Abstract
This study aimed to examine the attitude changes and the factors contributing to the changes in students who participated in extracurricular activities that involved external personnel. We aimed to comprehensively discuss the possibilities and challenges of collaboration between external personnel and schools and to provide suggestions for improving and developing future initiatives. The participants were 13 middle and high schools in Japan that participated in an educational program to review school regulations through dialogue with facilitators dispatched by external party. Interviews were conducted with students and teachers from various schools, and the contents of the interviews were qualitatively analyzed (using the Steps for Coding and Theorization [SCAT] method). By analyzing the results of multiple interviews, we attempted to distinguish the effects of the educational program based on school and individual conditions and characteristics. From the analysis of the interviews with 6 students, 42 propositions (theoretical claims in SCAT terminology) were presented regarding changes in student attitudes. The analysis showed that students who participated in the activities acquired diverse perspectives and empathy through dialogues with others. Their self-esteem, self-efficacy, and motivation were nurtured in the context of their relationships with others and their personal growth experiences.
