How junior high school teachers work


 On this page, we will summarize what we learned through questionnaires and questions for three junior high school teachers. Thank you very much for answering.

 It's a very familiar profession to us, but the job of the teacher looks very hard.

 Not only do we have to give classes, but we also have to do test scoring and club activity advisors.

 Besides, we go to work earlier than we go to school, and return later than we go to school, which means longer working hours.


 What kind of image do you have for junior high school teachers? Let's look at the work of a junior high school teacher from the perspective of working style.

1,About working hours


<Questions and answers>

Q1.How many hours are you at the place where you work?
A1.On average, about 10.7 hours .

Q2.How much time do you work after the scheduled time?
A2.On average, about 2.7 hours .

Q3.What do you think of working overtime more than two hours a day? (3 out of 3)
A3.I do it because I have to do it ... 2 people
It ’s not hard… 1 person

 Looking at working hours, it is a dangerous situation much higher than the nationally recommended standards . However, some respondents said that just being in school at the same time as the students would result in working hours exceeding 10 hours, so I don't think it would be very easy to save time.

2,About holidays


<Questions and answers>

Q4.How many days do you rest a week?
A4.On average, it was about 1.7 days .

Q5.What do you often do on holidays? (3 out of 3)
A5.Housework ... 2 people
Cooking ・ ・ ・ 1 person

Q6.Do you do the same for work on holidays? (3 out of 3)
A6.No ... 3 people

 Don't ... There are relatively few jobs to bring home, so you can see that work and private time can be separated .

3,Feelings when working


<Questions and answers>

Q7.Questions and Answers Do you think you can do what you like?
A7.Three out of three were yes .

Q8.Do you enjoy your daily work?
A8.Yes 3 out of 3.


 Everyone answered that their work was fun , which means they can enjoy sharing their favorite things with their students. When I asked one of the teachers, she said that "I can't do it unless I like it because it's a very hard job" , and the strength of my love is the driving force of my job I felt it was.

4,Regarding work style reform


<Questions and answers>

Q10. Are you glad that your workplace is now adapting to the work style reforms being undertaken by the country?
A10.I was so happy ... two people .
I'm a little happy ... 1 person

When asked about the reason for this, "a lot of hopes for working style reforms, such as" I can help by reducing the number of jobs when I'm not working, such as housework and childcare " You can see that you have. However, there are also opinions that they often do things I don't care about the process but want to reduce the amount of work more .

5,Remedy

 Based on the above, we consider what kind of work style reform is good for junior high school teachers. For junior high school teachers who often do things and it is not practical to save time at once, I think a more diverse way of working You. It is necessary to have a system that can incorporate some of the circumstances of the family into the way of working.
