(*)(Edited and Translated by Steven Platzer) (★)(´DU-0057´es mismo libro.)(Japanese schools are widely admired for their success in instilling high levels of literacy and numeracy in the population at large. In human terms, however, with cutthroat competition for admission to prestigious schools, textbook censorship and other forms of control by the government, and insulated and regimented institutions, the educational system since the nineteenth century has also served to repress individual creativity and freedom in the interest of producing foot soldiers for Japan´s state and growing economy. In this book a noted scholar reviews the history and mechanisms of state control as practiced in modern Japanese education, and contrasts them with his vision of a freer education that measures success in terms of lifelong learning and nurtures the rights of both students and teachers to pursue knowledge for its own sake. Professor Horio´s work illuminates not only Japan´s educational system but more than a century of intellectual history, with its intertwining themes of freedom and control. ◆Teruhisa Horio, Emeritus Professor of Educational Thought at the University of Tokyo, teaches at Chuo University. Steven Platzer is an independent scholar who has taught Japanese history and culture. ▼CONTENTS : 1.The Crisis in Japanese Education Today, PART I - The Intellectual Legacy of Japan´s Educational History, Introduction to PART I, 2.The Ideological Conflict over Scholarship and Education during the Meiji Enlightenment, 3.Education and Human Cultivation in the Emperor-State, 4.Democratizing Education and Liberating the Japanese Spirit, 5.Education and Law in Postwar Japan : The Problem of Continuity and Change, PART II - Education in the Courtroom and Teachers´ Struggles for Professional Autonomy, Introduction to PART II, 6.Textbook Control on Trial : The Sugimoto Decision, 7.Textbook Authors on Trial : The Takatsu Decision, 8.The Ministry of Education´s Scholastic Achievement Test : Economic Growth and the Destruction of Education, 9.The Structure of Educational Authority : A Critique of the Supreme Court´s Ruling in the Scholastic Achievement Test Case, 10.The Struggle to Control Teachers´ In-service Training, 11.Student Evaluation and Personal Control : The ´Naishinsho´ Decision, PART III - Individualism and Egalitarianism in Japanese Education : Myths and Realities, Introduction to PART III, 12.Equality and Individuality in Education : Towards a Reformation of Democratic Values, 13.The Ideology of Ability-First and the Distortion of Meritocracy, 14.Conflicting Approaches to the Reform of Japanese Schooling : Economic Liberalization versus Educational Liberation) |
