Basic Survey concerning the Proposal to Introduce a Sewing Machine Rental System for School Use

本研究的目的是为了获得基础数据，以推进缝纫机租赁制度，改善缝纫学习环境。首先，以东京都公立初中和东京都立高中的家政学教师为对象，进行了问卷调查。目的是掌握“学校拥有缝纫机的现状”、“学生学习缝纫的状况和教师指导的负担”、“教师对缝纫机租赁制度的意见和要求”等;并研究推行这套租务制度的可行性及所涉及的问题。另一项调查是针对缝纫机经销商和教材销售公司进行的关于学校使用缝纫机租赁情况的调查。根据问卷调查，学校拥有缝纫机的情况并不像怀疑的那样糟糕，但缝纫机的数量却增加了。 ...更多信息 师资力量不足，教师也不满意。据了解，租赁制度预计会产生各种影响，教师最关心的是对使用机器期间造成的损害进行赔偿的问题。关于租赁制度的实施，提出了以下要求：“明确如何处理损害赔偿”;“对租赁期间的机械故障和维修迅速作出反应”;“在机型，租赁期限，租赁数量等方面采取灵活措施”和“适当的租赁收费制度，“关于经销商的情况，据证实，两家公司已经在东京实施这种系统。两家公司目前都在免费租用机器。一家公司正在出租新型号的电脑机器供客户评估，另一家公司正在出租锁式缝纫机，这是促进新教材销售所必需的。在过去的五年里，这两家公司都在出租xout机器，这些机器的使用范围在东京及其周边地区都有所扩大。因此，租赁使用似乎正在逐渐蔓延。目前正在出租机器的两家公司“都规定，租赁期间的损坏和维护问题的“赔偿”将不收取费用。这些事实表明租赁系统的可行性，这是本研究的最终目标，但很明显，这些B/VO公司进行的免费租赁机器的扩展是有限的。因此，为了充分实施学校使用的缝纫机租赁制度，有必要获得学校管理者对制定预算措施的必要性的理解，以及日本缝纫机制造商协会的合作。少

The aim of this study was to obtain basic data in order to promote a rental system for sewing machines, as an idea to improve the environment for study of sewing.First, a questionnaire survey was conducted targeting home economics teachers of public junior hjgh schools in Tokyo and Tokyo municipal senior high schools. The aim was to grasp 'the current situation of the ownership of sewing machines by schools," 'the state of students learning sewing and the burden of teachers in guidance," 'teachers ' opinions and requests on the rental system for sewing machines," etc.; and to examine the possibility and problems involved in introducing such a rental system. Another survey was carried out on the situation of sewing machine rentals for school use, targeting sewing machine dealers and sales companies of teaching materials.As a result of the questionnaire survey, it was observed that the situation of school ownership of sewing machines was not as bad as suspected, but that the number of ma … More chines owned was still inadequate, and the teachers were not satisfied. It was understood that various effects were expected from the rental system, and that the greatest concern of teachers was the problem of compensation for damages incurred during use of the machines. With regard to the implementation of the rental system, the following requests were quoted : 'to clarify how to handle compensation for damages" ; "to respond quickly to mechanical troubles and repairs during the rental period" ; 'to take flexible measure in terms of the machine models, the rental period, and number of machines to be rented" and "an appropriate rental fee system," With regard to the dealers' situation, it was confirmed that two companies were already implementing such systems in Tokyo. Both are currently renting machines free of charge. One company is renting out new models of computerized machines for customer evaluation, and the other is renting out lock-stitch sewing machines, which are necessary for promoting the sales of new teaching materials. Both have been rentingxout machines for the past five years, and the range of the use of these machines has expanded within Tokyo and its neighboring prefectures. Thus, it seems that rental use is gradually spreading. Both of the companies that are currently renting out machines "have specified that"compensation" for damage and maintenance problems during rental would not be charged.These facts suggest the feasibility of a rental system, which is the ultimate goal of this study, but it is obvious that there are limits to the expansion Of the free rental of machines as carried out by these b/vo companies. It is, therefore, seen as necessary to gain the understanding of school administrators on the need to establish budgetary measures, as well as the cooperation of the Japan Sewing Machinery Manufacturers Association, in order to fully implement a sewing machine rental system for school use.
