The similarities and differences between Britain education and China education

1、The similarities and differences between Britain education and China educationCHAPTER .The Definition of Family Education and School EducationIntroductionNowadays， the society has entered the information age, and the world is full of competition. Technological competition, talent competition, in the

2、 final analysis is education competition. Education of a person has already begun from the time of his coming to this world. Different environment would produce different education effects. It is all said that children are the pillars of the nations future, and it is also shows that education of chi

3、ldren is the top priority of education in China. Only established the good foundation, the high-rise buildings can be survived. With the deepening the extent of globalization of education, education philosophy between countries is also constantly integrated. So, in such an atmosphere, the disadvanta

4、ges of childrens education in our country are reflected more and more obviously. Although in the new century, China has improved school education and family education for the children, but the gap still exists with Britain. My article, by way of analyzing the similar aspects and different aspects of

5、 childrens school education and family education between China and Britain, to obtain advantages and disadvantages of both of them, then find out the advantages of childrens education in China and take some methods to improve this phenomenon. The definition of family educationFamily education is tha

6、t parents and the elders implement the education to their children in family life.Family education is an important part of education, and it is the basis of school education and society education. Since the birth of a child, parents and the elders have begun to educate him. Family education follows

7、with the persons life, even if he enters the school and community, accepts different school education and social education, family education still exists from beginning to end. So family education is a lifelong education, and plays a foundation role in peoples life. The four pillars of education are

8、 learning to be a man, learning to do something, learning to study and learning to live together with others. The main task of family education is to grasp the childrens moral education and to teach the children how to be a man. If the children do not understand the basic principles of how to conduc

9、t themselves, so how to talk about ambition, and how to talk about the success when they growing up to an adult? Therefore, parents should pay attention to train the patriotic feelings, responsibility, and sense of duty, industriousness, frugality and life skills education of the children. If people

10、 want to make successful education respondents, parents and children need to harmonize, family and school need to harmonize, and this is an important key to make success. In any case, when educating the children, we must not ignore the role of parents.1.2 The definition of school educationSchool edu

11、cation is a kind of social activities. It is beard by a full-time staff and specialized agencies, which has purpose, systematic, and organized. School education wants to influence the physical and mental development of the educated as a direct target. In general, school education including primary e

12、ducation, secondary education and higher education, childrens education mainly refers to the primary and secondary education.China practices the nine-year compulsory education system. It is also shows that school education is very important to increase the national culture level of our country. Scho

13、ol education intends to allow students to accept the planning guidance, to learn cultural knowledge, social norms, moral norms and values systematically. In a sense, school education determines the level and nature of individual socialization; it is an important base for individual socialization. Sc

14、hool education focuses on teaching children to learn how to be a man, how to learn knowledge, how to contact with others, how to take risks and what is unity. CHAPTER . The similarities and differences of childrens education between China and BritainThe similarities Emphasize the development of stud

15、ents on Educational philosophy. Britain experts stress such an educational philosophy, Every Child Matters. This is reflected in ensuring the safety of children, ensuring the health of children, ensuring them enjoy school life, ensuring them learn something and receive something, and ensuring them k

16、now how to make a positive contribution to the society. This is interlinked with Chinas Three All (which means all for students, for students in all and for all students) in essence. Initiate the students developed actively on the way of teaching. In Britain, all the teachers oppose to such way of T

17、eacher speaking, Students listening . They all focus on leading students to participate in learning actively. At present, China carries out a new curriculum reform which is also an ideal of teaching methods stress autonomy, cooperation and explore. Emphasize teachers professional development and con

18、tinuing education in teachers training.Both China and Britain attach importance to the professionalism of teachers, focus on training their own quality.2.2 The differences Because of different history, culture and economic strength, China and Britain have different education ways, mainly reflected i

19、n educational thinking and educational methods.Different educational thinking Firstly, China attaches importance to the knowledge-education, but Britain attaches importance to the capacity-education. China has a long history about five thousand years. We have Confucius, Mencius, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu

