随着日本所谓的第三次对外开放（或国际化）、全球化浪潮以及对日本民族文化认同方向的关注，最近在学校中推广了“国际理解教育”和“全球教育”等名称的公民课程。大众媒体注意到了两股浪潮，一股是意识到日本社会的多样性和多元文化，另一股是明显的新民族主义。两者都被引入学校环境，造成相当大的紧张和不和谐。有人担心日本人身份的淡化，表现在学校强迫唱国歌，在仪式上要求升国旗，以及学校教科书的内容。本文探讨了日本公民教育的困境和方向，指出了教育机构在传播日本（多元）文化认同价值观方面可能的未来方向。
With the so-called Third Opening (or internationalisation) of Japan, the rush of globalisation, and a concern for the direction of national cultural identity in the Japanese nation, courses for citizenship have recently been promoted in schools with titles such as ‘Education for International Understanding’ and ‘Global Education,’ among others. Twin surges, one of an awareness of a diverse, multicultural Japanese society, and the other of an apparent neo-nationalism, have been noted in the mass media. Both have been introduced into school contexts, resulting in considerable tension and dissonance. Concern has been raised about the dilution of Japanese identity, manifesting itself in enforced singing in schools of the national anthem, required national flag-raising at ceremonies, and the contents of school textbooks. This paper explores dilemmas and directions for citizenship education in Japan, indicating possible future directions for educational institutions in the transmission of values for the Japanese (multi-) cultural identity.
