We measured and examined the economic and social effects of higher education based on the use of complex data and statistical methods. As a result, the economic effects related to university education have been confirmed by various data and methods, and the effects can also be confirmed in the social effects (health, Sense of Coherence, happiness). However, problems in collecting collected data and methodological improvements remain.

Evaluation of present status of College Education Reform

Large scale questionnaire surveys were conducted on students and faculty members . By comparing the results from similar surveys in ten years ago, it was found that: 1) teaching practices have shifted towards more student-friendly, 2) the evaluation of students about teaching and the institutions improved, but 3) the time spent for learning outside class room remained practically the same. This shows the robustness of implicit understandings about student burden outside classroom. An additional survey on teachers, after the Corona Pandemic, showed that the teachers significantly increased requirements of work outside classroom, and many of them were willing to keep the practice.

We conducted basic research and action research for the training of senior managers at the university. Expectations for the presidents are high, and it turned out that their job was more difficult than generally thought. So far, policies have been implemented to grant authority and budget. However, what is needed is the development and support of university management personnel. It was also revealed that the potential demand for senior management for training is high.

Reform of National Universities and the Role of Humanities and Social Sciences

Author : Ogata Naoyuki
Through the case study of the newly born faculty of humanities and social sciences in the national universities, this study clarifies the process of the reorganization based on the visit survey, the program characteristics centered on the document materials, and the effect of reorganization through the student and teacher survey. Depending on the former organization and human resources of each university, even if the faculty names are similar to each other, the field of studies of faculty members, the structures of department or courses, and the characteristics of the programs differ greatly. In addition, especially from the student survey, it has become clear that the educational reforms have advanced beyond the average of the national survey, and that the impact of education is also uneven, reflecting the characteristics of the program.

Date (from‐to) : 2015/04 -2018/03
Author : Ogata Naoyuki
Research aim of this study is to construct a new framework for analyzing modern Japanese educational policy. In the first year, we conducted a survey about demand for modern educational policy materials for three academic societies, and revealed that there is enough expectation for this approach among research communities. In the second year, we picked up the subject of moral education in the elementary and secondary education policies, gathered information on policy-related publications, and carried out a visit survey to members of each committee other than civil servants. In the final year, we examined the obligation of confidentiality of government officials, created a memorandum on the relationship between record keeping and confidentiality obligation of civil servants, and began implementing a visit survey to civil servants. This research is not aimed at publication of the material, and we strictly preserved the collected information for future researchers.

Functional Differentiation of Tertiary Education and Framework for Quality through Career and Vocational Education
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
This research aimed to explore how functional differentiation and quality assurance of education programmes at universities and non-universities should be respectively in universal tertiary education systems.
From the perspective of objectives, methods and governance of education, each education of academic type and career-oriented one was understood empirically. According to the graduate survey aiming at cooperative IR activities, two vectors meaning the application of acquired learning outcomes and acquisition of competencies needed for jobs were found. The survey for teaching staffs at non-universities showed their conflict that occurred between career and regional orientation by their institutions and research orientation by themselves. Based on the results of curriculum survey like WIL, sectoral features about upgrading of education and the relationship with stakeholders became apparent. National Qualifications Framework would provide implications for the feasibility in Japan.

Basic Research on Organized Practice in College Education

Date (from‐to) : 2013/04 -2016/03
Author : Ogata Naoyuki
The purpose of this research is to study case investigation on the primary school teacher training in Japan to consider an organized practice in college education. After the macroscopic study how each institution has gone into the primary school teacher training and the microscopic case study on one institution undertaking the primary school teacher training, two nationwide surveys on the college educational program about the primary school teacher training and on the teaching practice by the primary school teacher were conducted. Two points became clear. One is that there are few programs taking expertise or uniqueness of the primary school teacher training into consideration. The other is that there are few primary school teachers practicing plural subjects confidently and enough training opportunities for acquiring such competences are not offered.

The purpose of this research is to study case investigation on the primary school teacher training in Japan to consider an organized practice in college education. After the macroscopic study how each institution has gone into the primary school teacher training and the microscopic case study on one institution undertaking the primary school teacher training, two nationwide surveys on the college educational program about the primary school teacher training and on the teaching practice by the primary school teacher were conducted. Two points became clear. One is that there are few programs taking expertise or uniqueness of the primary school teacher training into consideration. The other is that there are few primary school teachers practicing plural subjects confidently and enough training opportunities for acquiring such competences are not offered.
Comparative Study on the Interaction between Academic Managers and Administrative Managers
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
In the rapid changing environments, universities are facing the challenges to reform both of governance and management. This study focused on the aspect of management and tried to analyze the interaction between "academic managers" such as president, vice president and deans and "administrative managers" such as the secretary general, registrar,and the financial director through the international comparison.
As a result, we found as follows. First at the foreign universities, managerial positions are more differentiated functionally than Japanese universities. Second, however, the functional areas in which both managers may affect their authority and power are compatible between Japanese universities and foreign universities. Finally, the most striking difference is the way to acquire their capabilities to perform. While managers at foreign universities acquired through education and training, Japanese counterparts mostly did through experiences.

