Abstract

We carried out a career education for junior high school students to bring up their interests for various occupations for four years from 2005 to 2008. The characteristic point of this practice is that we introduced mentors who have occupational career and give the students advices related to their job to conduct this practice in collaboration with a junior high school and a university, and an internet bulletin board system and SNS were provided for the students and mentors to facilitate communication between them. In this research, we examined some evaluations of the practice as a career education. At the same time, we analyzed the contents of the questions which were asked by the students and the evaluation of the mentors of this practice. As a result of quantitative and qualitative examination, we found that this practice received positive evaluation to the fact that the mentor and the students had opportunity of questions and answers. In addition, the characteristic of the questions asked by the students was clarified. On the other hand, the difficulty of deepening a relationship between the mentors and the students was observed.
