1、 Education, which is universally hailed as the ladder of human progress, has been an everlasting topic throughout humans developing history. However, in view of the differences between regions which attributes to the variations in culture, the structure of society, development degree and etc, educat
2、ion varies among countries. Consequently, as widely reported and discussed by the press nowadays, there is a striking difference between china and the west. With the increasing number of Chinese parents who sends their children go abroad for study, a great many of people exclaim that the west educat
3、ion is superior to Chinese education whereas , some still maintain that Chinese education is worth spreading to some extent. Having referring to lots of information about Chinese and the west education online, and having watching a BBC documentary took not long before in which 5 eminent Chinese teac
4、hers who insist that Chinese education is the best and attempt to conquer British students with Chinese education, I concluded 6 differences between Chinese education and the west education.First of all, Chinese education and the west education adapt dissimilar teaching model. In china, the interact
5、ion between teachers and students is quite serious. Teachers are the superiors of the students. thus Chinese students are required to show their respects to their teachers and not be encouraged to doubt the knowledge they received. On the contrary, in the west, students have a comparative equal rela
6、tionship with their teachers and they are welcomed to question their teachers. Thats the reason why in the BBC documentary, the 5 teachers, who are respected in china unexpectedly have problems handling with the discipline in Britain class. Second, Chinese education and the west education apply for
7、pretty different class teaching. In Chinese teaching class, the process of knowledge transfer is more like a teachers monologue, almost without students involvements. Taking notes and trying to understand whats going on in the screen Is all the Chinese students do while having class. However, Wester
8、n education is based on Child centered learning, community methods . that is to say, instead of telling students what theory or principle behind a natural phenomenon directly, they prefer to guide them explore the truth by themselves. Its beneficial to cultivate students interests in a subject and n
9、aturally lead students to think independently. In the BBC documentary, the Chinese science teacher only focus on delivering knowledge directly while teaching, which disappoint the west students a lot. Plus, class hour is another striking difference in class teaching. In the west, the average class h
10、our is 6-8 hours and more hours are given to students for extracurricular activities or self-exploration in study, while in china, its 10-12hours, which is just like a long studying marathon, restricting students to mere study, exhausting students easily.Third, examinations system amid china and the
11、 west are separately designed. In china, whether a student can be admitted into an outstanding senior high school or college is typically depended on one examination, which is called zhong kao or gao kao. in the west ,however, for students in the west, every single test will be an reference standard
12、 for their academic performance, which avoid fortuity for academic achievements.Besides, teaching contents differ a lot. Chinese education put emphasis on theoretical teaching, neglecting the significant importance of practice, whereas, the west education cares much about operational capability. Fur
13、thermore, Chinese education and the west education have diverse expectations upon their students. Typically, deeply influenced by the rooted-conception that education serves as a tool to alteration ones fate, almost every Chinese couple has a high expectations upon their children, which, to some deg
14、ree, mislead the orientation of Chinese education. Nevertheless, in the west, parents pay more attention to educations function of cultivating students characters, self-care ability, independent thinking and etc on the ground of their national culture. Finally, Id like to mention a conspicuous diffe
15、rence existing in Chinese and the west educationhome education. This is kind of embarrassing but authentic situation in which most Chinese parents are not as well-educated as most western parents. Thus, Inevitably, Chinese parents lack of instructive methods to teach their children properly and effe
16、ctively. In addition, having a deficiency in education, a great deal of Chinese parents may not possess the proper values which may easily cause a negative impact on their children s life. Theres no deny that Chinese education exists many flaws while western education do have plenty of advantages that worth learning. However, the bias that people hold for Chinese education is beyond me. They are forever talking about the robot-like learning process, the defic
