The American Perception of Japanese Education.
Cummings, William K.
Comparative Education, v25 n3 p293-302 1989
Traces the development of U.S. interest in Japanese education. Lists myths, exaggerations, and cautiously acknowledged strengths of Japanese education in American commentaries. Suggests that Japanese educational practices have had little impact on American education, partly because of a lack of truly comparative studies. Contains 19 references. (SV)
