Sanpo Co., Ltd., which provides career information on universities, junior colleges, vocational schools, etc. for high school students, is aware of the vocational universities that are about to pass two years since the opening in April 2019, and for vocational universities. We surveyed 4 high school career guidance departments nationwide regarding career guidance stances. (Number of responses 2, response rate 4,992%)
According to the survey, the question "How much do you know about professional universities?" Was asked twice in the past, in 2016 and 2018 before the opening of the university, but the total of "I know well" and "I know most" The ratio exceeded half for the first time this time.However, the percentage of teachers who "know only the name", in other words, "know only the name", did not change much between the 2 survey (2016%) and the 48.3 survey (2020%) before the opening of the school. rice field.
In addition, regarding the stance of advancing to professional universities and junior colleges so far, the percentage of respondents who answered "I recommended another educational institution" or "Leave it to the students" was 46.1% in total. , Almost the same as the ratio of "I know only the name" mentioned above.You can see the current situation where it is not recommended or left to the students because the understanding and interest in professional universities is not deepened.
Many of the faculty members who responded cited the concerns before the opening of the school, such as "I don't understand the difference from existing educational institutions" and "I'm worried about getting a job," as the reasons why I couldn't actively recommend a professional university.In addition, some faculty members misunderstood that "a university that can obtain a bachelor's degree is better for the same number of years" and "it is easy to mistake it for a university, so please change the name."
In response to the situation where it is hard to say that awareness of high school sites has improved as two years have passed since the school opened, not only professional universities and junior colleges, but also the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology are included. It can be said that it is necessary to take measures to seek understanding again from the basics of the professional university system.The analysis results of this questionnaire were held at the "Professional University Symposium" (held online on March 2, 2021) sponsored by the "Contents Education Society", which has been conducting research on professional universities even before the opening of the university. To clarify the actual situation of understanding and career guidance to professional universities, and as a result, the contents and characteristics of professional universities, their recognition, differences from existing educational institutions, and the ideal way of career guidance in high schools. Conduct research discussions.
