研究実績の概要 |
Close collaboration with cultural psychologists clarified alternative approaches to well-being found in Japan (and other parts of East Asia). Viewed from this perspective of difference, it became possible to view new global measurements (for example, the OECD's PISA 2015 results) as theoretically and culturally too narrow, rather than a Japanese or East Asia deficit. This central finding afforded a series of strong research results. Concretely, an initial paper was published in one of the leading Anglo-American journals of education (Journal of Education policy), a contract was signed for a full-length book on the issue (Palgrave), and I was invited to present findings to members of the Central Council of Education (July 2022), UNICEF (September 2022), etc.
