Education systems vary greatly across different countries, and the differences between the Chinese and American student education systems are particularly notable. Here is a comparison of the two systems in an essay format:The Chinese and American Education Systems: A Comparative AnalysisThe education systems of China and the United States are often compared due to their significant differences in approach, structure, and philosophy. This essay will explore these differences, focusing on the student experience, teaching methods, and overall educational goals.Student ExperienceIn China, the student experience is often characterized by a rigorous and highly structured curriculum. Students are expected to adhere to a strict schedule, with a heavy emphasis on rote memorization and exam preparation. The academic year is typically divided into two semesters, with a significant amount of time dedicated to national and regional standardized exams, such as the Gaokao for university entrance.Conversely, the American education system encourages a more balanced approach to learning. Students are given the opportunity to explore a wide range of subjects and are often involved in extracurricular activities. The school day is generally shorter, and there is a greater emphasis on projectbased learning and critical thinking skills.Teaching MethodsTeaching methods in China are traditionally teachercentered, with a focus on lectures and direct instruction. Students are expected to absorb information and regurgitate it in exams, which often leads to a competitive atmosphere where high scores are the ultimate goal.In contrast, American classrooms often employ a studentcentered approach, where teachers facilitate discussions and encourage students to ask questions and explore topics in depth. This method aims to develop not only knowledge but also skills such as problemsolving, creativity, and collaboration.Educational GoalsThe goals of the Chinese education system are primarily focused on academicachievement and preparation for higher education. The system is designed to identify and cultivate highachieving students who can excel in competitive exams and contribute to the countrys development.On the other hand, the American education system aims to prepare students for a variety of paths, not just academic ones. It emphasizes the importance of social skills, emotional intelligence, and personal growth alongside academic knowledge. The goal is to produce wellrounded individuals who can contribute to society in diverse ways.ConclusionWhile both systems have their merits, they also face unique challenges. The Chinese systems focus on academic rigor can lead to high levels of stress and competition among students, while the American systems emphasis on a broad education can sometimes result in a lack of depth in certain subjects. Ultimately, the most effective education system may be one that can balance the strengths of both approaches, fostering a love for learning while also preparing students for the challenges of the future.This essay provides a brief overview of the key differences between the Chinese and American education systems, highlighting the unique characteristics of each and their implications for students.。

2010高考阅卷(作文)范文1Grasping the knowledge of those youngsters with naïve faces raising their hands high and expecting to inform their teachers of their novel answers from the picture, I could not help envying them, since our childhood was considerably different from theirs.Once we entered the primary school, we were instructed by teachers to keep both our hands on our backs and were forbidden to talk or move hands freely when they were speaking, which led to our uneasiness in class and deprived us of similar smiles on the picture.The divergence, I believe, should be attributed to the different educational system and concept between China and western countries. While they are encouraged to give full play to their creativity and curiosity, not willing to learn and instilled with a large amount of knowledge in order to obtain the admission letters from established universities and companies. Thus we are cultivated into identical “top-students” instead of creative individuals.Therefore, I eventually conclude that the next generation of our nation should be granted with more freedom to fully tap their potential and become all-round people.范文2As we all can see, the lovely students in the picture are so active that they all put their hands high, hoping to express their own opinions. It is obvious that the atmosphere is relaxing and everyone enjoys it. That’s great, isn’t it?The picture also reminds me of the time when I was a fresh student who was too shy to speak in public. Just like me, during my class, our classmates just listened to class, and everyone was watching me! I even prayed that my name would never come to my teacher’s mind.But as time goes by, I grow up, so as my mind. I realized that the situation show in the picture was far better. Children are all curious about everything, and knowledge will only be acquired by an inquiring mind. Those who dare not to speak out will never know anything new. The childhood without asking is not a real childhood. We should also keep the curiosity now, and forever. That will benefit you in the rest of your life.范文3From the picture, it can be easily seen that four primary students are raising their hands to answer the questions. So happy and excited are they that I see their eagerness for knowledge, which is powerful in all our life. Therefore, unlimited as knowledge is, we should keep our enthusiasm to learn.When it comes to my first day in my primary school, I felt curious about everything. When my teacher asked questions, all of us raised our hands including some to answer them …wonderful moments in my life because although we were little kids, we carried our passion for learning new knowledge, which is beautiful and mysterious in our hearts. We were just like the children in the picture, active and creative. It was at that time that knowledge appealed to me.Just as Bacon wrote in 1597, knowledge is power. I reckon that all of us should keep out enthusiasm to explore in the known and unknown worlds. Time-consuming and painstaking as it might be, nothing can stop a willing and curious heart. Only by living knowledge can we strive to learn. And only by gaining more knowledge can we become powerful, thus achieving our success and living out our values!There is no one but can resist the charm of knowledge, just like these students. Having an active heart and persevering in learning, the day we succeed will surely come!