A Research in the comparative vocational education system between Japan and Germany

本文试图通过对日本和德国职业教育体系的比较，为职业教育研究提供一个比较模型，具体来说，我们完成了三个方面的工作：一是考察学校职业教育与包括企业内部培训在内的校外职业培训的关系，分析日本和德国的具体情况，通过这三年的工作，我们可以看到，两国的职业教育体系虽然在危机中摇摇欲坠，但基本上是稳定的，尤其是在中等职业教育（日本的职业课程和德国的双元制）方面。我们认为这两种危机都意味着高等职业教育面临着相对数量减少和向粗放型发展的改革过程，同时我们也可以坚持我们的分析模型是功能性的，并在此提出了一个关于职业教育与培训历史发展的三维比较模型。

We have tried to compare the Japanese vocational education system with German one's and at the same time we would like to present one comparative model for vocational research.Concretely saying, we have accomplished three tasks, firstly to investigate the relationship between the school vocational education and outside school vocational training including training within firm and to analyze the substantial situations both in Japan and Germany, secondly to clarify the change of vocational education after 1990's, thirdly to construct a new theoretical model for the comparative vocational education.Through our work during these three years, we can point that both countries system fundamentally have been steady though they are very being fall down in the crisis, especially in the field of upper secondly vocational education (vocational course in Japan and dual system in Germany). We estimate that those both crises mean reformation process which face to the comparative quantitative decreasing tendencies of the number of students and to the extensive development toward higher vocational education.At the same time we can insist that our analytical model is so functional and here present a three dimensional comparative model concerning historical development for the vocational education and training.
