明治十年代における教育政策の転換とその地方への浸透過程 : 宮城県の場合を中心として

The object of this paper is to make analysis of the change of Educational Policies of the 10th Period of Meiji Era and the process of its penetration into the local community, based on the historical materials in Miyagi Prefecture, (chapter I.) After the Meiji Restration, the public educational system in Japan was set in 1872\u27s educational Act, called "Gakusei", the first Japanese nation-wide educational Ordinance. Japanese education set out the road to modernization. So each prefecture made its own schooling plan. In chapter II, I examined how the educational plan was drafted under the provision of "Gakusei" in the case of Miyagi Pref., and then how the plan developed under the conditions of the local community. As a result, I found that in spite of the equal opportunity of education under the new school system, inequality by social status and sex, etc existed. In chapter III, I analyzed the change-process of educational policies, from "Gakusei" to "Kyoikurei" and the local government educational policies in the 10th period of Meiji Era. In chapter IV, I refered that "Kyoikurei", the educational Ordinance of 1879, was severly criticized for its liberalistic texture and its localism in the educational Administration by the Emperor Meiji and people surrounding him, as well as local government administrators. Kono, minister of Education, was ordered to make a survey the educational conditions in the local community. And then "Kyoikurei" was denied by him and "Kaisei-Kyoikurei", educational Ordinance of 1880, acted. This ordinance ordered tightening of government supervision, control of carriculum, enforced moral education and strengthning of administrative organization in local districts. Therefore, we cannot call the process of the modernization of Japanese education in the real meaning of the word. Again, this educational policies provided a background of the establishment of the Meiji constitution and the Emperor system of Education. This conclusion was written in the last chapter V
