Although inquiry-based learning is located importantly in the curriculum guidelines of the MEXT, there are a lot of ways to put them in effect. We focused the graduation study of the Secondary Education School attached to the School of Education, University of Tokyo, we figured out the theme setting, selection and practice of methodology of research, and paper writing and oral presentation. Especially we centered on theme selection and research support by use of school libraries. By making questionnaire studies of the students in the end of each year for three school years. we made clear that the library support affected positively the students by comparing both situations with support and without support.
