What is the difference between the American education method and the Chinese one?

Chinese primary education will develop the child's intellect, the child benefits of high scores as the primary goal; while in the United States, primary education has only one purpose: to cultivate the child's creativity.

2. Different attitudes toward grades

For a Chinese child, a bad report card can lead to pressure from all sides. In the U.S., however, each student's year-end report card is a private item. Parents don't put too much pressure on their children. Grades are much less important than ability in the minds of adults. In China, the goal of most students is to get high grades.

3. There is a difference in the concept of knowledge between the two countries:

Chinese education focuses on the accumulation of knowledge, instilling respect for knowledge and authority, and fostering the inheritance of knowledge and the construction of knowledge systems.

The United States, on the other hand, pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability to utilize knowledge, and focuses on cultivating students' questioning and critical spirit of knowledge and authority, as well as the expansion and creation of knowledge.

The two types of education express different attitudes toward knowledge: the static nature of Chinese education and the dynamic difference between the United States, which reflects the difference in the concept of knowledge between the two countries.

4. The two countries are different in the environment provided to the students:

American schools encourage children to do research from an early age, to develop the children's ability to research, the ability to independently deal with the problem, the ability to organize the research material, the movement of the research methodology.

While Chinese schools, under the constraints of test-based education and the influence of traditional concepts, adopt a two-stage strategy of laying a foundation at the primary stage and doing academic work at the advanced stage, which is disconnected from each other.

5. Different curricula in the two countries

For example, the study of foreign languages. In China, students have only one English language in their basic education (except for specialties). This is a uniform choice made by the education system for all students.

In the U.S., students have a much wider range of choices in moral education, including Spanish, developmental, and Latin. There are also classes that do not use textbooks in the U.S. They are often called "family life" classes, and they are often called "family life" classes, and they are often called "family life" classes.

6. Differences in education models and college entrance exams: Chinese heuristic education has the disadvantage of leading students to the "only answer" to a question by inducing them to find the "only answer".

The pedagogy in American schools, in addition to guiding students to understand and master the teacher's agreed-upon correct answers, also gives students the freedom to imagine and explore potential answers that are unknown to the teacher and the student, but which exist objectively.

In China, in addition to a few talents do not have to look at the "college entrance examination" scores, the rest of the "college entrance examination" scores for the admission of people to learn the most important, the only standard. But in the United States students year after year to participate in various types of exams in at least one test, a failure, love can be said; two failures, can be understood ...... Therefore, these test scores can be used as a very important admissions admission consideration standards.

7. The burden of study is different: the United States almost every week back to a day of vacation. In China, however, weekends can be taken over, and even colorful holidays can be overshadowed by heavy homework.

8. Family education is different:

1) American education hours of strict control, American parents will set a lot of rules, and the older the child the looser the control; Chinese parents on the contrary, when the child is spoiled, grow up every restriction, even college majors, love are interfered with.

2)American education emphasizes the cultivation of children's sense of responsibility, and this difference in education makes American children more self-reliant than their Chinese counterparts.

Suggested reform of China's examination system, teaching reform and student load reduction are three aspects of the overall reform of education, and the examination system is the key to "pulling a hair and moving". Only the test education changed, quality education can get really belong to their own space.

The United States is in the innovation of more than enough and the premise of the foundation is not enough to grasp the foundation to make up for the shortcomings. The situation in our country is just the opposite, we are more than the foundation but not enough innovation, so the improvement of education in our country must grasp the innovation to make up for the shortcomings.

Education is a cultural phenomenon, different education is a response to different cultural connotations, suitable for today's U.S. society, educational methods or education system is not necessarily adapted to China's current society. In short, what we need is a modern education that combines localization and internationalization. China's new education system is gradually correcting the shortcomings of education, and tending to become more diversified and internationalized, which is the fruit of the study of education. This is also our intention.
