Holistic Approach in Education of Geido

作为日本的一种教育体系，艺道一直是日本传统的教育模式。它与来自西方教育范式的现代学校教育体系在风格上有很大的不同。从“整体主义”的角度来看，日本艺道教育的特点可以被描述为两种本质上不相容的理论的平衡结合，即以获取专业知识和技能为目的的“做”理论和以佛教为基础的“kokoro”理论。通过对各地区传统表演艺术实例及其历史的考察，成功地勾勒出了艺道的这些特征。

Geido, an education system in Japan, has been persisting as a traditional Japanese educational paradigm. It is quite different in its style from the modern school education system that comes from the Western educational paradigm. Observed from the vantage point of "holism," features of geido education in Japan can be described as being in a well-balanced combination of two intrinsically-incompatible theories, which are do theory that aims at acquiring knowledge and skills of the specialty and kokoro theory that is based on Buddhism. These characters of geido have been successfully laid out in the study through examinations into examples of traditional performing arts in various regions and into their histories.
