Research on possibilities of school reform by collaborations between high schools and communities business

本研究旨在探讨学校与社区合作对高中教育改革的影响。我们对日本和美国的学校和社区合作进行了调查。研究摘要如下：1)体验学习在高中教育改革中扮演着怎样的角色？我们关注美国高中“从学校到工作”的实践。我们关注的是日本的SOUGOUGAKKA高中（学分制综合高中）。我们了解到，以社区为基础的学习不仅有利于两国学生未来的职业选择，而且有利于学术学习。然而，日本高中的体验学习时间很短，只有两三天。美国高中生经历了工作场所劳动似乎可以理解的结构化程序。我们调查了学校和企业之间的合作关系是如何形成的。在美国，合伙是为了双方的利益而谈判并签订合同的。在日本，学校单方面要求企业合作。3)我们对高中和大学之间的理想衔接和协作方式进行了调查。从中学后教育的理想方法出发，探讨与高中和大学衔接和合作的理想方法。在美国，高中和大学的合作实践有12000多个案例，内容也多种多样。
