| Research Abstract |
(1)This particular research limits itself to engineering high schools in Hokkaido and Tokyo and compares Japanese high schools with US high schools. Our focus is on clarifing what makes the survival and existence of enrgineering high schools possible.
(2)The assumptions are that the engineering high schools have to develop their networks with the communities' resources and expand the articulations to the higher education systems.
(3)The results are that Japanese engineering high schools have not so close collaboration- and partnership networks in their community areas and the school-university collaboration systems as in the USA. This is the reason why Japanese engineering high schools have no clear prospects in their school reforms.
(4) Compared with the agricultural high schools, the teachers of engineering high schools are usually out of touch with the real worlds. But they begin to notice that it is necessary for them to make contact with the world outside their schools. They would find many pointers in the US high school reforms such as School-to-Career Transition aud Internships learning methods.
