Interpretation of the five characteristics of British education

Compared with China education, British education may give people the impression that it is more open, positive and equal, and pays attention to thinking training. The teacher mainly analyzed the characteristics of British education from the following aspects.

Feature 1: Game teaching

British educational habits integrate teaching into interesting courses, and the most typical model is to integrate games. For example, divide the class into several groups, simulate different companies competing for markets and resources in the same market environment, and let everyone bear different responsibilities. In this way, students have the subjective experience of running a company.

Feature 2: Case teaching

Case teaching in English teaching is especially obvious in business. For example, in class, a related video will be put after the theory is explained, and then the video will be analyzed and discussed in combination with the theory. This not only enlivens students' thinking, but also deepens their impression of the theory.

Feature 3: Teamwork ability

British education intends to cultivate students' teamwork ability, which has a lot to do with the recruitment model of British companies. Companies in Europe and America attach great importance to a person's teamwork ability. Therefore, in English teaching, almost every subject will have group assignments, and everyone will conduct research together, assign tasks and communicate with each other when writing papers. However, this does not mean that attaching importance to team ability does not attach importance to individual independence ability. In addition to team tasks, there will be individual tasks. Therefore, British education takes into account both individual ability and teamwork ability.

Feature 4: Speech skills and ability.

In British education, students often deal with PowerPoint, because on many occasions, they are asked to give a speech. Or some of them are not formal speeches, but they also need to go to the stage to explain. During the speech, the teacher will also ask for body language, eye contact and so on. In addition, in British education, students are encouraged to speak and ask questions in class. So as to cultivate students' critical thinking ability and summative thinking ability.

Feature 5: investigation and research ability

Whether it is a small thesis or a graduation thesis, a large number of practical investigations are needed. These surveys require you to actually visit specific places, consult a lot of books and participate in the real environment.

Generally speaking, British education pays more attention to cultivating students' thinking ability, expression ability and research ability, rather than sticking to book knowledge. It cares more about whether students can really apply what they have learned. This also reflects the practicality and efficiency of British education.