范文4When I first saw the picture, I was deeply moved. In the picture, foreign pupils are having a lesson. Although they have just entered the elementary school, they are quite outgoing and energetic. They all raise their hands and want to take an active part in the lesson. The smile wearing on their faces indicates the confidence in their heart. I am moved by their enthusiastic attitude towards study, school life and even future.However, it reminds me of my personal experience when I was at their age. Since I was a Chinese pupil, I as well as others was required to obey the strict rules of school. We sat quietly or even silently in the classroom and listened to the teacher’s words. There were not many live discussions and the “teacher talking, students listening” was the most common pattern.I am shocked by such astonishing differences between Chinese education and foreign education. However, I gradually realize that the key factor leading to the difference lies in the culture background. Both of them have their advantages and shortcomings. Students like me who belong to Chinese classroom can learn to develop a sense of obeying rules which is essential for us to be good citizens. However less involvement in class may make students less creative. On the other hand, those pupils in the picture enjoy a relatively more open atmosphere and they can express and learn freely and actively. But their sense of obeying rules becomes weak.So, in my opinion, as both coins have two sides, the two kinds of education can learn from each other to come up with a better one. And this can be beneficial to both the development of students and the communication between cultures.范文5Holding their hands up, smiling confidently to the teacher and being eager to answer the question, nowadays the new primary students seem to consider a class as an excited adventure.Their shinning eyes are like sweet blossoms which remind me of my golden days in the primary school. Compared with their active attitude, I was always so shy that I tried my best to hide my ideas. Praying not to be chosen to answer the question, worrying about the likely embarrassment, I filled my class time with anxiety.However, with time gone without trace or sound, I gradually realize what precious treasures I have lost. I gave up my confidence which was able to lead me to the paradise of success; I missed valuable experience which could lit the ragged road to the future; I also rejected my right to make mistakes as well as to be corrected. As the saying goes, what we must conquer are not rocky mountains but ourselves. Mistakes are not our opponents, instead they equip us with courage, wisdom and lessons. Do not be afraid to face difficulties, bear it in mind that they train us for the better and that only with the belief in ourselves can we embrace the beauty of life!Thank you, my dear angels. You bring confidence, smiles and positive attitudes towards life back to me. I hope that you can keep smiling to whatever you may face in the future. I hope that I can hold my hand up like you the next time!。
Difference between Chinese and American university education emphasisAs an important mean to cultivate the talents for society, university education has played a significant role in national economic growth, technology progress and social development. There are many types of education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features. H ere we’ll discuss the differences between American and Chinese university education from following aspects.1. Difference on entrance to universityFirst of all, America and China have the different standard for high school students to enter into university. In China, the university entrance examination is the vital thing to each high school student. No matter how well they performed in the past two years, if they did not get the good score in the exam, they will have no chance to enter the first class universities. Nevertheless, there is a different education system in the US. Although the American gets into the universities also by means of the examination, such as the SAT, GPA, ACT, the universities will pay attention to the other abilities and specialties, for instance the organizing ability, awards. In this case, the university education is more common in America and American students will have less pressure during their high school life.2. Different ways on hiring teachers and teaching managementIn America, principals never estimates a professor or a tutor, they give the right o f choosing faculty to the students. Before each semester, different teachers put what th eir academic achievement, lecture content, studying materials etc. onto a website for t he students to choose. The better reputation the professor own, the more students will be to choose his course, thus the professor earn more money. Thus there will be an opt imum competition among professors which can improve both the quality of teaching a nd the interest towards knowledge from the students’ side. Although, in china, this mechanism has been introduced for years, its practice seems to be not quite effective. We can find that some Chinese professors or tutors doing perfunctory work in class, using the same lecture material over years, and students care more about the mark teachers give rather than the true meaning of knowledge itself which finally results in a vicious circle.3. The