Outline of Final Research Achievements

Over the course of four years, this study has revealed the following general points. (1) Japan’s shift to intense war footing during the Asia-Pacific War constructed a new element of national education: an enormous number of non-elite working young people being educated to engage in project-like problem-solving activities while being encouraged to have a strong awareness of the confrontation between imperial Japan and the world. (2) These problem-solving activities were aimed at developing general purpose technologies to solve public problems, primarily focusing on improving their ordinary working environments, and (3) in this sense, Japan’s adoption of intense war footing encouraged the general public to become engineers.
