世論 What Japan Thinks

iShare got away from earthquake-related topics and instead took a look at continuting studying correspondence courses. The study was conducted in conjunction with Tokyo Legal Mind and their correspondence course program iCara powered by LEC.

Demographics

Over the 5th and 6th in July 2011 1,723 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 70.5% of the sample were male, 12.1% in their twenties and 87.9% in their thirties. All of them were businesspersons in fulltime regular employment.

The timing of this is rather apt for me as I have just started doing an online correspondence course on internet marketing. The course starts off with a 30-day build-your-first-business course, with tasks every day; today I have to write a 500 word product summary and a 250 word About page, so spinning this report out over two days will give me a bit of breathing space!

The second half of the survey starts off with the subset of the sample who managed to continue correspondence courses all the way to the end.

As you can see by comparing the results of Q2SQ8 from the previous part and Q2SQ14 in this part, it was those who set a definite duration for their studying that tended to see things through to the end. This is what I am hoping is going to happen with my course too.

Note that attending lectures for correspondence courses includes watching on DVD or online, not just, or not at all attending in person.

In Q2, doing a correspondence course while at school seems such an alien concept to me, but in Japan with cram schools being almost a necessity, more than likely most of the one in four who did correspondence courses as a child were studying for entrance exams.
