An empirical study on the effectiveness of comprehensive school in the case of Inagakuen Comprehansive Upper Secondary School.

我们从不同的角度对稻田综合高中进行了评价，它是日本唯一的一所大型综合学校。在回顾了学校的创建规划和目前的管理之后，我们审查了这所学校独特的特点所产生的影响，如多样化的选科制度，大规模的招生人数3300人，以及将一所大学校划分为几所小学校的校内计划。主要研究结果如下：1.学科课堂系统和大尺度建筑制约了教师的空间利用。2.大规模学校环境的匿名性和小规模环境的亲密性之间的平衡至关重要。3.选课与满意度的关系存在性别和课程差异。4.自我实现和玩世不恭是毕业生自我形象的组成部分。5.案例研究表明，学校生活指导和职业指导的重要性。6.根据对职业选择的比较调查，稻川市学生的升学愿望保持在相对较高的水平，而其他学校的学生则倾向于根据成绩高低分开。7.学校管理的财务分析显示，建筑和设备的投资费用略高，但标准的行政费用平均。8.信息处理的工作种类和工作量相当严重。需要加强系统和人员配备。

From different point of view we evaluated Inagakuen Comprehensive Upper Secondary School that was the only large-scale comprehensive school in Japan. After reviewing the creation planning and present administration of the school, we examined effects of the unique characteristics of this school such as the various subject selection system, the large-scale enrolling 3300 students, and the schools-within-a-school plan which divided a large school into several small schools. Main results were as follows.1.The subject classroom system and the large-scale architecture restrict teachers' space use.2.The balance between anonymnity of large-scale school settings and intimacy of small-scale settings is essential.3.Sex and course differences exist in the relation between subject selection and satisfaction.4.Self-realization and cynicism are components of the graduates' self image.5.Case studies show the importance of school life guidance as well as career guidance.6.According to a comparative survey of career choice, Inagakuen students' university entrance aspiration maintains relatively high level while other schools' students tend to separate high and low corresponding to their achievement.7.A financial analysis of school management shows that investment expenses for architecture and equipments are slightly high but standard administration expense is average.8.Variety and quantity of work for information processing are rather serious. Reinforcement of the system and staff taining are needed.
