The fact that Japanese students consistently outperform other
nationalities on international tests of educational achievement has
made the Japanese educational system a leading topic for media
attention and evaluative study. This volume is a collection of
essays by Japanese and American scholars in the field of Japanese
education that presents a current systematic overview of this
system, its strengths, and its weaknesses.
Topics ranging from the history of Japanese education and its
recent reform campaign to the methods used to teach preschoolers
and elementary students, women, teachers, and engineers are the
primary focus of this study. Each contributor writes both within
his or her own specialty and with a view to those political,
social, and economic factors that affect the Japanese educational
climate. A look to the future of Japanese higher education, as well
as guidelines that can benefit educational systems in other
countries, conclude the work.
