The purpose of this study isto introduce and discuss the development and implementation of the graduate-level teacher training,in collaboration with the prefectural programme. In doing so, this study focuses on the attempt of developing and implementing the graduate-level teacher training programme named “Educational Issues Training (Implementation of “Learning Cycles for Teachers”),” which was organised by the Hyogo University of Teacher Education,in collaboration with the Hyogo Prefectural Institute for Educational Research and In-service Training in 2019. Specifically, this study explains the characteristics of the programme, and discusses the evaluation of it by analysing the interviews with the instructors and the participants, and the questionnaires with the participants. In the discussions, this study addresses the following results; a) the instructors and the participants both believed that it was difficult to understand the concept of the reflection based on the ALACT model on the first day but it was possible on the last day of the programme, b) the instructors and the participants both believed that it was meaningful to use the topics of inclusive education and multicultural coexistence for learning about the reflection, and c) the programme may have been effective in offering opportunities for participants to reflect on their experiences with teachers with diverse backgrounds. In conclusion, this study indicates three hypothesises related to the above three results and points out that it will be necessary to analyse and consider these hypothesises from various points of view in the future study.
