Effects of Tissue Properties on OJT for Japanese Elementary School Teachers
Keywords:
OJT type; performance; tissue property; indirect effect; difference in experience, task performance, contextual performanceAbstract
The aging of Japan’s elementary school teachers has made it
necessary to implement more effective on-the-job-training (OJT) for
junior faculty. Several approaches have been proposed to enhance the
effectiveness of OJT for teachers. This study clarifies the effects of OJT
on the tissue properties for elementary school teachers with one to two
years of experience. Factor analysis is applied to questionnaire data to
clarify a conceptual scheme. My proposed hypothesis about types of
OJT includes indirect effects and differences in work experience. The
hypothesis is verified by multiple regression analysis and t-tests. Results
indicate that first types of OJT show indirect effects on tissue properties.
Second, differences emerging types of OJT, tissue properties and
performance in the recognition of teachers who have one to two years of
experience. The study clarifies the relationship between types of OJT
and their effects on tissue properties.
