Recently in Japan, most secondary schools are conducting work experience in career education. To clarify its meaning, this study reviews the history of career education in Japan first. On this basis, I review the change of treatment and meaning of work experience in the history of career education. The result shows three essential meanings of work experience; 1. Cultivation of work ethic and work value, 2. Understanding of aptitude and interest, 3. Acquirement of vocational understanding and skill. To ensure their theoretical background, this study adopts Super's career development theory and social learning theory. However, I find these theories are not sufficient to figure out unified meaning of work experience. Thus, this study discusses the viewpoint of Legitimate Peripheral Participation and tries to figure out unified meaning of work experience.
