Enacting Moral Education In Japan Sam Bamkin by Sam Bamkin; instant download after payment.

Drawing on the case of moral education reform, this book provides an authoritative picture of how policy is enacted between state policymaking and school practice in Japan. The study follows the 2015 moral education reform from its genesis in central government, through the Ministry of Education to its enactment by local government and schools. The book looks beyond written policies, curricula, and textbooks to examine how teachers, school administrators, and others make sense of, and translate, policy into practice in the Japanese classroom context. Chapters explore how moral education practice has changed in response to the intentions of national policy and analyse the implications for understanding processes of policy enactment in the Japanese education system. This book presents a new perspective on the complexity of education policymaking, practice, and the gaps in between. It will be of interest to postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of education policy and politics, moral education, school administration, and international and comparative education more broadly, particularly in Asia.
