Abstract
In April 1994, the University of Tsukuba attached Senior High School at Sakado established an "Integrated Science Course," which is a form of the "Integrated Course". To implement the course, we developed a new curriculum based on tradition and achievement of our technological and vocational education existing at that time. The main distinguishing characteristic of this curriculum is the existence of many electives in the fields ranging from technical to general. It is necessary for students to make their individual schedules by choosing their subjects exactly and efficiently from various electives being offered. Teachers must register student's attendance, and maintain student's records, and make various documents concerning school affairs. Due to this "Integrated" system, we developed new management and administrative methods, and made examination of the results of these methods afterwards. We also, alluded to the possibility of its application in junior or senior high schools when various electives are offered in their curriculum.
