Teaching in Japan Reviews

"This valuable book combines examination of current educational reforms in Japan with an ethnographic account of the actual experience of two beginning teachers. Interwoven throughout is an analysis of postwar reforms, plus comparative perspectives on pedagogy in Japan and in the U.S... Although Japanese schools have undergone several waves of reform in the postwar world, the ethnographic study, which constitutes the second half of the book, clearly demonstrates that the culture transmitted both by beginning and experienced teachers continues to stress traditional values. Recommended for general readers and upper-division undergraduates and above." -- Choice October 2002
