How is performativity or performance culture being enacted in schools? This question was addressed by means of investing head teachers' and teachers' related perceptions within the context of an emerging mode of school governance including a new layer of teaching force, participation in school management by parents and local people, and parental choice of schools. The findings of the research were presented on national and international conferences and journals. Furthermore, they were referred to in a national paper (Mainichi Shimbun, 15^<th> April 2009). This means that the research had an impact on society as well as an academic significance.
