  • Policy Formation and Implementation of School Choice Reform in Japan: an Example of Local Adaptation of Educational Borrowing
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by GLIM IR Institution Repository Policy Formation and Implementation of School Choice Reform in Japan: An Example of Local Adaptation of Educational Borrowing Toshiyuki Omomo Gakushuin Women’s College Naoshi Kira Toyo University INTRODUCTION This study examined policy formation and implementation of school choice reform at the compulsory education level in Japan. Because of global trends in governance reform, a variety of education reform initiatives, such as standards-based reform, ac- countability reform, etc., have been implemented across diff erent countries including Japan over the past few decades, and school choice reform is one of them. Distinctive features of governance reform over these decades included the diversifi cation of pro- viders, competitions among them, and consumers’ freedom, or parents’ freedom in the case of education. School choice reform is related to these features. A. Conceptual Framework and Literature Review The conceptual framework of this study comes from Gita Steiner-Khamsi’s work -- The Global Politics of Educational Borrowing and Lending (2004). In the Introduc- tion, Steiner-Khamsi fi rst mentioned that there was a trend to emphasize an interna- tional perspective in studying “privatization, decentralization, choice, and standards in education” (p. 1) as these reform movements were spreading around the world based on transnational borrowing and lending. She, then, pointed out that there was “[a] common misconception among practitioners” about the role of comparative education researchers as those who fi nd best practices to transfer from one system to another, which she described as a “normative, ameliorative approach” toward comparative studies.

New York t BUREAU OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL RESEARCH Michigan State University f East Lansing, Michigan I Copyright@ 1961 BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY East Lansing, Michigan Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 61-63703 i t , PREFACE • This study of some 18 American university affiliations with Japanese and Korean institutions is a small part of a larger study of the American university overseas. The larger study l is undertaken by the Institute for Research on Overseas Pro­ grams at Michigan State University. What is said here about programs in Japan and Korea can be compared with what other staff members of the Institute have saidabout programs in other countries, particularly other Asian countries such as India and !t Indonesia. , Many believe with ex-President Eisenhower that the American university should expand its foreign affiliations as a contribution t to economic and cultural reconstruction and development over­ seas, and to better international understanding between America and other countries. In this view, university affiliations are an j important type of "people to people" contacts across national boundaries. Others believe that the American university should f concentrate its limited manpower and resources on the domestic job it does best, and reduce the scale of its commitments abroad. Part of the decision (or compromise) between these viewpoints should be based on a knowledge of what the existing international programs are in fact attempting or accomplishing.

Paper : History Studies on Physical Education Promotion Policy for Young Men's Association in the Taisho Era: Focusing on the Administrative Process in Tokyo Prefecture* Yuta Ono and Hidenori Tomozoe Faculty of Sport Sciences, Waseda University 2-579-15 Mikajima, Tokorozawa, Saitama 359-1192 Japan y-ono.sps＠aoni.waseda.jp *Original article published in Japan J. Phys. Educ. Hlth. Sport Sci. 60: 449-465, 2015 (in Japanese) [Received March 21, 2018; Accepted November 13, 2018; Published online November 22, 2018] The Young Men's Association (YMA) was an education institute that provided programs and further education for young men. It aimed to train both mind and body, and valued physical education. However, in preceding studies, emphasis was placed on the consideration of the national stance that physical education should be promoted in the YMA, or on the consideration of the im- plementation status of physical education in the YMA in the local community. Speciˆc con- siderations on the policy and process of the local government liaising between national aim and region implementation were insu‹cient. This study aims to clarify the development process of the physical education promotion policy of the YMA, taking as an example the Tokyo Prefec- ture administration during the Taisho Era. As a result, the following points were clariˆed: 1) In the Local Governor Conference, no instruction on the speciˆc development method con- cerning physical education promotion of the YMA was given. Therefore, in each prefectural administration, policies needed to be formulated and implemented, taking into account the regional situation within the jurisdiction.

    Int. J. Sport Health Sci.

Phys. Educ. Hlth. Sport Sci. 59: 705-720, 2014 (in Japanese) [Received August 7, 2018; Accepted June 10, 2019; Published online June 24, 2019] This study evaluates the state of sports at the Fuchu YMA in Tokyo. To this end, the paper analyzed Fuchu Sports, a YMA-published newsletter that specialized in sports and was modeled on the popular sports magazine Asahi Sports. The publication of Fuchu Sport was an indica- tion of the strong interest in sports during the Taisho era (1912-1926). After the Ministry of Internal AŠairs and the Ministry of Education announced their directives promoting physical exercise, the Tokyo government hosted conferences on the development of sports and physical education in Tokyo YMA. Accordingly, Tokyo was a step ahead of other regions in Japan when it came to setting up YMA athletic clubs. The founding of the Fuchu YMA Athletic Clubs was mainly supported by the Fuchu YMA, but it also received funding from the local authori- ties and schools of Fuchu. When the Athletic Club recruited university students to become their coaches, the club's programming changed and its level of competitiveness went up signiˆcantly. Finally, the Athletic Club's collaborations with surrounding educational institutions, particu- larly school athletic clubs, led to remarkable successes in competition and expanded the club's philosophical mission.
