The primary objective of graduate research conducted in the final year of training curriculums for school nurse teachers (SNTs) is “to enhance learning outcomes by selecting an interesting topic in a specialized area and studying it in a self-directed manner" ‘ It is expected that students develop an ability to implement a task with enhanced awareness and motivation in their future workplaces by conducting graduate r esearch as a summary of their learni ng experiences at the university This study analyzed research areas , motivations, subjects , and methods , involving a11 students (29) the author supervised over the past 4 years (school years 2006/07 to 2009/10). As a result, it was demonstrated that most students aiming to become SNTs were mainly int erested in topics related to health , society, and education. The majority of research methods were literature and ques ti onnaire studies. Primary motivations for research included: training outside the university; classes; and experiences of their own , friends , and acquaintances. Further, th ere was a tendency for research themes and key issues to include new topics peculiar to each year ; therefore , it may be necessary for supervisors to actively deepen th eir knowledge of related areas , such as h ealth-related issues. It may also be necessary to exa mine appropriate methods t 。 guide students who change th eir research themes afterward, in addition to efficient supervision (scheduling, timing of guidance, etc ,).
