Recent research trends in-service training of yogo teachers

Abstract

In order for yogo teachers to respond to children's current health issues in a timely fashion, it is extremely important that they be trained in the temperament and abilities required to properly respond to said needs. We utilized CiNii and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society to look up literature using the keywords “yogo teacher," “training," “case studies," “in-service training," “skill improvement," and “after-the-fact training". We selected 72 passages with titles and abstracts containing these words for more thorough reading. Of these, we reviewed 36 published papers with contents consistent with the topic.

The review of these sources found that the continued daily improvement of a yogo teacher's abilities hinged on engaging in health counseling activities and training in the same. Improving teachers' ability in this area requires their consideration of past case studies. We believe that further research geared towards praxis, such as the creation of yogo teacher networks and the launching of conferences with psychiatrists, clinical psychologists or school social workers for the examination of past cases, will be effective in this regard.
