This study assessed the extent to which information about Japan is taught in secondary world history classrooms in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. The sample used for this study was 475 world history teachers, randomly selected, in K-12 school districts scattered across Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. A 21-item questionnaire was mailed to each of the teachers. Responses were received from 195 teachers. The Statistical Analysis System (SAS) computer program for the social sciences was used to list the frequency distributions and to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and range for each of the variables taken from the questionnaire. From the study sample, it was determined that the amount of teaching time devoted to the study of Japan varies significantly among teachers. While world history teachers spend between six to seven class hours teaching about Japanese history, little time is given to teaching about Japan's economic growth or about its role as a world trade leader. Teachers reported that only about one-third of their students are likely to view an educational film or filmstrip on Japan, and few of their students hear guest lecturers on Japan. However, teachers rank the importance of teaching about Japan rather high. Only teaching about Russia and China were rated as more important topics. (SM)
