Private Education Research Movement - Minkan Kyoiku Kenkyuu Undou

Japanese: 民間教育研究運動 - みんかんきょういくけんきゅううんどう

A movement in which teachers, educational scholars, researchers in various fields, and sometimes parents participate, independently researching education scientifically without financial support from the government, public organizations, corporations, or even teachers' unions, and constantly reforming and promoting educational practice. The term began to be used in the early 1950s, but at the same time it also came to be used to include educational movements such as life writing that were developed before World War II, mainly from the late 1920s to the 1930s. The private educational research movement was unique to the Japanese education world at that time, but there were similar movements prior to it and in other countries in relation to educational reform.

Japanese:

教職員，教育学者，各専門分野研究者，ときには父母も参加し，政府，公共団体，企業さらには教職員組合からの財政的援助を受けず，自主的に教育を科学的に研究し，たえず教育実践を改革･推進する運動。この語は1950年代前半から使用され始めたが，同時に第2次大戦前にさかのぼり，おもに1920年代末から30年代にかけて展開された生活綴方などの教育運動をもふくめて使用されるようになった。民間教育研究運動はこれらの時期の日本の教育界に独特の運動であるが，それに先立ち，あるいは諸外国にも教育改革との関係でこれに近い運動はあった。
