2003年日本同情之根试点项目的实施是为了寻找事实证据，将加拿大学校教育方案“同情之根”移植到日本。该项目始于2002年。第一年是执行的必要准备阶段。2003年4月，我们开始在四个班级进行试点讲座。同时对实验组和控制组进行问卷调查和听课观察。2004年12月，实施工作结束，并于2004年3月完成了基于实施结果的研究。通过统计分析，实验班学生的婴儿发育知识和父母教养知识都有所提高.实验组的亲社会行为维持或增加。对照组的共情和学习自我效能感下降。许多参与者也更好地理解了他们的感受和他人的感受。这些教室在这个项目之后可以创造更好的气候。欺凌倾向得到遏制，班级向心力提高.所有的学生都认为这个节目很有趣.课堂教师对该计划的评价是积极的。婴儿的家人评论说，这个计划的参与给他们自己的父母带来了积极的影响。学生家长评价说，参加这个项目有助于他们孩子的发展。我们需要修改日语课程。我们需要一个独特的和特殊的培训计划。考虑到日本人的情感表达、对人权的认同等。我们认识到日本和加拿大之间的合作问题以及将该计划推广到日本的组织问题。我们还认识到需要专业咨询小组。
