced to some degree by teachers' busy work conditions. These changes in around a decade are the results of the penetration of <unitary operation model>, and so we are afraid of the vicious circle. According to　case　studies,　<pluratistic generation model> has the potential to provide important alternatives.