orientation of university educationGenerally, the evaluation system can demonstrate the orientation of university education of one country. Chinese university educational system is typically exam-oriented, while American education focuses more on individual’s cultivation.On the other words, Chinese university education focuses on evaluating students’ability of accumulating the existing knowledge they learned. In contrast, American pays more attention on cultivating students’ independence, spirit of questioning and the ability of applying the knowledge in society and real life. In this case, American students build a bridge between what they learn and demand of the society during their university experience which also explains why they can achieve more contributions after graduation. All in all, we can regard the orientation of university education is the first and most obvious difference between American and Chinese university education.ConclusionFrom what has mentioned above, we know the gap between American and Chinese university education. But there is no point to say which kind of education is superior without considering the current social situation of one country. What we should do is to clarify the differences between two countries, and absorb the advantages to profit from American university education so as to faster the reform and the development of Chinese university education.。
中国和美国教育方式的差异英语作文Education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of individuals and societies. The methods and approaches to education vary significantly across different cultures and countries. Two of the most contrasting systems can be found in China and the United States. Both nations emphasize the importance of education, but their methods reflect their unique cultural, social, and historical backgrounds. This essay explores the key differences in educational methods between China and the United States, highlighting the strengths and challenges of each system.One of the fundamental differences between Chinese and American education lies in their educational philosophies. In China, the education system is highly influenced by Confucianism, which emphasizes respect for authority, the value of hard work, and the importance of education in achievingsocietal harmony and individual success. As a result, Chinese education tends to be more rigid, hierarchical, and exam-oriented. The primary objective is to impart knowledge and skills that will enable students to excel academically and contribute to society.In contrast, the American education system is shaped by the principles of individualism, critical thinking, and creativity. The focus is on developing well-rounded individuals who can think independently, solve problems, and innovate. Education in the United States aims to foster personal growth, self-expression, and the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing world. This difference in philosophy leads to varying approaches to teaching and learning in the two countries.The curriculum in China is highly standardized and centralized. The Ministry of Education dictates the content and structure of the curriculum, which ensures uniformity across the country. Students in China follow a rigorous and demandingschedule, with a strong emphasis on core subjects such as mathematics, science, and Chinese language. Memorization and rote learning are common practices, as students are often required to recall vast amounts of information for exams. The high-stakes nature of these exams, particularly the Gaokao (college entrance examination), puts immense pressure on students to perform well.In contrast, the American curriculum is more flexible and decentralized. While there are national standards and guidelines, local school districts have significant autonomy in designing their curricula. This allows for a more diverse range of subjects and extracurricular activities, catering to the varied interests and talents of students. American education places a strong emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. Project-based learning, group discussions, and interactive activities are common in American classrooms, fostering an environment where students can explore their interests and develop practical skills.Chinese classrooms are typically characterized by a teacher-centered approach. Teachers are viewed as authoritative figures who impart knowledge to students, who are expected to listen, take notes, and memorize the information. The classroom environment is generally formal and disciplined, with a focus on maintaining order and respect for the teacher. This approach can lead to a deep understanding of core subjects but may limit opportunities for creative expression and critical thinking.In the United States, the classroom environment is often more relaxed and student-centered. Teachers act as facilitators who guide and support students in their learning journey. There is a strong emphasis on interactive and participatory learning, where students are encouraged to ask questions, express their opinions, and engage in discussions. Group work and collaborative projects are common, promoting teamwork and communication skills. This approach nurtures creativity andindependent thinking but may sometimes lead to less emphasis on mastering core academic content.Assessment methods in China are heavily focused on exams and standardized testing. Students’ performance is primarily evaluated based on their ability to recall and apply knowledge in written tests. The Gaokao is the most critical exam in a Chinese student’s academic career, as it determines their eligibility for higher education and future career prospects. The intense focus on exams can lead to a highly competitive environment, where students are motivated to achieve high scores but may experience significant stress and pressure.In the United States, assessment is more varied and holistic. While standardized tests are still important, they are complemented by other forms