Divided into three parts tracing decades of change, the book begins by exploring the feudal background for the Gakusei during the Tokugawa era which produced the initial leaders of modern Japan. Next, Benjamin Duke traces the Ministry of Education's investigations of the 1870s to determine the best western model for Japan, including the decision to adopt American teaching methods. He then goes on to cover the eventual \"reverse course\" sparked by the Imperial Household protest that the western model overshadowed cherished Japanese traditions. Ultimately, the 1890 Imperial Rescript on Education integrated Confucian teachings of loyalty and filial piety with Imperial ideology, laying the moral basis for a western-style academic curriculum in the nation's schools.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: The Aims of Education for Modern Japan\u003cbr\u003e Part I: The Feudal Foundation of Modern Japanese Education\u003cbr\u003e Education of the Samurai in Tokugawa Schools: Nisshinkan\u003cbr\u003e Education of the Samurai in the West: London University and Rutgers College, 1863-1868\u003cbr\u003e The Meiji Restoration: Reemergence of Tokugawa Schools, 1868-1871\u003cbr\u003e Part II: The First Decade of Modern Education, 1870s: The American Model\u003cbr\u003e The Gakusei: The First National Plan for Education, 1872\u003cbr\u003e The Iwakura Mission: A Survey of Western Education, 1872-1873\u003cbr\u003e The Modern Education of Japanese Girls: Georgetown, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, 1872\u003cbr\u003e The Modern Japanese Teacher: The San Francisco Method, 1872-1873\u003cbr\u003e Implementing the First National Plan for Education: The American Model, Phase I, 1873-1876\u003cbr\u003e Rural Resistance to Modern Education: The Japanese Peasant, 1873-1876\u003cbr\u003e The Imperial University of Engineering: The Scottish Model, 1873-1882\u003cbr\u003e Pestalozzi to Japan: Switzerland to New York to Tokyo, 1875-1878\u003cbr\u003e Scientific Agriculture and Puritan Christianity on the Japanese Frontier: The Massachusetts Model, 1876-1877\u003cbr\u003e The Philadelphia Centennial: The American Model Revisited, 1876\u003cbr\u003e The Second National Plan for Education: The American Model, Phase II, 1877-1879\u003cbr\u003e Part III: The Second Decade of Modern Education, 1880s: Reaction against the Western Model\u003cbr\u003e The Imperial Will on Education: Moral versus Science Education, 1879-1880\u003cbr\u003e The Third National Plan for Education: The Reverse Course, 1880-1885\u003cbr\u003e Education for the State: The German Model, 1886-1889\u003cbr\u003e The Imperial Rescript on Education: Western Science and Eastern Morality for the Twentieth Century, 1890\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559344795928,"sku":"9780813569666","price":33.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-modern-japanese-education-constructing-the-national-school-system-1872-1890-paperback-softback-9780813569666","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
