215Out-of-school activities among students from high schools affiliated with private universities: focusing on learning and extra-curricular activitiesThis paper clarifies the actual situation regarding extra-curricular activities and after-school learning of students who attend high schools affiliated with private universities, such high schools not being bound by university entrance examinations, based on questionnaire survey data.Students attending high schools affiliated with private universities have an advantage over other high school students in entering their affiliated universities. As a result, their high school life is not focused solely on studying for university entrance examinations, but they are also actively involved in various activities outside school, such as sports clubs and music classes, and after-school leisure activities such as volunteering.But what extra-curricular activities are these students involved in? What kind of extra-curricular activities do they actually engage in and to what extent? In addition, with regard to the utilization of the common after-school time, are students engaged in extra-curricular activities reluctant to engage in their studies?This paper analyses the question on the basis of a questionnaire survey conducted among students attending a high school that is highly selective about its student intake and is affiliated with a private university. Basic aggregate data will be used to make comparisons with the general high school population to determine the actual level of participation in extra-curricular activities.The analysis shows that a higher proportion of students at high schools affiliated with private universities participate in extra-curricular activities than other high school students. However, a higher proportion of students at high schools affiliated with private universities also attended cram school, confirming their enthusiasm for learning. Some of them are active both in their studies and in extra-curricular activities, and this reveals an image of students who are involved in after-school extra-curricular activities but do not neglect their studies. On the other hand, there was also a group of students who were not keen on both learning and extra-curricular activities, indicating that internal differentiation was taking place amongst the students at high schools affiliated with private universities.Momoko YAMAMOTO