of evaluation, such as assignments, projects, presentations, and class participation. This approach aims to provide a more comprehensive picture of a student’s abilities and achievements. Continuous assessmentand formative feedback help students identify their strengths and areas for improvement, fostering a growth mindset and encouraging lifelong learning.Parental involvement is another area where Chinese and American education systems differ significantly. In China, parents p lay a crucial role in their children’s education, often taking a hands-on approach to ensure academic success. They may hire tutors, supervise homework, and set high expectations for their children’s performance. This strong support system can drive students to excel but may also contribute to increased pressure and anxiety.In the United States, parental involvement varies widely but generally emphasizes supporting children’s overall development and well-being. Parents are encouraged to participate in school activities, communicate with teachers, and support their children’s interests and aspirations. The focus is on creating a balanced environment where academicachievement is valued but not at the expense of personal growth and happiness.In conclusion, the educational methods in China and the United States reflect their distinct cultural values and societal goals. While the Chinese system emphasizes discipline, hard work, and academic excellence, the American system prioritizes creativity, critical thinking, and holistic development. Both approaches have their strengths and challenges, and there is much that each country can learn from the other. By understanding and appreciating these differences, educators and policymakers can work towards creating more effective and inclusive education systems that prepare students for the demands of the globalized world.。
中国的教育和外国的教育有什么不同英语作文Education is a fundamental aspect of society, shaping the future ofindividuals and the nation as a whole. When comparing the education systems of China and foreign countries, there are several notable differences that are worth exploring. These disparities encompass various aspects such as teaching methods, curriculum, and cultural influences, all of which play a significant role in shaping the educational experiences of students in these respective regions.One of the primary distinctions between Chinese and foreign education lies in the teaching methods employed. In China, the traditional approach to education emphasizes rote memorization and extensive studying, with a strong focus on standardized testing. This method often leads to a high-pressure environment for students, as they are constantly preparing for exams and striving to achieve top scores. On the other hand, many foreign education systems, such as those in the United States and Europe, prioritize critical thinking, creativity, and practical application of knowledge. Students are encouraged to engage in discussions, debates, and hands-on learning experiences, fostering a more holistic understanding of the subject matter.Additionally, the curriculum in Chinese schools tends to be more rigid and uniform compared to that of foreign countries. In China, the national curriculum is heavily centralized, with a strong emphasis on core subjects such as mathematics, Chinese language, and sciences. This leaves little room for elective courses or specialized studies, as students are expected to follow a standardized academic path. Conversely, foreign education systems often offer a wider range of elective courses, allowing students to explore their interests and talents in various fields such as arts, music, and sports. This flexibility in the curriculum enables students to develop a more well-rounded skill set and pursue their passions.Cultural influences also play a significant role in shaping the educational disparities between China and foreign countries. In China, there is a deep-rootedrespect for authority and a strong emphasis on obedience and conformity within the educational setting. Students are expected to adhere to strict rules and regulations, and individualism is often discouraged in favor of collective harmony. In contrast, many foreign education systems promote individuality, independence, and self-expression, fostering a more open and diverse learning environment. This cultural difference greatly impacts the way students approach learning andinteract with their peers and educators.Furthermore, the role of extracurricular activities in education differs significantly between China and foreign countries. In China, extracurricular activities are often viewed as secondary to academic pursuits, and there is less emphasis on their importance in personal and social development. On the contrary, foreign education systems recognize the value of extracurricular activities in fostering leadership skills, teamwork, and personal growth. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of extracurriculars, including sports, clubs, and community service, which contribute to their overall education and character development.In conclusion, the disparities between Chinese and foreign education are multifaceted and deeply rooted in cultural, historical, and societal influences. While the Chinese education system prioritizes discipline, academic rigor, and conformity, foreign education systems place a greater emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and individuality. Understanding these differences iscrucial in fostering cross-cultural appreciation and collaboration in an increasingly interconnected world. As education continues to evolve, it isessential to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each system and strive fora balanced approach that cultivates well-rounded, globally-minded individuals.。
