(★)(´DU-0008´ es mismo libro.)(To most westerners, Japan is a curiosity. The first (and only) non-western country to achieve modernity as we know it, Japan stands out for its fusion of successful ambitiousness and strict traditionalism. One way this uncommon character can be investigated --and understood-- is through the study of Japanese education. In this book sixteen articles by Japanese and American experts explore the entire process by which the culture transmits itself across the generations --not just the schooling of individuals. Historical and sociological in approach, the essays are divided into three groups. Part I goes back as far as a century to the roots of Japanese education, including the formation of modern Japan, militarism, and the American postwar occupation ; Part II views selected contemporary problems, such as entrance examinations, student movements, educational reform, and minority groups ; and Part III points out possible future directions for Japanese education. ◆Editor Edward R. Beauchamp has lived and studied in Japan. He is currently Associate Professor in the College of Education, the University of Hawaii. ▼CONTENTS／ ●PART I.
