Two Key Variables That Are Highly Associated with Japanese Culture

Two key variables that are highly associated with Japanese culture contribute to the success of the hypothesis-experiment-instruction method in Japan. These two key variables are:

A) passive participation by some of the students (thus allowing the more active students to lead the class) and acceptance of large class size.
B) teachers who create a classroom climate where students who have the wrong answers are not called on and embarrassed, and verbal students who avoid taking up class time by allowing the quiet students to speak.
C) the creation of a classroom climate where students feel comfortable making mistakes in front of their peers, and students who are predisposed to learn from their peers.
D) active participation by every student in the class and active direction by a teacher who consistently uses the lecture format.
