Abstract

In-service teacher training is conducted at schools in Japan to address various educational challenges with the aim of enriching on-the-job training (OJT) at schools through teacher collaboration and off-the-job training (Off-JT) outside of schools. However, in Miyazaki prefecture, OJT does not function well at remote schools or small schools in the mountains, and various conditions make it difficult for teachers to participate in training outside the school premises, even if they would like to. In this chapter, the authors propose a support system that aims to revitalize OJT/in-school training through the effective use of video conferencing technology, and a support system for Off-JT/out-of-school training through the construction of a new training system. This chapter introduces excellent initiatives at small schools in the mountains that make use of the authors' training system. The authors believe this training system can offer many important insights into how teachers are trained in developing countries and numerous countries with various geographic issues.
