EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM & PRACTICE IN JAPAN

39	“V Classroom Management and Guidance”	Previous	Next	JAPANESE

	Under the home-room teacher system used in Japanese elementary schools, it is difficult to identify problems in classes from the outside such as individual students’ serious behavioral problems, problems within a group of students, and trouble between homeroom teachers and students. That is why such problems often tend to become serious. Teachers who assume a strong sense of responsibility tend to blame themselves for problems in their classes. By sharing problems from each class along with ideas on teaching at teachers’ guidance meetings, guidance provided to students will be improved.
