Research Abstract |
This study analyses non-fiction materials in post-war Japaneseelementary school textbooks and examines the transformations of a normative image ofan ideal person and the ability of the Japanese language. Educational materials until the early 1970s emphasised on creating a civilised nation, contributing to modernisation, importance of studying, effort and valuing others. In contrast, after themid-1970s, educational materials ceased to display normative images of the ideal person and increasingly criticised modernisation. In the post-war reconstruction period,textbooks adopted Yukichi Fukuzawa as a model for the establishment of democracy andas a symbol of the spirit of the Japanese who set their sights on the world. Whenmodernisation issues such as pollution emerged, textbooks began to feature ShozoTanaka.