The Structure and Formation of Public Opinion for Higher Education
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research
This study tries to clarify the influence of public opinion on policy making through focusing on the public comment system. Based on the findings of the public comment system, quantitative characteristic of public opinion to education policy is analyzed based on the data collected from “e-Gov” through 2003 to 2013. As a result, the type of public-offered political issues or the number of opinions differ among divisions of MEXT. Furthermore the influence of each opinion received through the public comment system on higher education policy making is introduced as an example. We can only get quantitative response of public opinion to each policy and the contents of individual or drafted opinion by “e-Gov” data. Therefore what we have done is a limited analysis on the degrees of interest in each policy. A detailed case study remains as a future issue to study substantial influence of public opinion on policy making.

Higher Education Adaptation to Environment:Anaysis of Origin, Transformation and Properness of Origanization and Scale
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
We focused on the optimal scale and scope of an organizational unit which effectively alleviate the growing workload of Japanese professors in administrative and management tasks.The effect of the size and scope of labo on administrative time was dependent by their major. We also considered whether and how the self-image, mission, and vision of universities was perceived and internalized by the management of Japanese universities and empirically examined the determinants of shaping such individual perceptions.A multiple regression analysis revealed that the economy of scale brought out by an undergraduate student enrollment gradually slowed down and decelerated executive perceptions, with regard to establishing a globally recognized status. The management in universities granted with the same amount of external research funds in both studied years responded more passively in 2012 than did in 2005 on the self-assessment of whether having established a status as a global knowledge base.

Functional Differentiation and Appropriate Scale of Institutions in the National Higher Education System
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)
This project demonstrates nation-wide inconsistencies between the functional differentiations based on learning types at the undergraduate level and those promoted by the government on the basis of the scale of graduate education.
The results of a quantitative study reveal that only 10.1% of undergraduate engineering students in national universities are highly motivated, and that they are distributed equally between institutions, independent of institutional size and student selectivity.
A qualitative study about leading-edge teaching practices in Japan and the U. S. illustrates that both faculty and university administrators recognize that certain organizational characteristics, such as restricted enrollment, flexible structure without departmental divisions, collegial relationships, strong integration of organization culture, and collaborative linkages with industry, can be essential and advantageous to the effective fostering of self-motivated engineers in undergraduate programs.

Non-University Higher Education, and Qualification Framework
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
This research focused on Junior colleges and professional training colleges as non-university higher education sectors and researched the characteristics of their educational programs with three perspectives, namely “control of education”, “methodology of education” and “goals of education”. We aimed to reveal their specialties with vocational education-oriented approach empirically in contrast with academic-oriented one in universities. Moreover, as policy scientific research we searched the possibilities of national qualifications frameworks in order to improvesocial cognition for non-university education system and their quality assurance. Further, we conducted field studies of non-university higher education institutions abroad. On commencement of this research, we have created four classifications including the “national license sector”, the “industrial sector”, the “commerce and business sector” and the “design, contents and others sector”. We did more field surveys domestic and abroad and revealed their mutual aspects and differentiated trends of their curriculum. Secondly, based on these results we surveyed teaching staff and institutions of junior colleges and professional training colleges nationwide. Through this survey, we clarified the formation of various competencies such as excellence in vocational practice, academic activities, educational qualification and management ability. We found unique operational style of each type of institution. Finally, we did graduate survey focusing their careers and evaluating their graduating colleges.During this research period we held several international seminars at each research stage such as kickoff point, a halfway point and closing points and also had opportunities to present our research results through academic meetings of Japan Association of Higher Education Research and so on.

