The Concepts of Science in Japanese and Western Education.
Kawasaki, Ken
Science and Education, v5 n1 p1-20 Jan 1996
Uses structural linguistics to offer an impartial frame of reference to analyze science education in the non-Western world. Outlines the associative relation proposed by Saussure and investigates how it works in science education. Examines the problems peculiar to science education in Japan and argues that science education should be identified with foreign language education. (Author/JRH)
