The purpose of this study was to examine the attitude changes and the factors contributing to the changes in students who participated in extracurricular activities, which involve the introduction of external personnel in particular, that put interactive and proactive learning as well as collaboration with external personnel, which are required in recent years in the field of education, into practice.
Through this, we aim to comprehensively discuss the possibilities and challenges of collaboration between external personnel and schools, and to provide suggestions for improving and developing future initiatives.
The subjects of this research are 13 middle schools and high schools in Japan that participated in an educational program to review school regulations through dialogue, with facilitators dispatched from external personnel.
Interviews were conducted with students and teachers from various schools, and the contents of the interviews were qualitatively analyzed (by SCAT: Steps for Coding and Theorization). By analyzing the results of multiple interviews, we attempted to distinguish the effects of the educational program based on school and individual conditions and characteristics.
From the analysis of interviews with six students, 42 propositions (theoretical claims in SCAT terminology) were presented regarding changes in student attitudes.
The analysis showed that students who participated in the activities acquired diverse perspectives and empathy through dialogue with others. Their self-esteem, self-efficacy, and motivation were nurtured within the context of their relationships with others and their personal growth experiences.
