The Roots of Japanese Educational Achievement: Helping Children Develop Bonds to School.
Lewis, Catherine C.
Educational Policy, v9 n2 p129-51 Jun 1995
Japanese schools succeed in promoting student achievement because they meet children's human needs, thereby fostering strong, positive emotional bonds between child and school. Several factors make Japanese schools extraordinarily responsive, including their whole-child, values-rich pedagogy; caring, supportive community; group orientation; and stress on reflection (Hansei) and values-oriented discipline.
