Abstract

In this study, the following three things became clear by analyzing the results of a survey conducted among the graduates of a Junior College in Japan. Firstly, there is a difference between students who ask for advice from teachers and students who do not. It was found that the former students have a higher expectation for the college and higher motivation. This result shows us that going to professors for advice gives students good effects improved on their school lives. Secondly, there is a difference between students who have any achieved certificates and students who do not. It was found that the former students think to keep pursue learning even after graduation. It is considered that those students are strongly aware of the necessity to pursue their future careers or the importance of learning by pursuing certificates. Thirdly, the method of entrance to the university does not make any difference to students. Perhaps this means the students who pursue their careers gain satisfaction from their school lives, and can keep learning after graduation.
