Features: This book takes the comprehensive learning currently being developed in Japan as its perspective, providing insights for China's educational curriculum reform by researching and discussing Japan's policies, theories, and practical research trends related to comprehensive learning. To enable Chinese educational theorists and practitioners to gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of Japanese comprehensive learning, the book begins by introducing the historical context of Japan's comprehensive learning, systematically explores the implementation policies, theoretical research trends, and practical development status of contemporary Japanese comprehensive learning, and elaborates on the objectives, content, teaching, and evaluation of its curriculum implementation from the perspective of the implementation process, offering some inspiration for Chinese educators. The book is divided into three parts: Part one explores the historical trajectory of the development of world comprehensive courses and the historical evolution of Japanese comprehensive learning from the perspective of historical changes, elaborating on the characteristics of contemporary comprehensive learning. The second part, combining theory and practice, researches and discusses the purpose and goals of comprehensive learning, the development and compilation of regional teaching materials, the methods and guidance approaches of curriculum implementation, and the perspectives and methods of curriculum evaluation. The third part discusses the administrative and operational system of contemporary Japanese educational curriculum, analyzes the cooperative teaching guidance system of comprehensive learning, and elaborates on the conditions for the effective implementation of comprehensive learning.
