| Research Abstract |
This research is an experimental study on comparative sociology based on historical method using newspapers as the main source of data. It revealed that ; (1) The Japanese students' negative attitude to the entrance examination competition has changed positive around 1980's. (2) The way of publishing examination result has been different between England and Wales since 1990's. (3) In the change of examination system during this ninety years, quantitative points of view has gradually been strengthened. (4) This change has relations to a gradual incorporation of the examination system into the whole education system in England, while it is related to a gradual separation in Japan.
It suggested that the viewpoint of "articles" is more effective than that of "discourses" in this type of research. It also suggested "comparison with the Japan-case" and "socio-cultural network analysis" as methods of analysis.
