Japanese Model of Schooling - Comparisons with the U.S. (Hardcover)

In this book, Dr Tsuneyoshi observes the educational approach of two nations, one most often cited as being the "home of rugged individualism" and the champion of the free market, the other more often cited as being the most groupist amongst the industrialized societies, known for strong central guidance. He argues that the American approach individualizes assistance, is competitive, focuses the child's cognitive sphere, differentiates its faculty and that each faculty deals with the child in a specialized sphere. Meanwhile, the Japanese approach stresses the whole child, places children and faculty in close proximity with each other, reward structures are extensively organized and the school provides the same treatment for all. Yet despite such differences, Dr Tsuneyoshi points out that we can notice many parallels both in the contexts of education, and in the direction in which the two societies are headed.
