Description

This paper aims to investigate the effects of university recruitment visits to high schools for prospective students. This practice has long prevailed among private universities in Japan. This study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with ten high school teachers who are in charge of career guidance for students. The interviews were analyzed using the Grounded Theory Approach. The main finding was that, for the most part, school recruitment visits are welcomed and recognized as valuable opportunities for college-bound students to obtain the latest information about universities. However, most of the teachers were not totally satisfied with the information obtained during the recruitment visits. It was felt that the information was dominated by facts easily accessible via booklets or websites. In this study, teachers also reflected on the values and the intentions of college-bound students and their parents.
