• The purpose of this paper is to analyze the transformation of the process of choosing subjects in a "Sogo Sentaku-sei" High School. "Sogo Sentaku-sei" or "Sogo Gakka" senior high schools have attracted much attention in recent educational reform policies, since they are different from the conventional senior high-school system, by allowing students to make their own curriculum. However, recent studies have pointed out that these schools in fact restrict a students' capacity to choose their own subjects, thereby going against the purpose of this policy. In order to properly carry out high-school reformation policies today, the causes of this phenomenon must be analyzed. This paper will attempt to investigate how and why these schools have come to restrict the students' capacity to choose their own subjects, based on ethnographic research at "A High School", one of the leading "Sogo Sentaku-sei" high schools in Japan. The results of the research are as follows : In the beginning, the teachers of A High School did not restrict students' choice of subjects. Eventually, however, restrictions were imposed because of the problem of time cards organization. Then a few years later, the teachers of the minor 'gakukei'-which are loose courses- allowed students to select their own subjects because they wanted to give specialized lessons and to secure enough schooltime for them. Major 'gakukei' teachers who couldn't control the subjects which students would be taught because of the number of students demanded to increase the number of credits of the obligatory subjects. This demand was related to the problem of the school's overall reputation of sending students to universities. In this way, the students' ability to choose their own subjects was restricted by both of individual teachers' interests and the problem of the school as a whole. These results suggest that the problem of curriculum includes the problem of school management and that it is difficult to change the curriculum, by introducing alternative educational institutions, such as 'Sogo Gakka'.
