Constructed Aspirations: Decision-Making Processes in Japanese Educational Selection.

Peer reviewed

LeTendre, Gerald K. – Sociology of Education, 1996

Analyzes the decision making process used by Japanese middle school students and their parents for choosing a high school. Reveals that these decisions are highly affected by placement counseling. This process defines the students' choices, inculcates values, and offers sets of rationales for students to account for their decisions. (MJP)
