The present report has two parts : the part one deals with the present situation and problem of the improvement of school facilities during the period of decrease in the number of students in Japan, and the part two focuses on a school which adopts the departmentalized classroom system.The Japanese education policy has being changing since the submission of the report of the Council on Education. Similarly, the improvement of school facilities for elementary and junior high education has been changing. It is the diversion from quantitative improvement to qualitative one. The part one analyzes, based upon the three times questionnaire to the division for school facilities in municipal boards of education. It is one of the important fact findings that about 7 percent of elementary schools have open-plan classrooms.The part two is a case study on a public junior high school founded in 1999 in Akita. The school is designed for the departmentalized classroom system : students move classroom and take lessons every period. Although this is introduced to few junior high schools in Japan, is viewed as one of the models that promote the educational reform. The school building has 3 important architectural characteristics, 1) every classroom is designed for specific subject, 2) a open-space is located at central part of school building and used as school library, 3) the computer room called "media center" is designed as open-type.The main findings are as follows ; firstly both students and teachers like this school building, secondary the departmentalized classroom system is received affirmation by students in general, thirdly each reputation of the lesson is closely related with the enrichment of the classroom environment.

本报告有两个部分：第一部分涉及当前情况和在日本学生人数减少期间改善学校设施的问题，第二部分集中于采用部门化课堂系统的学校。日本教育政策自从理事会教育报告提交以来，日本教育政策一直在变化。同样，基础和初中教育的学校设施的改善也在发生变化。这是从定量改进到定性的转移。第一部分根据对市政教育委员会的学校设施的三次调查表进行了分析。这是重要的事实发现，大约7％的小学都有开放式教室。第二部分是对1999年在Akita成立的公立初中的案例研究。该学校是为部门化的课堂系统设计的：学生在每个时期内移动课堂并上课。尽管将其引入了日本的几年级中学，但仍被视为促进教育改革的模式之一。教学大楼具有3个重要的建筑特征，1）每个教室都是为特定主题设计的，2）开放空间位于学校建筑的中心，用作学校图书馆，3）称为“媒体中心”的计算机室被设计为开放式型。主要发现如下；首先，像这座教学大楼这样的学生和老师都被一般的学生所获得的次要教室系统肯定，第三课程的每个声誉都与课堂环境的丰富密切相关。
