Features: The purpose of this book is to explore the characteristics of China's "research-based learning," "inquiry-based curriculum," and Japan's "integrated learning time" through comparison. The authors of each chapter held two seminars in Shanghai and Osaka in 2004 on the topic of "urban school reform and curriculum development in schools." Additionally, we had the opportunity to visit Shanghai Jing'an Primary School and Shanghai Wenlai Junior High School. Not only did we observe the teaching activities of "research-based learning" in these two schools but also interviewed the teachers. This book is based on the information and insights obtained at that time for comparative research.
