NOTA (★)(In ´Inequality´ Christopher Jencks et al. documented the failure of American schools to bring about the egalitarian social change educational reformers had hoped they would. In this study of education in postwar Japan, William Cummings shows how the Japanese have succeeded where the Americans failed. He considers the egalitarianism that pervades the curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher-pupil relationship in Japanese schools. He then explains how and why the schools both promote equality in the skills, motivations, and values of their pupils and contribute to leveling the social structures these youths enter once they leave school. On the basis of direct personal observation in the classroom, systematically gathered data, and extensive reading in primary sources, the author provides a rich description of how a society can be gradually transformed by the educational process in its schools. He then relates this process to the problems of the advanced industrial world. Not only does Dr. Cummings discuss how early attitudes are shaped by teachers dedicated to the humanistic and self-actualizing goals of education and the moral development of the student ; he also highlights the tension between these goals and the elites´ view of education as a means for training a skilled labor force to enter high-level positions in government and industry. William K. Cummings is Project Specialist in Educational Research at the Ford Foundation Field Office in Indonesia. ◆CONTENTS ▼Chapter 1 -- Transforming Society by Education ▼Chapter 2 -- The Background for Change ▼Chapter 3 -- The Government and the Teachers´ Union ▼Chapter 4 -- The Importance of Class and Family ▼Chapter 5 -- Egalitarian Education ▼Chapter 6 -- Cognitive Equality ▼Chapter 7 -- The Development of the Egalitarian Sentiment ▼Chapter 8 -- The Examination Competition ▼Chapter 9 -- Equalizing Society ▼Chapter 10 -- The Lessons of Japanese Education)
