This paper is a summary of the Joint Seminar of the Japan-Korea Educational Administration Societies held on 26th September, 2003, at Seoul Temf Hotel, Korea. At the second-year joint seminar on "Problems and Methods of School Administration Reform," we discussed the problems and possibilities of some specific methods of school reform. Since the late 1990's, both Japan and Korea have launched school administration reform (in particular, the expansion of school autonomy) by enacting similar reform methods such as the school evaluation system, teachers assessment system, and so on. However, there are some criticisms that these reform methods have caused severe conflict at each district or school level and cannot lead to school effectiveness. We, therefore, decided to analyze the actual situation of schools (or districts) undergoing the present school reforms, and finally to search for solutions that would realize a more productive school organization by comparing both nation's reform methods. Titles of presentations and speakers were as follows: "Theme 1: Principal's role and responsibility in new school administration" Chair: HORIUCHI, Tsutomu (Kyoto University of Education) Speakers: OJIMA, Hiromichi (University of Tsukuba, Japan) CHOI, Hee-Sun (Kyungin National University of Education, Korea) "Theme 2: Problems and solutions of school evaluation systems" Chair: AHN, Ki-Sung (Korea University) Speakers: KOMATSU, Ikuo (National Institutefor Educational Policy Research) PARK, Jong-Yeol (University of Kyonpook) "Theme 3: Problems and solutions of teacher assessment systems" Chair: YAOSAKA, Osamu (Kyushu University) Speakers: SAKAKI, Tatsuo (Professor Emeritus, Nagoya University) KANG, In-Soo (The University of Suwon)
