The Japanese Educational System
[ send
me this paper ]
A 17 page research paper examining the Japanese educational system, focusing on
the government-controlled elementary curriculum. Though the Japanese high school
system is in reform to upgrade their levels of achievement scores in the
humanities, the entire world is aware that the Japanese scores in science and
mathematics are consistently the highest in the world. A prime reason for the
success of Japanese schools in these areas are the sense of self and pride in
any task instilled in the elementary years. The elementary program of Japan
shares many parallels with the Montessori method, which has gained popularity in
the United States in recent years. Bibliography lists 8 cited and 2 general
references.
