Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the forms of the teacher communities surrounding teachers that support the one-to-one computer environment utilization in junior high schools where a subject teacher system. The authors interviewed teachers who belong to junior high schools that are relatively frequently utilizing the one-to-one computer environment. As the result of the analysis, (1) teacher community activities for the one-to-one computer environment utilization, (2) the creation of a new classroom community through computer utilization, and (3) an environment that supports the activities of the school community, were found. Furthermore, we found that (4) support from outside the school for computer utilization, is also important as the environment. It is suggested that the teacher communities in junior high school that support the use of the one-to-one computer environment may have a different aspect from that of the past and that it will be important to consider how to reorganize it that tends to be demarcated by subject and create classroom communities that both teacher and student cooperatively learn in the future.
