Abstract: We made inquiries into the actual condition of the education of the professional school, which is required to exalt the mind of the students to the spirit of acupuncturists, the professionals, (below we call it socializing function.) conducting the questionnaire on our students.
In July 1993, we conducted the unsigned questionnaire on 172 students of the 3rd grade of the faculty of acupuncture.
We classified the students into 3 types, “making good progress type”, “having trouble type” and “having no purpose type”, considering from the point of view of socializing function in 3 stages, before entering the school, studing in the school and graduating from the school. Consequently, about 80 percent of the students were “making good progress type” and there weren't any “having no purpose type” students. It seems to be one of the typical characteristics of professional schools. However about 10 percent are “having trouble type” students and we consider that the more internal inquiries on this type of the students and the educational consideration toward them are our questions to answer in the future.