20、and other outstanding educators, and each have different ideas. Confuciuss individualized has affected the education sector so far. With such historical and cultural reasons, China focuses on the importance of knowledge education, and teaches materials are the first. Teachers teach students whatever

21、 textbooks have; the examination can not break away from textbooks. When children go home after school, parents still ask them to take out their textbooks and let them consolidate the content they have learned in the class, then familiar with the new content; they can not get rid of the fixed framew

22、ork of knowledge-education model. But the British teachers focus on capacity-education, they stress that the students can familiar with the things and phenomena what they want to know about, then under teachers instruction and guidance, they can find the right answers and discover new knowledge. Bri

23、tish teachers pay more attention to train the childrens sense of independence, and let them to take the initiative.Secondly, China education requires stability, while the Britain education wants changing. Chinese people always think and do things carefully, while the British are indulgent, they alwa

24、ys like straightforward. This difference in character also reflects in the educational thinking patterns. Chinas education emphasis on harmony, stability and unity, while the Britain education emphasis on competition, innovation and diversification. Chinese people has a strong cultural psychology of

25、 community, they prefer herd, especially concern about the others opinions, fear of something new. This is obvious in the class. Few students will refute the views of teachers, few students dare to distrust authority, and even few students take the initiative to indicate their points and views. The

26、British is different from Chinese, they encourage unique, respect personality, and advocate for change. They pursuit new things, new changes, they have adventurous spirit and they are innovative. This creative spirit of change and strive make students great independent and selective, and they have o

27、pen mind, dare to say whatever they think; they seek to prove constantly, query constantly.

31、ferent subjects, class schedule, class size, homework assignments, assessment methods, classroom environment, teaching methods and ways of communication with parents. The teaching class in China takes teachers as the center. In lectures and discussions, students prefer to the former. Students hope t

32、eachers can teach all of the knowledge about one theme, but not willing to be asked questions by teachers. In the traditional class in China, we always can see that teachers stand on the platform relating things from beginning to ending, but not ask for questions. The communication between teachers

33、and students, student and student is little, students always keep the same thought with teachers, and try to grasp all of the time they can use in the class to get standard and true answers from teachers.The teaching class in Britain takes students as the center. Teach and learn is decided by studen

34、t at large extent. The class looks like a discussion meeting-place, teachers appear as the status of macroscopic monitors, they teach little, and give time to students. Teachers not use great effort to explain the question clearly, but try to guide students to finds themselves. In this class, studen

35、ts must throw themselves in actively thought, so it produces enthusiastic and vivid discussion. When students meet questions that they are hard to understand, they will ask teachers for help immediately, teachers will try to guide students thought once again until questions are all be solved. Of cou

36、rse, this continuous communication between teachers and students is good to students study, at the same time, it at large extent developed the students ability of independent thinking. In addition, term arrangements are also different. There are two semesters in China and the Britain have three term

37、s; China has more compulsory years of education than Britain; the distribution system of teachers between China and Britain is also different and so on. All of these reasons form different teaching methods. CHAPTER . The advantages of school education and family education in Britain3.1 Open and Flex

38、ibleThe open education in Britain reflects in teaching is open to the students and learning is open to the students practice or questions. In this way, students can learn by themselves in the unconstrained environment, and steady the knowledge in practice. It is also develop the students ability of

39、discovering question and solving question. When you really come into the classroom in the Britain, you will be shocked by what you heard and seen. In this wonderful world, no one could tell you how to go; no one could tell you where the delicious fruit is. What you need to do is to explore, to try,

40、to find by yourself. This is the education of Britain, an inspired, investigative style of education, but not instill to students. The curriculum is arranged relatively flexibility in Britain, and the learning style is freedom. Britain has educational institutions in early years. With the changes of

41、 history, institutions are also continuing strengthen their power, the management is ordered. In different years, the names of the central education authorities are as follows: 1839-1856 Committee of the Privy Council on Education1856-1899 Education Department1899-1944 Board of Education1944-1964 Mi

42、nistry of Education1964-1992 Department of Education and Science 1992-1995 Department for Education1995-2001 Department for Education and Employment2001-now Department for Education and Skills 3.2 Novel and Vivid In the Britain, schools have elective courses in a large degree of freedom. Courses are