介绍中英学生的差异的英语作文The differences between Chinese and English students are quite profound, stemming from the distinct educational systems and cultural environments in which they are raised. While both groups of students share the common goal of academic achievement, the paths they take and the values they uphold can vary greatly.One of the most notable distinctions lies in the approach to learning. Chinese students are often characterized by a strong emphasis on rote memorization and mastery of core curricular content. The education system in China places a heavy emphasis on standardized testing, with national exams such as the Gaokao serving as the primary determinant of a student's academic future. As a result, Chinese students are trained to excel at recalling and regurgitating information, rather than developing critical thinking skills or engaging in open-ended exploration.In contrast, the English educational system tends to foster a more holistic and well-rounded approach to learning. While academic achievement is still highly valued, English students are encouraged toengage in a broader range of extracurricular activities, from sports and arts to community service and debate. The curriculum also places a greater emphasis on developing analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on encouraging students to think independently and challenge established norms.Another key difference lies in the role of the family in a student's academic journey. In Chinese culture, the family is often deeply invested in a child's education, with parents taking an active role in monitoring their child's progress and providing extensive academic support. This can manifest in the form of regular tutoring sessions, strict study schedules, and high expectations for academic excellence. The underlying belief is that a child's success is a reflection of the family's honor and social standing.In contrast, English students tend to enjoy a greater degree of independence and autonomy in their academic pursuits. While parental involvement is still important, there is a stronger emphasis on allowing students to take ownership of their learning and make their own decisions. English parents may provide guidance and support, but they are generally less likely to micromanage theirchild's academic life or impose rigid expectations.These cultural differences also shape the social dynamics within the student populations. Chinese students are often characterized by astrong sense of collectivism and a focus on maintaining harmony within the group. They may be more inclined to conform to social norms and avoid standing out, prioritizing the needs of the group over individual expression. In contrast, English students tend to exhibit a greater degree of individualism, with a stronger emphasis on personal expression and the development of unique identities.Furthermore, the role of extracurricular activities in a student's life can vary significantly between the two cultures. In China, the primary focus is on academic performance, with extracurricular activities often viewed as secondary or even a distraction from the main goal of achieving high test scores. English students, on the other hand, are encouraged to engage in a wide range of extracurricular pursuits, from sports and arts to community service and entrepreneurship. These activities are seen as essential for developing well-rounded individuals and fostering personal growth.Finally, the overall attitude towards education and its purpose can differ between Chinese and English students. For Chinese students, education is often viewed as a means to an end, a pathway to securing a stable and prestigious career that will bring honor and financial security to the family. In contrast, English students may place a greater emphasis on the intrinsic value of education, seeing it as a means of personal growth, intellectual exploration, and the development of a well-rounded individual.In conclusion, the differences between Chinese and English students are multifaceted and deeply rooted in their respective cultural and educational environments. While both groups share the common goal of academic achievement, the paths they take and the values they uphold can vary greatly. Understanding these differences is crucial for fostering cross-cultural understanding and ensuring that educational systems around the world can effectively cater to the diverse needs and learning styles of students from different backgrounds.。
中国美国教育差异作文英语Educational Differences between China and the United StatesIn the realm of education, China and the United Statesexhibit significant differences in their approaches, philosophies, and systems. This essay aims to explore the key distinctions between the two nations' educational models, focusing on curriculum, teaching methods, assessment, and the overall student experience.Curriculum and Subject FocusThe Chinese education system is often characterized by its rigorous curriculum, with a strong emphasis on core subjects such as mathematics, science, and language arts. Students in China typically follow a standardized curriculum that is uniform across the country, ensuring a high level of academic rigor and uniformity in educational standards.In contrast, the American education system allows for more diversity and flexibility in the curriculum. While core subjects are still important, there is a greater emphasis on elective courses and extracurricular activities that cater to a wide range of student interests and talents. This approach encourages students to explore various fields and develop a more well-rounded educational experience.Teaching MethodsChinese classrooms are traditionally teacher-centered, with afocus on lectures and direct instruction. Students are expected to absorb information and reproduce it in exams, which are seen as the primary measure of academic success. This method prioritizes memorization and repetition as key learning strategies.On the other hand, American classrooms often employ student-centered teaching methods that encourage active participation and critical thinking. Group discussions, project-based learning, and problem-solving activities are common, aiming to develop