In a globalized market where the emerging workforce will
increasingly travel within their nations and abroad for work
opportunities, it is valuable to learn about the international
education system and practices, to assess the competition. For
example, annual comparison of student performance is measured
across math and science subjects globally. What is not well known
is how geography educational systems compare around the world and
how student success in this subject translates to learning in other
courses or employment after graduation. The importance of geography
in our personal, professional, and civic lives is transparent when
one considers how finding one's way with a map, understanding of
world cultures, or identifying spatial patterns of disease spread
might influence the decisions we make. Written for a global
audience, this is the first English publication on geography
education in Japan, addressing some fundamental questions. What is
the nature of the geography educational systems in Japan? How does
the focus on content and skills in Japanese schools differ from
that in other countries? This book includes 25 authors from diverse
geography instruction and research experiences, making it an
authoritative publication on Japan's geography education system.
The contribution of this book to the larger geography educational
community is sharing the key strengths, concerns, and future of
this school subject in English, where previously most publications
were in Japanese. It will be a useful source for researchers and
teachers to understand Japan's evolving geography instruction in
the past, present, and future. The 21 chapters are organized into
themes, beginning with an overview of the geography education
system in Japan, followed by chapters that deal with regional
geography and fieldwork, teacher training, geography education's
contributions to society, and a comparative study of geography
education across multiple countries. The book ends with a vision of
geography education in the future.
