We also aim to train researchers who can conduct policy planning and evaluation, administration and finance system reform, and management, and supervision, as well as public officials in leader positions (education administration officials, school administrators, teacher consultants, and others). The Division was created in 2006 after reorganization of the former Division of Education Administration. The interdisciplinary nature of the field has resulted in much active collaboration and cooperation with other research fields and institutions. Staff Toshiyuki OMOMO Professor (Educational Administration) I have been working on a comparative analysis of education policies in the United States and Japan, a historical study of US education policies, and analysis of the current status of education administration reforms. How should we understand the guarantee of equal educational opportunities? In regards to education, how should we redefine the relationship between the central government and the local governments, between general administration and educational administration, and between administrative agencies and private organizations? How should we understand the reform of schools, regarded as the core institution for securing educational opportunity? I examine these issues historically and comparatively.

In particular, I have a continuing interest in teacher evaluation policies and practices, and currently value-added approaches to teacher evaluation that are increasingly becoming popular around the world attract my attention. I am also doing research into professional learning networks or communities across as well as within Japan’s high schools. I am interested in working with students from different backgrounds who are keen to conduct research in a wide range of areas that roughly match mine. Those students who share with me concerns about democracy, social justice, equity, quality and effectiveness in schooling will be particularly welcome.

(in Japanese) Yusuke MURAKAMI Professor (Education Politics and Policy); Faculty member of the Division of Educational Practices and Policies My research interest is educational politics and policy, especially in Japan&＃8217;s education board system and national/local education policy. Education policymaking requires both democratic control and a high degree of professionalism. However, these elements do not always work in conjunction, and we must balance the two. I have examined the school board system in Japan that aims for the checks-and-balances system and have analyzed how the dynamic between democracy and professionalism causes different policy outcomes. Recently, I am also interested in comparative education politics and policy. Using data from international comparative surveys, I hope to analyze the impact of politics on education and the impact of education on politics from a view of comparative politics.

(in Japanese) Akihiro HASHINO Associate Professor (Education Policy and Finance); Faculty member of the Division of Educational Practices and Policies My research focuses on the political and economic aspects of administration and finance, and policy of education. While there are an infinite number of goals imposed on education by society, there are only a finite number of resources such as budget, personnel, and time to realize them. Because of the finiteness and scarcity of these resources, democraticness and efficiency are inevitably required in the policy process. I am engaged in theoretical and empirical research based on my awareness of the issues of how such democratic decision making and efficient policy implementation can be achieved, and how democraticness and efficiency can be understood and measured in the field of education policy. I am also strongly interested in “evidence-based policy making”, and considering not only the methods of policy evaluation but also the influence and role of research in policy and political processes.