Comparative Study on Assessment of University Education by Graduates and Employers in Europe and Japan
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
This research has been conducted to explore realistic possibilities of a theory of junior college as the first stage and also to clarify the outcome of junior college education. This research is based on the hypothesis that the outcome of junior college education should be substantiated not only by various aspects of actual conditions of graduates in their social life but also by their candid evaluation of junior college education. In order to prove this hypothesis, we conducted a questionnaire-type investigation of graduates. Our analysis of the results of this investigation clearly shows the strengths and shortcomings of junior college education in the past. The research results have been utilized in the self-check and evaluation of junior college education.
This report comprises three parts: the first is the assignment and background of this research, the second is the analysis of this investigation of junior college graduates, and the third is the self-check and evaluation and such proposals as the analysis suggests in terms of educational innovation of junior college education.
(Major points of interest as revealed by the research)
1. The differences are conspicuous among graduates of the different departments of study in college and of the lengths of work experience in terms of their career path either in continued academic education or in the choice or change of work after graduation from junior college. The graduates as a whole may be said to be faced with some difficulty in getting full-time employment upon graduation and also eventually failing to secure their work that is closely related to their field of study in college.
2. As a result of our investigative research of junior college graduates, we propose seven standard explanatory models concerning educational outcome indices by which the self-check and evaluation activities by junior colleges will be effective. Furthermore, we compare the actual outcome of each junior college involved in this research with the attainable prospective outcome on the basis of the prescribing factor model.
(Future research areas and issues)
1. The secondary analysis of this research results in comparison with the graduates of four-year colleges and vocational schools.
2. The implementation of an interview-type investigation with graduates of junior colleges.
3. The implementation of an interview-type investigation with employers of graduates and with community leaders concerning graduates' participation in social activities in the community.

Comparative Study of Higher Education and Competency Development in European and Japan
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science:Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
The project builds on previous collaboration between the applicant and the partner organization in the framework of a comparative study of graduates employment in eleven European countries and Japan funded by European Commission and Japan. This project identified a number of similarities between Japan and UK - especially in relation to the role of degrees in career formation - and these contrasted with the situation in continental European countries.
A key issue identified was the importance attached to ‘problem-solving' ability as a key competence. However, the meaning attached to the concept of`problem-solving is not clear. Nor is it clear through what processes graduates acquire this ability and use it in their working life. The previous study explored these issues mainly from a graduate perspective and using quantitative survey techniques. The proposed project will take aqualitative approach and look atthe issues from the perspectives of Japanese and UK employers.
To clarify the status of and issues surrounding human resource development by comparing the role that higher education plays in human resource development in Europe and Japan. Especially, Comparative study is focus attention in the United Kingdom and Japan.
It is intended to interview both human resource managers of Japanese branches or associated companies located in the UK and managers of UK companies located in Japan. Interviews will be conducted by pairs of Japanese/UK researchers in order to combine both comparative perspectives and contextual awareness.
The project will produce a number of published outcomes concerning an increased understanding of the similarities and differences in the competencies required and possessed by Japanese and UK graduates from the perspectives of enterprises operating in both countries, the development of an academic framework for addressing the relationship between higher education and employment that may offer alternatives to the ‘qualification societies' of continental Europe and the US.
The project will also provide the basis for future collaboration between the Japanese and UK research groups, for example in identifying the challenges facing Japanese and UK higher education institutions in meeting the requirements of both national and international labour markets. The project will seek to benefit Japanese and UK enterprises that wish to develop their international activities in each other's countries.

Utilising university graduates survey data conducted in eleven Europe countries and Japan, this research has analyzed the relationship between higher education and graduates' transition to work. In recent years, the relationship between higher education and work has attracted considerable attention in developed countries due to several circumstances. The enrolment ratio in higher education has increased in Japan as well as in European countries during the last decade, which is expressed as "massification" or "universalisation". On the other hand, the knowledge-based economy and socio-economic globalisation have developed. Then the requirements for human resource, the recruitment practices and the graduates' careers are changing.
Thus European and Japanese researchers groups have jointly conducted a comparative study of graduates with the first degree. Finally, more than 35,000 graduates data were obtained in 1999. This research project proceeds as three steps ; 1) evaluating various dimensions of transition outcomes of twelve countries' graduates, 2) grasping the varieties of higher education experiences and 3) explaining the transition outcomes by various factors of higher education experiences, including multi-level indexes of country's contextual differences. The focus of this analysis are consisted deeply from Japanese concerns, how university graduates are seeming not to use well knowledge acquired during university study in the occupational activities after graduation.
Several considerations can be drawn from this study. First, Japanese graduates show better transition outcomes in terms of smoothness to find employment than European counterparts, but worse in terms of the knowledge utilization. Secondly, Japanese graduates have enrolled at younger age and finished in shorter duration of study, with fewer work experiences both before and during study than many European countries' graduates. Thirdly, the low levels of knowledge utilization in Japan are mostly explained by both the fewer work experiences during the study and the younger graduation age. From these findings, it seems quite important in Japan to encourage work experiences in higher education including internship programs, and to evaluate carefully the competences which university graduates are bearing and would become useful at the further stage of their career.
