Teaching in Japan (Hardcover)

This book explores two very probing questions: what sustains teaching in Japan, and what is pressing teaching to change, presenting a cultural perspective based on ethnographic data. The book is composed of two parts which together offer a broad and integrated view of teaching in Japan. Part One presents an up-to-date analysis of teaching in Japan, while Part Two offers a detailed ethnographic account of teaching as reflected in the process of learning to teach.
Such a fascinating book will be ideal for all those involved in Japanese studies or interested in international comparative analysis. The insights and discussions encased in this work offer a cutting-edge view of Japanese culture and their attitudes towards education and teaching.
