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

本文试图通过对日本职业教育体制与德国职业教育体制的比较，为职业教育研究提供一种比较模式。具体来说，我们完成了三个任务：一是考察学校职业教育与校外职业培训（包括企业内部培训）的关系，分析日本和德国的实际情况；二是厘清20世纪90年代以来职业教育的变化；三是构建一个新的比较职业教育的理论模型。通过我们这三年的工作，我们可以看出，两国的教育体系虽然在危机中都有很大的下滑，但基本上都是稳定的，特别是在高等职业教育领域（日本的职业课程和德国的双轨制）。我们认为，这两次危机都是高职教育面临生源数量相对减少趋势和高职教育广泛发展的改革过程。同时，我们可以坚持我们的分析模型是功能性的，在此为职业教育与培训的历史发展提供了一个三维的比较模型。

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.
