Systech IT Solutions Co., Ltd. (Location: Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture; Representative Director: Katsuyoshi Ichi) conducted a survey targeting teachers responsible for career guidance in junior and senior high schools, focusing on "Challenges Teachers Face in Career Guidance and the Potential of Digital Utilization."
As career choices become more diverse, the importance of personalized career guidance that supports each student is increasing.
However, teachers face numerous challenges such as "not enough time to organize career-related information," "student data being scattered," and "inability to fully utilize collected information for analysis."
To accurately grasp students' career aspirations and aptitudes and connect them to appropriate support, the utilization of digital tools such as school administration support systems is becoming indispensable.
So, to what extent are teachers actually utilizing student data in career guidance?
And what challenges and possibilities do frontline teachers perceive regarding the digital utilization of career guidance?

Approximately 80% responded that they have a system in place for career guidance utilizing school administration support systems!
First, when asked "To what extent are you currently utilizing student learning data and behavioral data in career guidance?", approximately 80% responded with "Very well utilized (26.4%)" or "Utilized to some extent (56.5%)."
Many respondents indicated that they are utilizing student data in some form, suggesting a high penetration rate of data in educational settings.
However, only about 30% responded with "Very well utilized," indicating that many feel they are "utilizing it, but not sufficiently."
So, what kind of data is being utilized in career guidance?
When those who responded "Very well utilized" or "Utilized to some extent" in the previous question were asked "What data are you utilizing for career guidance?", the most common response was "Students' career aspirations (62.9%)," followed by "Academic performance (regular exams, in-school mock exams) (58.1%)" and "Attendance status and daily life records (52.2%)."
The top responses were "basic quantitative data" such as career aspirations, academic performance, and attendance.
Effective data utilization in the field is considered to be, rather than employing advanced analysis, first accurately and comprehensively grasping objective numerical values indicating the student's current situation during interviews and guidance.
While the data being utilized has become clear, are the environments in place to smoothly utilize this data for career guidance?
When asked "Is a system in place to provide career guidance based on student learning data and behavioral data, utilizing school administration support systems?", approximately 80% responded with "Very well established (21.2%)" or "Established to some extent (54.9%)."
Many respondents gave a certain level of positive evaluation to the career guidance system, suggesting that the introduction of school administration support systems in educational settings is becoming standardized.
On the other hand, only about 20% responded with "Very well established," and the majority responded with "to some extent." This indicates that while the "hardware" of the system is progressing, there is still room for improvement in terms of "operational rules" on how to effectively use it in the field, and the "quality aspect" of whether necessary data is sufficiently linked.