students' analytical and creative skills. The American approach values the process of learning as much as the outcome.Assessment and EvaluationIn China, high-stakes examinations, such as the Gaokao for university admissions, play a crucial role in a student's educational journey. These exams are highly competitive and can significantly influence a student's future opportunities. The emphasis on exams often shapes the teaching and learning process, with a focus on exam preparation and performance.The United States uses a more varied approach to assessment. While standardized tests are important, particularly for college admissions, they are just one component of astudent's overall evaluation. Grades, class participation, extracurricular involvement, and teacher recommendations also play significant roles in assessing a student's abilities and potential.Student Experience and PressureChinese students often face intense pressure to perform well academically, with long study hours and a focus on achieving high scores on exams. This pressure can lead to a highly competitive environment and, at times, significant stress for students.American students, while still facing academic challenges, may experience less pressure from a single examination. The emphasis on a broader range of activities and skills can provide a more balanced and less stressful educational environment. However, the pursuit of college admissions can still be highly competitive and demanding.ConclusionThe educational differences between China and the United States reflect broader cultural and societal values. While the Chinese system prioritizes uniformity, rigor, and high academic standards, the American system values diversity, creativity, and a more holistic approach to student development. Both systems have their merits and challenges, and understanding these differences can provide valuable insights into the global landscape of education.。
What does "education" mean According to the dictionary, "to educate" means"to bring up and train the mind and way of thinking." Education is an important thing which can brighten people's minds and expand their knowledge. To some degree, the educational systems of two big countries in the world, the United Kingdom (UK) and China, are very complicated. They both have advantages and disadvantages in each phase of education. This document provides a brief comparison of the educational systems in the UK and China relating to the following levels of education: (1) Primary Education; (2) Secondary Education; and (3) Higher Education. It provides suggestions for how the educational systems in each country could be improved, concluding that educationis one of the most basic, yet most important elements in a society, thus countries need to try to improve their educational systems to the extent possible.In China, the education is divided into three categories: basic education, higher education, and adult education. The Compulsory Education Law of stipulates that each child have nine years of formal education.Basic EducationBasic education in China includes pre-school education, primary education and regular secondary education.Preschool, or kindergarten, can last up to three years, with children entering as early as age three, until age six, when they typically enter elementary school. The academic year is divided into two semesters.Secondary education is divided into academic secondary education and specialized/vocational/technical secondary education.Academic secondary education is delivered by academic lower and upper middle schools.Lower middle school graduates wishing to continue their education take a locally administered entrance exam, on the basis of which they will have the option either of continuing in an academic upper middle school or of entering a vocational secondary school. Vocational schools offer programs ranging from two to four years and train medium-level skilled workers, farmers, and managerial and technical personnel. Technical schools typically offer four-years programs to train intermediate technical personnel. “Schools for Skilled Workers” typically train junior middle school graduates for positions requiring production and operation skills. The length of training is typically three year.Higher EducationHigher education at the undergraduate level includes two-and three-year junior colleges(sometimes also called short-cycle colleges, four-year colleges, and universities offering programs in both academic and vocational subjects. Many colleges and universities also offer graduate programs leading to the master’s or . degree.Chinese higher education at the undergraduate level is divided into three-year and four-year programs. The former is offered not only at short-cycle colleges, but frequently also at four-year colleges and universities. The latter is offered at four-year colleges and universities but do not always lead to the bachelor’s degree.Myriad higher education opportunities also fall under the general category of adult education.Adult Education、The adult education category overlaps all three of the above categories. Adult primary education includes Workers’ Primary Schools, Peasants’ Primary Schools, and literacy classes. Adul t secondary education includes radio/TV specialized secondary schools, specialized secondary school for cadres, specialized secondary schools for staff and workers, specialized secondary schools for peasants, in-service teacher training schools and correspondence specialized secondary schools. Adult higher education includes radio/TV universities, cadre institutes, workers’ colleges, peasant colleges, correspondence colleges, and educational colleges. Most of the above offer both two- and three-year short-cycle curricula; only a few also offer regular undergraduate curricula.The Different Education System between China and BritainAbstract: This paper studied differences between Chinese education and British education in brief. As we all know, every country has its unique education system.

