In the age of educational information accompanied with the introduction of new learning paradigm, the role of teacher is changing from that of a conductor to the similar one of a gardener. It is widely requested to perceive a qualified teacher as the one who can provide proper guidance to students in need.
Such perception should be applied to the autonomous in-school learning promotion activities, as had been to teaching activities so far. It is evident that provisions, data and conditions should be provided for teachers to acquire and utilize information well-met for their needs in the age of educational information and to engage exclusively in teaching, free from the conventional directive way of educational promotion.
Vice school masters, among others, seem to be in the position to have firm understanding to and concern about the school information education and, by thus, to contribute positively to achieving the national goal of school information. In this context, the aim of this study is to find a new paradigm for in-school promotion of education based on IT by analyzing the anticipation of teachers toward vice school masters in terms of educational information, so that vice school masters, on the one side, can have clear sight on the given tasks and teachers, on the other, can be wholly involved in self-training to map out the direction of teaching with focus on the on-line guidance suitable to the educational information era.
