Download or read book Becoming Japanese written by Joy Hendry and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The children are more than mere pictures. They tell us the truths about Japan." So wrote a visitor to Japan at the turn of the century and this view underlies the title of this book. The first few years of a child's life are vitally imporant for preparing it to be a member of the society to which it belongs. Japanese methods of childcare are consequently directed towards taking advantage of the receptivity of the early years. They are also different in many ways from Western methods and much of the colorful detail in this book will be of great interest to mothers everywhere--from family beds and toilet training to the elaborate religious ceremonies of childhood. Joyn Hendry looks at customs and traditions, at rewards and punishments, and at the day-to-day life of children at home, at school, and in the wider world. Joy Hendry's research involved working with Japanese mothers and other care takers, and with kindergartens and day nurseries. She has drawn on the work of sociologists, psychologists and educationalists in English and Japanese, but the theoretical framework for the study is drawn from social anthropology.

Download or read book Preschool in Three Cultures Revisited written by Joseph Tobin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published twenty years ago, the original Preschool in Three Cultures was a landmark in the study of education: a profoundly enlightening exploration of the different ways preschoolers are taught in China, Japan, and the United States. Here, lead author Joseph Tobin—along with new collaborators Yeh Hsueh and Mayumi Karasawa—revisits his original research to discover how two decades of globalization and sweeping social transformation have affected the way these three cultures educate and care for their youngest pupils. Putting their subjects’ responses into historical perspective, Tobin, Hsueh, and Karasawa analyze the pressures put on schools to evolve and to stay the same, discuss how the teachers adapt to these demands, and examine the patterns and processes of continuity and change in each country. Featuring nearly one hundred stills from the videotapes, Preschool in Three Cultures Revisited artfully and insightfully illustrates the surprising, illuminating, and at times entertaining experiences of four-year-olds—and their teachers—on both sides of the Pacific.

Book Synopsis Women and Political Inequality in Japan by : Mikiko Eto
Download or read book Women and Political Inequality in Japan written by Mikiko Eto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are there so few Japanese women involved in the political system? In 2019, Japanese women made up 10% of the national Lower House, 21% of the Upper House, and 14% of local assemblies. According to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, this places Japan 164th out of 193 countries when it comes to women’s representation in the legislature. The percentage of women in the Lower House has only increased by fewer than two percentage points since women gained full suffrage and the right to stand for election in Japan in 1946. Eto analyses the various factors that have led to women’s low presence in the Japanese legislature. She evaluates ways in which it might be possible for Japan to catch up and, in doing so, examines how Japanese society continues to perpetuate gender-rigid expectations of people. This text is a valuable study for scholars of Japanese politics and society, and for readers with an interest in the broader issue of the representation of women in politics.
Book Synopsis MultiPluriTrans in Educational Ethnography by : Sabine Bollig
Download or read book MultiPluriTrans in Educational Ethnography written by Sabine Bollig and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnography has established itself as a key strategy of qualitative research in education, because it is so versatile, flexible, and ambiguous. Its growing importance coincides with an increasing diversity of »discovered« educational realities. In the process, many basic assumptions have turned into genuine tasks of research. Where are the places and times of learning, education, and social work to be found? Who are the actors and addressees? How are education and learning performed and enacted? The contributions to this volume discuss the multiple challenges that ethnographic research has to confront when exploring the multimodality, plurality, and translocality of educational realities.
Book Synopsis Childhood and Adolescence by : Uwe P. Gielen
Download or read book Childhood and Adolescence written by Uwe P. Gielen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive reference analyzes psychological and anthropological studies concerning child and adolescent development across cultures, digging into often-forgotten topics like street children, child soldiers, and parenting in war-torn countries. Traditionally, research on child and adolescent development has focused on American youth, inadvertently neglecting 96 percent of the world's children. This all-encompassing volume introduces global perspectives on young people across the globe, focusing on such topics as parenting and childcare, gender roles, violence against girls, adolescence in poor and rich countries, and developmental psychopathology across cultures. Recently updated, the second edition includes the latest findings in the field, additional content, and new photos and charts. With contributions from leading psychological and anthropological scholars, chapters address worldwide changes in children's lives, parent-child relationships, sibling relationships, immigrant children and their families, and adolescents in both industrialized and developing nations. A special section discusses children living in difficult circumstances, including street children, child soldiers, global nomads, and children suffering from various internalizing and externalizing disorders. This book is the perfect introduction to the latest trends in developmental psychology.
Book Synopsis Childcare Politics by : Byung-Ho Chung
Download or read book Childcare Politics written by Byung-Ho Chung and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines two of the main functions--the socialization of children and the politicization of adults--of day care centers in Japan. The first part of the study is a socio-historical analysis of the meaning and function of the day care system in Japanese society where the dominant values still run counter to it. It documents the process of: how the increasing labor market demands for working mothers has pressed the powerful conservatives to make a bargain with the progressives over the expansion of day care; how the establishment of the day care centers has become a political project of the progressive groups by shifting childcare issues from family to public; and, how the project of day care system has served the progressive political movements in contemporary Japanese society. The second part is an ethnographic study contrasting two day care centers in a small city in Hokkaido. It examines the ways in which the competing educational and political ideologies are reflected in the organization, space and time, and the programs. This ethnography highlights the process of how children are socialized differently in these centers. The focus is placed on what the centers do for the children in each community as a formal institution for early education and, at the same time, as a new communal place for living. It also investigates the politics of everyday life among the adults (parents, teachers, and administrators) in the centers. This thesis shows that day care centers have already become important locus of early socialization in Japan. As different political orientations compete in inducing further socio-political changes through early socialization in day care system, day care centers have opened a new arena for political and cultural conflict in defining the cultural ideals of family, motherhood, the homogeneity of Japanese society, and institutional child-rearing. By understanding how various discourses intersect at day care centers, this study discusses some of the contrasts and conflicts between the diverse and stratified paths of socialization of children and adults.
