Characteristic classroom teaching in American primary and secondary education
In American primary and secondary schools, the number of students in each class is about 25, but what is the class size of China schools? About twice the size of American classes. With fewer students in American classrooms, teachers may have more opportunities to interact with students, and classroom teaching will be flexible accordingly. In China, you have a teacher to deal with more than 50 students. If Mr. China wants to interact with the whole class, there is only a little time in a class. Once the interaction begins, it is estimated that the teacher will have little time to lecture. The classroom setting in China determines that the teaching in primary and secondary schools in China can only be crammed, while the flexible teaching methods in American schools are not feasible in China.
Libraries with the characteristics of American primary and secondary education
There are no fixed textbooks and textbooks in American primary and secondary schools. Homework assigned by American teachers often requires students to borrow books from the library to find information. The dissemination of American school textbooks is related to various American libraries.
According to the statistics of American Library Association, there are about 6.5438+0.2 million libraries in the United States, with an average of 1 library for every 2,500 people. Among them, there are 8956 public libraries, 3793 university libraries, 98460 school libraries, 76 specialized libraries (including enterprises, medicine, religion, law, finance and other libraries), 265 military libraries and government libraries 1006.
In the United States, all kinds of libraries are textbooks and encyclopedias that American students can't finish reading. Even if American teachers don't use uniform textbooks, American students can find answers in the library. Please remember this data: there is one library for every 2,500 Americans on average. This data, in China, is simply a fantasy. The community libraries in China are not popular, and the primary and secondary school libraries with limited collections can't provide books for all students, which determines that China schools must have unified teaching materials.
Characteristics of moral education in American primary and secondary education
Moral education of American children can be accomplished through extracurricular activities. Churches, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts can instill all kinds of excellent human qualities in American children. Even if American schools don't take political lessons and study White House documents, American children will get life guidance in various activities outside school. Tolerance, honesty, love, respect and obedience to parents are often mentioned in the religious education of the church.
Diligence, courtesy to others, helping others, being good at cooperating with others, etc. Both boy scouts and girl scouts need to practice their skills. Such off-campus moral education, through day-to-day edification by American children, will at least achieve the effect that talking is better than nothing.
Characteristic movement of American primary and secondary education
American children generally like sports, while China children have limited extracurricular sports time. There are two main reasons for the differences between Chinese and American students in sports.
1. Compared with primary school students and junior high school students in the United States, children in China have a large amount of homework, which determines that the main task of children in China is to cope with homework in their spare time. In other words, children in China have no time to participate in extracurricular sports activities.
Second, to put it another way, American children love sports, which is related to the setting of American community parks. In America, parks are not only places for leisure, walking, flowers and grass, at least here. Throughout the year, community parks arrange various extracurricular sports activities for children.
For example, children can learn to play tennis, row boats and play football in community parks. The extracurricular activities in this community park are close to home, with low tuition fees (residents pay taxes) and convenient registration. Various sports activities in community parks have special announcements and introductions all year round. Before and after registration, the extracurricular activity brochure will be sent to each household's home in time for parents and children to choose.
It is worth mentioning that such community parks are not the patent of big cities in the United States. In the small town where they live, children can enjoy all kinds of extracurricular activities in the community park. In China, how many such parks can provide children with such low-cost sports venues close to home?
