| Research Abstract |
Through this research, I investigated processes in which Japanese government officially announced in their policy documents that Japan had completed catching up with 'the West' and the influences of having such social recognition on education policies after that recognition was built up. The research found that the widely recognized perception of 'the end of catching up with the West' contributed to constituting the way in which education issues were socially constructed as problems of 'developmental state' such as its excessed centralized education administration systems and cramming knowledge type of teaching and learning in school. The research also revealed that views from overseas researchers such as Ezra Vogel, the author of "Japan as Number One", impacted on the ways of constructing the recognition of the end of catching up with the West among policy makers.
