When we closelyexamine personnel systems at corporations and national/local governments in Japan, insearch of appropriate methods for quality human resources development, it isclear that competency- and performance-based personnel evaluation systems havebecome dominant. The national trend of evaluation implementation as of the2006 school year appears to indicate that the core appraisal principles offairness, equality, objectivity, transparency, and persuasiveness aresufficiently considered in personnel evaluations in Japan. Common viewpoints among evaluations indifferent locations include the introduction of target management methods thatutilize self-evaluation; grading (absolute evaluation) based on appraisalitems, elements, as well as evaluation standard; multifaceted evaluation(primary and secondary evaluators); interviews; disclosure and feedback ofappraisal results; utilization of evaluation results in human resourcesdevelopment and ability development; utilization of evaluation results inemployee treatment; establishment of new work performance evaluation(improvement of the existing system). Assuch, the new evaluation system goes beyond being a mere principle ofperformance evaluation to be a manifestation of the idealism ofability-development performance. For that reason, I would like to suggest that thefollowing issues constitute future tasks in order to develop the new personnelevaluation system in Japaninto an even more viable one: First, principals need to secure time for understandingteachers’ execution of duties and facilitating effective interviews, as well asoptimizing a system schedule and its implementation. Second, trustworthiness of the evaluation system andappraisal should be further improved in the following areas: level of challengein goals at the time of evaluation; treatment of responsibilities outside thescope of appraisal; different evaluation methods of multiple evaluators;disclosure of evaluation results and processing of complaints; and the formatof proposal forms. Third, the role of principals as developers andevaluators should be in areas such as sharing common targets with teachers;understanding teacher responsibilities; and improving evaluation and teacher development. Fourth, judging from situations abroad, the time hascome for the administration to consider the five major principles and tworequirements as much as possible in an evaluation system in attempting to fullyestablish a teacher personnel evaluation system across the nation as part of a publicservant personnel evaluation system reform in Japan. The five principles refer to compliance withorganization purposes, transparency, persuasiveness, fairness and equality, andobjectivity. The two requirements referto a viable complaint processing system and new labor negotiation rights. Fifth, it is essential that as an evaluator,principals evaluate teachers’ efforts to work toward ambitious goals and givepositive feedback when reporting evaluation results to teachers. It isdesirable that principals gain an understanding of qualities, abilities,aptitude and characteristic of individual teachers, and base their decisions onthat understanding to place the right people in the right jobs, consider arequest for transfer, and provide guidance and training required. If teachers fail to achieve goals, management isexpected to discuss the cause of failure, future tasks and solutions withteachers from the perspective of positively evaluating teachers’ professionalattitude, and help teachers set new goals. Functions of self assessment maychange depending on whether or not principals and vice principals are able toacknowledge good points of individual teachers and encourage them throughinteractive communication, and create a sense of belonging among teachers. Due consideration should be given to thedelicate mentality of teachers. Self-reflection may encourage teachers to takeon a new challenge.

소개
한국일본교육학회는 1985년 2월 27일, 한국과 일본의 교육학 연구의 정립과 발전을 목적으로 그 역사적인 첫 발을 내딛은 이래 지금까지 양국 교육학의 이해에 많이 기여했다.
오늘날 우리나라 교육학 전공학자는 수천 명에 이르고 있으며, 전공의 다양성은 물론, '지역연구'의 영역 또한 매우 광범위하게 펼쳐 있다. 우리나라 교육학의 외연을 살찌게 하기 위해서는 무엇보다 되도록 수많은 지역과 나라에 걸친 광범위한 '지역교육연구'가 활발하게 전개되는 것이라 하겠다.
그러나 이러한 시대적 요청에도 불구하고 우리나라 지역교육연구의 현실은 그 지역의 다양성과 교육학적 이해에 있어서 매우 척박한 실정이다. 이런 부진한 지역연구의 현실 속에서 본 학회는 아시아 지역, 그 중에서도 특히 '일본교육' 연구에 초점을 두고, 운영하고 있다는 것은 교육학계에서 선도적 역할을 수행하고 있는 것이다.