43、 novel, especially the rich extracurricular knowledge, which is beneficial to open up students thinking, so that they can learn to study and apply knowledge in a relaxed environment. In our traditional values, when we talk about Britain education, we will associate with the noisy classroom. Our firs

44、t impression of Britain education is less tasks and more activities. In fact, this idea is not accurate. Encourage innovation and invention, active classroom atmosphere is the characteristic of Western education, and pragmatic basis, serious and formal atmosphere in class is the typical representati

45、ve of China education. To British teachers, the meaning of the process of thinking is much more important than the result of thinking. For example, here is a national standard test (sixth grade) papers in a subject: This is the tower built by the cube sequence. The following is the top view of each

46、tower; numbers indicate how many cubes there are in each vertical column. Question 1: How many cubes are needed to establish of the tower 5? Question 2: Which number is to build the tower with 165 cubic? It can be seen that the British emphasis on the process of knowledge acquisition in mathematics.

47、 There are few lessons just teachers talk, students listen, and most of the teachers organize the students to participate in a series of activities.In Britains primary school and middle school, every classroom has several computers; it is convenient for teachers to use at any time. Teachers can reco

48、gnize stamp, enjoy music and do other things with students during teaching process, students can collect messages they need by themselves in the Internet. Teachers think that, this design has the basic of theory: the aim of students study is to know new things, but not to recite contents they have k

49、nown. This type of class gives life and energy to students, and let them interested in studying. CHAPTER . The shortcomings of school education and family education in China4.1 The inadequacies of family education in China Give children whatever they what. Now there is more and more the 4.2.1 family

50、 model in China. It means there are two grandparents, a father, a mother and one child. This family pattern always leads to the child likes a little emperor, parents and the elders will try to meet him as long as he can think of. But this situation make the child into the mistakes of whatever they w

51、ant, parents will satisfy him. What the parents should teach their children is how to do things by themselves, let them independent. Parents can not accompany with their children all life long, so the children can not be condoned and spoiled. Drifting roles of father and mother, education statement

52、is inconsistent. Nowadays, father and mother have different ways of education. For example, if the child makes a mistake, his father would not ask the reason but criticize or punish him directly. The father thinks the child may know about the mistake by this way. Then the mother will coax him after

53、that. While in the family which manages by mother, the person who criticizes the child is his mother, and the person who comforts him is his father. Is this a right way to educate the children? Of course not! Facing to the mistakes of the child, what the parents need to do first is to know about the

54、 causes of the mistakes, then to analysis whether the child is wrong or not, and to use the appropriate method to educate him. Parents can not have different ideas; they should act in concert with each other in childrens education. Lack of communication and exchange with children Parents have to wor

55、k every day, when they come home after a busy day, they only want to have a good rest, but the children do not see their parents all day, they just want to tell their parents the things happened in school and their own ideas. Facing this situation, many of the parents in China will choose to let the

56、ir children to find other kids to play or watch television themselves. Parents use busy and tired as an excuse to shirk their children, but they may never realize that it will make children lose the interest of telling to them. Slowly, children will become increasingly estrange with parents. Parents

57、 and children should always discuss the various issues to enhance communication and exchange of thoughts and feelings. If children want to talk with their parents, parents should have patience to listen to however busy they are. Only in this way, parents can understand childrens ideas, and then they

58、 can educate them better. 4.2. The inadequacy of school education in China Teachers equal treatment Chinas primary schools and secondary schools divide one class as a unit, the class is the childrens organization. When teachers have a class, they face to the entire class of students; their purpose i

59、s to allow all students to master spoken contents. This way of teaching always could devoid of some students personality, lead to them can not digest the knowledge they have learned in class, and may produce weary feelings. So, force students to receive knowledge are not desirable. In modern society

60、, teachers should remedy. First, teachers should have a general understanding about students, and then aim at the basic of students to develop teaching plans, gradually increase the level of the students. Students passive feeling Chinas education model is rigid, education content is gradually compli
