Mathematics Student Teaching In Japan: A Multi-Case Study, Allison Turley Shwalb
Mathematics Student Teaching In Japan: A Multi-Case Study, Allison Turley Shwalb
Theses and Dissertations
Nearly all research that seeks to assist in reforming mathematics student teaching in the United States has been limited in that it (1) does not consider student teaching models in non-Western cultures, and (2) has not sufficiently studied the unique context of mathematics in student teacher-cooperating teacher interactions. This multi-case study addresses these issues by analyzing the interactions between three cooperating teachers and two student teachers in the mathematics student teaching setting in Japan. Four conclusions are presented to generate a coherent picture of the principles of teaching and learning to teach that are emphasized during this Japanese student teaching …

Japanese Worldviews, Ideologies, And Foreign Aid Policy, Richard Warren Shannon
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This project studies the ideational factors influencing Japanese foreign aid policy.

The main goal of the research is to answer the question of how Japan's historical experiences with technology, development, and foreign relations (and key leaders' views of those areas) from 1850 to 1945 have influenced current aid policies. Second, the project aims to answer whether the Japanese development concepts of "modernization," internationalization and translative adaptation accurately reflect …
Japan's Missile Defense, Norifumi Namatame
Japan's Missile Defense, Norifumi Namatame
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For some years, Japan has pursued its own missile defense system in cooperation with the United States. The Japanese government claims that the missile defense (JMD) program is purely defensive and will not pose a threat to other countries. JMD may seem justified by North Korea's development of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. However, neighboring states regarded it as a sign of military ambition and revival of Japan's prewar militarism. The development and deployment of JMD could have grave implications for regional and global security. This dissertation focuses on these implications, domestic and international political considerations and the future direction …
