中国教育与外国教育的不同（英语）

Answer 1

中国教育与外国教育的不同：

一、概念历史不同：

1、中国教育开始于中国古典著作，而不是宗教组织。早期中国任用受教育的官员管理国家，用来选拔官员的科举考试制度建立于隋朝，唐朝的唐太宗完善科举制。直到清朝末期的1905年废除，代之以中西方结合的特色教育方式。

2、外国教育管理史是一门新兴的学科。它的产生与发展为教育史科学群体又增添了一个新的“成员”，是教育史由通史向专题史（或专业史）分化的一个历史进程，也是教育史知识积累和横向发展的必然结果。

二、教育理念不同：

1、国内的学生往往有惊人的记忆能力和良好的数学基础，这也是中国学生能在应试教育中取得佳绩的原因，但是国外的高等教育更多地要求学生去参与、实践、创造，许多课程都安排有案例学习与讨论的时间以及学生进行案例分析与陈述等以学生为中心的教学活动。

2、外国的课堂气氛非常活跃，学生可以随时打断老师的讲课并提问。外国的教育体制更看重学生的全面发展，看重学生与人沟通、交流等社交活动的能力，培养学生的团队意识；而国内学生更看重的是考试成绩和自我发展、提高方面，团队意识不强。外国高等教育重视信息素养能力标准，要求每一个学生在学习的过程中能够主动学习，通过各种渠道来搜索信息，确定实际而全面的计划，有条不紊地自我吸纳知识。

Answer 2

Chinese education has a long history, of which each period has quite different features. Western education also has constantly and complicatedly developed. In consequence, there are too many detailed differences. Instead of all the formal discrepancies I think it is more meaningful to focus on the core difference nowadays—the difference of teaching ideas between these two systems.In China, from kindergarten, children are told to remember what they are taught. There is a widely accepted idea that whatever said by “teachers” or printed on books is unquestionable (in fact, no one would bother to question it, maybe because of laziness), and the teachers expect the students to do whatever they ask them to do. If the students doubt what the teachers said, the teachers will be embarrassed and offended. Students are allowed to asked questions which are closely related to what they are taught and which will be considered worth answering. If one’s question is too tricky, his teacher will be unhappy and may refuse to answer it. To put it simple, in China, students are expected to “remember what it is” and don’t ask too many “why”s. The teachers’ teaching ability is judged according to the scores of the students. Things are different in western education system, where more emphasis is put on skills and creative thinking rather than learning by rote. Teachers are expected to interact with their students during classes, and it is believed that the more interactions there are during a class, the more valuable the lesson is. Questions, interruptions and even arguments from the students are greatly encouraged. The ways in which the students learn are more valued than the knowledge they gain from classes.