Ryan ZacharA Comparison Between Educational Systems of China and the USAThe education system as a whole in China has many similarities to that of the United States; however, there are also some notable differences, which seem to mainly stem from the large population difference and the culture of the respective countries. The main areas of comparison that were evident from the interactions with the Chinese university students and the time spent on the university campuses are the logistics of the educational system, student life, and the college campuses.Like in the United States, elementary school and high school last a total of twelve years, but in China, it is split up slightly differently. After six years of elementary school, there are three years of “middle school” (equivalent to the usual two years of junior high in the United States) and then three more years of “high school.” The biggest difference between the two countries’ school systems is that in China, the system as a whole is much more rigid with more guidelines and in the US, there is significantly more freedom and fewer restrictions. For example, a student having the freedom to select his or her own classes is unheard of in China, as all the way through college, all the classes that a student must take is predetermined. An explanation for this is very likely the large number of students and allowing each student to personalize his or her plan of study is simply too complicated.Another example is that after spending two weeks in China, we have seen many instances of students in elementary and high school in school uniforms. It seems as if school uniforms are the norm, whereas in the US, schools requiring uniforms is much more rare.Ryan Zachar Again due to the population of students, the competition in Chinese schools is significantly higher. The HIT and Ningbo students said that there are entrance examinations for middle school, high school, and college; these exams determine the caliber of school that they are admitted to. Of course, the examination for college, or the “gao kao,” is the most important and thus, it is the exam that many students spend their entire life preparing for. Browsing a bookstore in China, we found the section for test prep books and looking through one on math, we noticed that the problems were significantly harder than problems on the SAT (which can be considered equivalent to the “gao kao”). The reason behind the difficultly of the tests is so there will be a greater range of scores so that colleges can better differentiate between the immense number of students.There is a difference in how students get into their colleges. Students still have to take a test and their scores help determine the school they get into like America, but the major they get into. Students in China pick their major by writing down a list of possible majors on a piece of paper. Then the schools pick the students based on their grades. In America the schools let the student know if they were accepted or not and then the student picks from the schools that have accepted them.Following the “gao kao” and being accepted into a university, Chinese students must then choose a major. There are a few similarities and many differences between the way most Purdue students choose their major, and the way most Chinese college students choose their major. Yet again, there are far fewer restrictions on American students when picking a major than there are on Chinese students.Ryan Zachar At HIT the competition to get into majors is very competitive. After being accepted by the university, they must apply again for a major. My partner explained that she applied for a total of 5 majors, and only got accepted into one program. That is the major that she now has. Many of the Chinese students do not know what most of the majors even mean. Many students also feel pressure from their parents to go into a certain area. They must decide when they are still in high school which majors to apply for, and what the major actually entails which is often not understood. Many high school seniors also choose their major during their last few months in school. The big difference is that many American students can choose their majors. Some change their major up to four or five times. At HIT students rarely change their major. After their freshmen year only the top ten percent of students can change their major. If you are not in the top ten percent than you are stuck with the major that you chose. One of our Chinese partners explained that many of her friends are not happy with the major that they chose, but they are stuck with it. They will have to complete their undergrad in that subject, and then they can go to grad school for something that they are more interested in. Since HIT is a school of technology, most of the partners we talked to were engineers or a similar subject.At Ningbo University the process of choosing majors was very similar. It was a liberal arts school therefore the majors were different. Many of students that we talked to had majors in International Economics or English. Interestingly, there did not seem to be the animosity between students of different majors, which is common in the United States at universities such as Purdue. Although engineers were seen as the major most needed at the moment, they saw all majors as important. Not like in America were mostRyan Zachar majors will look down upon others. Such as how science and engineering majors look down on liberal arts majors. In China they are not very popular majors, but still seen as important.Furthermore, Chinese students have a lot less vacation time than American college students do. American students have a three month summer vacation. Chinese students do not even have three months off the entire year. Their summer vacation lasts a month and a half and winter vacation lasts one month. Thus, Chinese students spend up to two months more in school each year than American students do.It may seem this rigidity in the educational system may have negative effects on the students. In fact, before coming to China, we read that because of the great importance of tests in China, the educational system focuses strongly on tests and much less on other things like leadership, hands-on experience, teamwork, or creativity, which many Chinese students