According to a survey conducted by Sanpo, which provides career information, high school teachers who instruct students who are refraining from taking university entrance exams are dissatisfied and lack information regarding open campuses, changes in the entrance examination system, online information sessions and interviews.
The survey was conducted for high school career guidance departments nationwide before the reissue of the state of emergency in December 2020, and the responses obtained from 12 schools were tabulated.
According to it, 61.2% of high schools participated in online information sessions for teachers sponsored by career information providers. Many respondents said they participated two or three times.Of the 2 schools that gave their impressions and requests for participation, "You can participate without travel time. You can participate not only as a representative but also as multiple people" (Miyagi Prefecture), "It is good that the restraint time is short" (Osaka Prefecture) ), Etc., the most common answer was "Efficient without travel time" at 3%.
Next, 14.5% answered that "the high school's online environment was inadequate or had a poor connection," and 9.1% said that "it was interrupted during viewing due to school affairs." "There were some problems with quick explanations of materials and problems during times when network lines were concentrated (related to school LAN)" (Miyagi Prefecture), "Some things could not be viewed on school PCs" (Tochigi Prefecture). ), "Because I am in the school, I am called by another matter and I can not concentrate. I feel it for a long time. Equipment malfunction" (Osaka), etc. It can be seen that it is calm and unable to participate in a stable viewing environment.It was also pointed out that it was not possible to sufficiently exchange questions and answers, exchange opinions, and exchange information only with participants.
In addition, when asked about the information that was lacking in the career guidance of Corona, the most common was 58.6% of open campuses (face-to-face).Next, the change in the entrance examination system was 39.8%, and the online interview measures were 38.0%.It can be seen that not only the students but also the teachers are very anxious about having to decide where to go to school without having the opportunity to feel the actual atmosphere.It seems that there was a lack of information on the changes in the entrance examination system due to the influence of the new coronavirus as well as the start of the new method at the same time as the common test for university admission, comprehensive selection, and school type selection.
Regarding future career guidance information, there were conspicuous opinions about "online selection" that may remain after the convergence of the corona.This time, online interview tests were held at multiple universities on weekdays (days when the school is open) and on holidays, but "Because the high school side will be burdened with human resources, it will be held in the school building. Concerns such as "I want you to stop" and "Should I do the online exam in high school? (It would be difficult if I did it ...)" were conspicuous.
In addition, there were comments such as "I want a list of universities and vocational schools that conduct online selection" and "I want the universities that conducted online selection this year to summarize the grounds and what to do from next year."
Regarding the general entrance examination, there are voices such as "I want you to summarize the first year of comprehensive selection", "It is difficult to understand what the university wants due to the handling of the recommendation letter", and "The method of applying online varies from school to school".
