[size=2]Japan fattens textbooks to reverse sliding rank[/size]
Officials say students are falling behind peers in South Korea and Hong Kong

TOKYO — When Mio Honzawa starts fifth grade next April, her textbooks will be thicker.

Alarmed that its children are falling behind those in rivals such as South Korea and Hong Kong, Japan is adding about 1,200 pages to elementary school textbooks, bringing the total across all subjects for six years from 4,900 pages today to nearly 6,100.

In a move that has divided educators and experts, Japan is going back to basics after a 10-year experiment in "pressure-free education," which encouraged more application of knowledge and less rote memorization.

"I think it's a good move. Compared to the education I got, I'm kind of shocked at the level my children are receiving," said Keiko Honzawa, a Tokyo resident and mother of Mio and her seventh-grade brother.

Japan's near-the-top rank on international standardized tests has fallen, stunning this nation where education has long been a source of pride.

The textbook debate mirrors one in the U.S., where new Common Core State Standards for math and English adopted by 37 states aim to strike a balance between teaching content and how to use that knowledge in everyday life and unify different state requirements. In both countries, sliding scores on tests such as the Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, given every three years to 15-year-olds around the world, have helped drive changes in educational guidelines.

For Japan, the debate reflects a deeper anxiety as the country struggles to find direction in a world where its influence has waned. Its once-powerful — and now stagnant — economy has been overtaken by China's, and political leaders are grappling with how to deal with a bulging national deficit and an aging, shrinking population.

[tt17]看来亚洲大部分地方都是应试教育啊~~~.[tt3].

哇~全是英文  偶看不懂[em07].

翻译下大致内容撒。。。.

大致的意思就是日本搞了10年的"无压力教育"也就是我们所说的愉快教育，当时目的是强调知识的运用和表达力的提高而不是单纯机械式的死记硬背如汉字和数学题的解答。终于又回到老路，书本又重新变得厚起来，小学6年的教科书课本的总的页数从4900页到近6100页，增加了大概1200页。日本有家长表示是好事，对自己的小孩-现在的日本小学生对比自己小学生时期学得如此之少，感到震惊。

日本曾经引之为傲的长期在国际标准化考试排名前列的位置已经明显下降。自愉快教育改革开始，日本学生在数学考试，科学科目和阅读理解力等排名一直在走下坡路

大环境又是日本经济长期停滞，最近经济总量被中国超过，老龄化，人口下降，国家赤字等一系列问题引发日本社会的强烈担忧。

60%增加的是科学和数学学科，变化还是5年级开始学梯形面积计算，6年级开始学电的知识点，跟据不同的年级，每周增加1-2小时学校学习时间，英语从7年级开始学改到5年级，10年前开始的愉快教育改革减少了传统学科学习时间，还要求教师每周花三个小时来回答来自学生诸如“睡觉的鸟为什么不会从树枝上的鸟窝摔下来”之类的问题。

当然还有不少争论，各种观点都有，总的说来原先砍的太多，当然日本学生排名总体还是算靠前的，相当数量的学生都有参加课外补习

回复 1#三月雪 的帖子

日本人从5年级才开始读英文呀，他们不是从娃娃抓起的。:o.

回复 6#shumi1 的帖子

每周增加1－2小时是什么概念呢？原来每天只上半天课而已，下半天在学校里边玩。你想看书，哼，不行。别的妈妈会抱团来告诫你，你抢跑了，这不好。

"Just adding pages to textbooks and pushing for more memorization isn't going to get us anywhere," argued Koji Kato, professor emeritus of education at Sophia University in Tokyo. "Japan needs to invest in developing thinking people for its future."
楼上删掉了不少东西哦。.

日本孩子幸福啊.

回复 8#胡搞八搞 的帖子

也不尽然。想进一流大学，下午玩好以后，回家背起书包上补习班到11、12点。因为这部分孩子将来要继承家产，当社长的。.
