The purpose of this study is to examine students' career decision-making processes in "Sogo Gakka" senior high school. As part of recent educational reform policies in Japan, "Sogo Gakka" has been founded to help students formulate career decisions based on their own interests by adopting a system that permits students to create their own curriculum. Since previous studies focused almost exclusively on how the system controls students' career decisions, these studies did not successfully consider the effect of individual students' daily school experiences on their career decision-making process. This study was designed to investigate how students' daily school experiences influence the processes and mechanisms of students' career decisions through the use of questionnaire/interview. The findings of this study revealed that (1) the only students who are able to make their career decisions based on their interests are those students who attached great importance to their interests at the beginning of their school life, and that, (2) students who placed less importance on incorporating their interests in their career path at the beginning of their school life are more likely to become confused by the process of career determination. In sum, the former are able to make good use of the system, and latter are not able to do that. Results indicated that in the present condition "Sogo Gakka" functions effectively only for a limited type of students, those who have already decided their career paths based on their interests at the beginning of their school life. The implications of these findings and suggestions are discussed. Furthermore, there is a strong possibility that recent high school reform policies such as "Sogo Gakka" may not function effectively and that there is much room for improvements of these recent policies. Recommendations for improving the current system of "Sogo Gakka" are presented as are suggestions for future research to develop.
