Factors related to student continuation and discontinuation of Japanese in senior secondary school
Abstract
This research presents insights into reasons\nwhy students of Japanese in high school elect to discontinue their studies\nbefore year 11, or continue into senior secondary school. The study is national in scope, encompassing\nboth Government and non-Government schools, enabling comparisons across\njurisdictions that may reveal incentives and disincentives that operate in\nparticular States. It is hoped that a\nbetter understanding of the reasons for student choices, and the impacts of\nparticular institutional and policy settings, will inform development of policy\nmeasures at government, jurisdiction and school levels as well as pedagogic\napproaches to support increased continuation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis report was compiled for the\npurpose of informing the work of the Senior Secondary Languages Education\nResearch Project.
