Extracurricular Club Activity Reform in Japanese Public Junior High Schools: The Case of Takarazuka City
Get PDFThis paper examines the current state of Extracurricular Club Activities
(ECAs) in Japan, focusing on the case of ECA reform in the Takarazuka
City Board of Education (TCBE) and junior high schools in Takarazuka
City. First, we provide an overview of the current status of ECAs in Japan.
ECAs originated in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and grew out of the newly
established Free Study subject under the post-war education reform.
Furthermore, in the modern era of nuclear families and declining
birthrates, ECAs have played an essential role as an educational activity
that provides students with opportunities to engage in group activities with
students of a variety of ages and to develop their communication skills. At
the same time, the government has been promoting reform of ECAs with
the aim of reducing the burden on teachers under the principles of the
‘school as a team’ and ‘work-style reform’ efforts. Next, we describe ECA
reforms that our research group has implemented in cooperation with
TCBE. In FY 2020, we conducted a questionnaire survey of students,
parents and teachers to ascertain the status of ECAs in Takarazuka City.
The results of this survey contributed to supporting the formulation of
several education policies. We also recommended measures for ECA
reform that TCBE should implement. First, the school board should allow
students to commute out of the school district if a secondary school within
a designated school zone does not have an ECA of their choice. Second, the
school board funding for ECAs in each school should ensure that there are
at least two instructors supervising each club. Third, the school board
should encourage each school to train junior and senior high school
students to become volunteer personnel in ECAs. We need further
research into how local education boards and schools could train junior
high and high school students for these volunteer roles.departmental bulletin pape
