Case Report about Organizational Decision Making in School Education Settings 2 : Approach from Position of School Affair

本稿の目的は，学校現場における意思決定の場面でよりよい意思決定の方法の提案である。意思決定場面の事例は，琉球大学教職大学院選択科目「組織的意思決定マネジメント」で院生から出された事例である。事例に対して，ロベルト（2006）の文献の理論に沿った提案がなされ，本稿は会議への一参加者として効率的な意思決定に寄与できる可能性がある。しかし，本稿では３つの事例しか扱っていない。今後，もっと多くの事例を採りあげ，そこから共通したよりよい意思決定の方法を吟味し，学校現場における意思決定方法の提言までを図りたい

Educational and Practical Report of Case Studies on Mentoring in School Sites : Specific Suggestion of Mentoring in "Teacher Growth and Mentoring" as a Graduate School Class, and the Evaluation of the Class

本稿の目的は，琉球大学大学院教育学研究科専門職学位課程高度教職実践専攻（いわゆる「教職大学院」）の授業科目「教師の成長とメンタリング」で現職大学院生が作成したレポートを基にした学校現場で理想となるメンタリングの検討と，この授業自体の省察である。授業実践として， 5つの事例報告の共通点から理想のメンタリングを検討した。その結果，組織としてメンタリングに取り組むことと先輩や同僚によるメンタリングが理想の形として提示された。また，受講者による授業評価結果から，事例報告と対応検討を演習教材に位置づけた授業は，学校現場に即した課題の扱いは艮かったものの，その課題の難易度や担当教員からの学修過程の介入への強度が検討課題であると総括された

Pre-implementation awareness and recognition of the content and methods in the new national curriculum guidelines among primary and junior high school teachers in Okinawa Prefecture

First objective of this research is to identify the level of understanding of the new national curriculum guidelines among the teachers in primary and junior high schools in Okinawa Prefecture and collection of foundational data for the future teacher training by comparative verification of the state of recognition of the content and methods in the new national curriculum guidelines, with distinction to school type (primary or junior high school) and area (mainland Okinawa and outlying islands).Second objective is to examine how the difference of being in charge of extracurricular activities or not is affecting the recognition of the content and methods in the new national curriculum guidelines. Questionnaires has been collected from 793 primary and junior high school teachers from all around Okinawa Prefecture (with the response rate of 48.4％)According to the result of the analysis no difference between schools or areas has been observed in the awareness and recognition of the content and methods in the new national curriculum guidelines. However, with respect to the level of understanding of in-school training opportunities and special education, statistically significant gap has been detected between the primary schools and junior high schools. Furthermore, primary school teachers, who are in charge of extracurricular activities had high ratio of “true” answers in the following 2 questions: “I aim to enhance experimental activities” and “I try to organise the curriculum that put emphasis on cooperation with the local area”. Additionally, the level of understanding about inclusive education and reasonable accommodation with regard to special education was statistically significantly higher among teachers from outlying islands rather than those from mainland Okinawa. It is suspected that small size class on the outlying islands might be influential. The foundational data on the comprehension of the new national curriculum guidelines collected at this time, is to be examined comparatively with the outcome of similar survey, which is planned to be conducted after the full implementation of the new national curriculum guidelines