end up lacking. While Americans have labs to go with a lot of their classes, Chinese students do a lot more theory work and not much hands on work. They have very few labs and more lectures instead. They focus more on the theory than the mixture of theory and hands on. Even when they go to graduate school there is not much hands on work. The majority of Chinese students go straight to graduate school after undergraduate, while many American students seem to value real world work experience more and often feel the need to work for a year or two before deciding on whether or not to attend graduate school.However, we also read that China realizes the importance of these other aspects of education and has been reforming its educational system to concentrate more on suchRyan Zachar things. The students that we met in Beijing, at HIT, and in Ningbo all exhibited great leadership, worked together very well, and put on amazing and very creative artistic and musical performances—we see this as evidence of China’s reforming educational system.As part of this reform, C hina has also started having everyone be taught English in school. They believe that eventually Mandarin and English will be the only to languages on Earth. They are taught English up through high school. It is surprising how well a lot of Chinese students speak English. They do not have to take it in college, but it is optional for them to major in English. They are not able to minor in it because there minors do not exist in China. They did not see why people would even want minors since they are not getting a full education in the subject.Study, study, study; this is the foundation of any University education, whether in America or China. However, after all of this studying, students need some way to relax and have fun with their friends. Both American and Chinese students enjoy having fun. There are similarities and differences in the way that American and Chinese students have fun and entertain themselves.American and Chinese students have many things in common when it comes to entertainment. Both cultures love music, particularly American music, which is played in Chinese discos. Chinese students love American culture and are very familiar with American music, movies and television. Chinese students, like Americans, enjoy having friends over and watching a movie or television show. When Chinese students were asked what they liked to do for fun, a common response from the females was shopping,Ryan Zachar and playing computer games was usually the answer from the males. This is how also many American students pass the time at school.While there are similarities in the way that Chinese and American students have fun, there are also several differences. Drinking and partying is one major difference between American and Chinese college students. Any major American University has a bar culture and numerous parties that a student can choose from on the weekend. Alcohol is also a big part of weekend activities for many American students, but this is not the case in China. Despite the fact that there is no drinking age, most Chinese students do not drink or go to bars or clubs on the weekends. And when Chinese students do drink it is not nearly as heavily as many American students. Parties on or near campus are also not popular in China. One Chinese student said that he did not think that anyone would come if somebody did throw a party. Another student asked if American universities were similar to the movie American Pie.The American and Chinese students who were involved in Maymester China 2008 were v ery eager to make new friends and learn about each other’s respective culture. The students were so excited to get to know each other better they often met in the evening, when the academic part of the day was done, to go out and have fun. Despite their cultural differences, the American and Chinese students that were part of Maymester China 2008 had a great time together.College campuses in China come in many different forms, just as they do in America. They can occupy anything from several floors of an inner city building to sprawling multi-acre campuses outside the cities. The design and size of college’sRyan Zacharcampuses in China are by no means equal. It is clear that some colleges enjoy the wealth that their school possesses and can create beautiful places of learning and research. Others serve a purely functional role and are void of elaborate buildings and expertly manicured surroundings.For example, take Beijing Foreign Studies Institute and compare it to IllinoisInstitute of Technology in Chicago, IL. Although they both occupy a small central area and have well kept buildings, they clearly do not have a great amount of space to expand and must substitute additional floors on buildings instead of building outward.Additionally, although the Beijing Foreign Studies Institute has some landscaping and even a small monument and flag, it does not contain space for parks or recreation facilities on its campus.Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) has a completely different campus then the Beijing Foreign Studies Institute, and canbe compared to a large campus such as PurdueUniversity in West Lafayette, IN. Not onlydoes it contain several buildings dedicated toeducation and research, but also containsseveral portions of campus dedicated towardsbeautification. In fact, SJTU host more modern buildings and more green space then most large universities in the United States! It clearly benefits from primarily being a research institution and having the capability to attract money from business looking to do research at the university.SJTU campus in Shanghai, ChinaRyan Zachar In conclusion, college campuses in China are very similar to those in the United States. They come in several different forms and sizes usually consistent with the their proximity to the urban centers. Chinese universities clearly put an emphasis on making all of their campuses modern with the ability to effectively support quality education and research. Although several differences between the Chinese and American educational systems were described, not only are the college campuses similar, when looking at the two educational systems as a whole, they are surprisingly similar for two such differing cultures.。
