The Basics in Japan: The Three C's.
Tsuchida, Ineko; Lewis, Catherine
Educational Leadership, v55 n6 p32-37 Mar 1998
Presents a portrait of Japanese elementary schools--stressing close human connections, social and ethical development, and an indepth curriculum--that differs profoundly from the U.S. mainstream media's version. In Japanese elementary schools, learning is cooperative; success depends on setting and meeting rigorous personal goals and performing well for the group. Japan's three C's--connection, cooperation, and content--are interdependent. (20 references) (MLH)
