The Asian Studies Consortium: An Innovative Approach To Study In Japan, Susan Coleman, James L. Narduzzi, Jonathan Lawson, Guy Colarruli

School of Professional and Continuing Studies Faculty Publications

Japan's dramatic re-emergence as a world power in the '80s led a num­ber of U.S. colleges and universities to incorporate courses on Japanese history, politics, culture, management practices and language into their curricula. Simultaneously, there has been a flurry of activity to develop study abroad experiences in Japan to expose American students to Japa­nese culture and language. Chambers and Cummings (1990) document ap­proximately 90 programs involving a U.S. school and a Japanese partner. For a variety of reasons a number of these ambitious ventures have not been entirely successful.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Global education is a curriculum which is creating considerable debate among educators and lay people.

Therefore, it is important that the attitudes of educators toward global education and the implementation of global education be studied.

Japanese And American Education: A Comparative Study, Naomi R. Mercer

Honors Theses

While living in Japan as an exchange student, many different aspects of Japanese culture, especially the Japanese education system, fascinated me. Their system demanded so much from children and determined the paths their lives would take based upon two or three long and complicated tests. My college friends had obviously survived the rigors of the schools system and, as I eventually realized, succeeded. All of the publicity that Japanese education received in the United States as a model system made me curious to know whether the stories in magazines and on the 6 o'clock news held any truth or if …
