A Basic Research on the Higher Education Policy in the Era of Enrollment Expansion

本研究旨在探讨日本饮食中有关高等教育的讨论内容，并对战后高等教育政策历史研究的发展有所贡献。虽然饮食报告是高等教育政策研究最重要的来源材料之一，但它们很少被利用，部分原因是它们的数量庞大且复杂。为了克服这些障碍，将1947年至1975年理事会关于高等教育问题的所有审议记录收集、复制、分类和输入，以便建立一个数据库。此外，还收集了1947年至1968年期间向众议院提交的有关高等教育的请愿书，并将其分类，以建立另一个计算机数据库，因为这些请愿书似乎反映了饮食审议的社会功能。因此，这些工作揭示了饮食报告是非常有用的材料，尽管它们有时有偏见。在此基础上，对战后高等教育政策史研究的进一步发展寄予厚望。

The purpose of the research is to investigate the content of deliberations concerning higher education in the Japanese diet and to contribute the development of the historical studies on post-war higher education policy. Although the reports of the diet are among the most important source materials for the study on higher education policy, they have been seldom utilized, partly because of their enormous amount and complexity. In order to surmount these obstacles, all the records of diet deliberations on higher education issues between 1947 and 1975 are gathered, duplicated, classified, and input so as to make a database. Moreover, the petitions to the House of Representatives regarding higher education between 1947 and 1968 were also gathered and classified in order to construct another computer database, since the petitions seems to reflect the social functions of diet deliberation. As the result, these workings revealed that the diet reports are very informative materials, though they sometimes biased. Based on the database we built, the further development of the research on the history of postwar higher education policy are greatly expecting,
