A Study of Educational Clinical Sociology about Students' Misbehaviors and Strategies to Control their Occurrence by Tightening Cooperation Among Preschools, Elementary and Middle Schools.

为了解学生适应不良和不良行为的实际情况，以及学校通过加强学前和中小学合作来支持他们的策略，我们进行了以下三项研究。第一部分，学前和小学合作研究。1)以“学前和小学合作”为名的活动类型的调查研究。我们进行了一项调查，以获取学前和小学合作的管理政策。2003年1月和2月，向47个州和主要大城市的教育委员会发出了调查问卷。我们还发出了不同的问卷，对126所小学和124所幼儿园的合作活动类型进行了调查。通过这两次调查，我们发现许多学校只是在两种类型的学校的孩子之间举行了建立友谊的机会。很少有学校尝试开发学前和小学合作的创新课程。2)通过行动研究开发创新课程，加强学前和小学的合作。我们开发了新课程，通过与一所国立大学的附属幼儿园和小学合作，实现从学前到小学的顺利过渡。第二部分，中小学合作研究。3)小学转中学情况的小组调查。小组调查从六年级末到七年级下学期跟踪学生对学校适应程度的变化和日常生活的改变。我们发现，在这一转变过程中，学生的态度发生了多方面的剧烈变化。

We conducted three studies as below to capture the actual conditions of students' maladjustment and misbehaviors as well as schools' strategies to support them by tightening cooperation among preschools, elementary and middle schools.Part 1. Studies of cooperation between preschools and elementary schools.1)A survey study to capture types of activities in the name of "cooperation between preschools and elementary schools."We conducted a survey to capture administrative policies of cooperation between preschools and elementary schools. Questionnaires were sent to the boards of education of 47 prefectures and major big cities in January and February of 2003. We also sent a different questionnaire to investigate types of activities of cooperation in 126 elementary schools and 124 preschools.Through these two surveys, we found many schools just hold opportunities to form a friendship among children of two types of schools. Very few schools tried to develop innovative curriculum to cooperate between preschools and elementary schools.2)An action research to develop innovative curriculum to tighten cooperation between preschools and elementary schools.We developed new curriculum to allow smooth transfer from a preschool to an elementary school by cooperating with the attachment preschool and elementary school of a national university. "Conjunctive period" was set up, which began from the fall of 5th year's old in preschool and finished at the end of first semester of the first graders.Part 2, Studies of cooperation between elementary and middle schools.3)A panel survey about transferring from elementary schools to middle schools.A panel survey was conducted to investigate change of the degree of adjustment to schools and transformation of daily lives by following students from the end of the sixth grade to the second semester of seventh grade. We found various aspects of drastic changes of students' attitudes during this transition.
