(★)(In this book, Ryoko 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 and known for strong central guidance. She argues that the American approach to education individualizes assistance, is competitive, and focuses on the child´s cognitive sphere. The U.S. differentiates its faculty, each faculty dealing with the child in a specialized sphere. Meanwhile, the Japanese approach stresses the whole child and places children and faculty in close proximity with each other for extended periods of time in a cooperative framework. Yet, despite such differences, Dr. Tsuneyoshi points out that we can notice many parallels, both in the context of education, and in the direction in which two societies are headed. She brings to light both similarities and differences, asking and attempting to answer the difficult question all educators must ask : What do we need to teach children for the 21st century? Ryoko Tsuneyoshi is a professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Tokyo. ◆CONTENTS ▼Chapter 1 -- Patterns of Childrearing : Legacy and Change ▼Chapter 2 -- The Basic American and Japanese Models of Schooling ▼Chapter 3 -- The Basic Patterns at Work ▼Chapter 4 -- The Emergence of the Japanese School Model ▼Chapter 5 -- The Japanese Model under Siege ▼Chapter 6 -- Newcomers in the Japanese Classroom : Implications for Change ▼Chapter 7 -- Parallel Issues and Concerns : Japan and the United States) |
