| Research Abstract |
(1) The purpose of this study is to clarify the present conditions and problems of teacher education as a total system, and it depends on our former study of teacher training education. The main topic of each years study is as follows. In the first and second years(1985,1986),we tried to find the general trends of in-service education in prefectures and cities; In the final year(1987),we invetigated the total process of teacher education and attempted to find possibilities for reform in the future.
(2) In the first two years, we gave out questionnares to students,teachers and staffs of local education authorities, particularly to supervisors. We can confirm that there is no common agreement between the various groups as to content, method of education at university or with regard to teacher training, selection procedure and in-service education. In addition, we find that those attitude of the teachers and opinions of staff as to evaluationg the current system,differ from teachers and students who are developed and are selected.
(3) A new law for certification of educational personnel have been launched and the opinion that a much more detailed procedure for selection is necessary hasbeen growing. Furthermore, training of newly recruited teachers in state schools has been provided while integrating a lot of in-service education.We feel that local education authorities realize that teacher education must have the continuity. However, Such new government and local education authorities policies are based on the serious competition and each education authority can select the better quality teachers according to the new official criteria. However, we doubt whether these policies foster the process of professional growth.
(4) In last year study, we examined the possibility of reforming of teacher education as a whole and presented a framework for the theory in teacher education.
