What should education be like in China? What is the education in China? What does China think of China education? These are three related and different problems.
What should education be like in China? This is the value orientation of education development, and education policy is the answer to this question. In other words, China should implement quality education, and in order to promote quality education, it is necessary to implement curriculum reform, which is the need to improve the quality of the people and the need of socialist modernization. But different people will have different views on this, because everyone has different values. To correctly answer the question of what education in China should be like, we must consider the deep-rooted influence of long-term exam-oriented education in China; We have to consider the strong attraction of the ideal of quality education to us; We have to consider the necessity of China's college entrance examination. We must consider the development trend of world education; We can't help but consider the goal of a well-off society. As our goal and value orientation, quality education should be correct, which is the inevitable choice of social civilization for its talents. However, it is unrealistic to apply all the educational models, methods and strategies required by quality education analyzed by theoretical circles to reality and vigorously promote them in a short time, because both objective and subjective conditions are immature. We can't deny the value of quality education because of its slow progress, nor can we force it to become a reality immediately because of its huge potential value.
What we need is not the third educational value orientation, but the concrete operating mechanism in the process of transforming examination-oriented education into quality education. The primary stage of China needs at least 100 years. Can China's educational transformation be completed in a few years? Impossible, I think it will take at least several decades.
What is the education in China? This is a factual judgment, and different people have different answers. Some only see the gratifying development of education in China. Education is reforming, research-based learning is popularizing, curriculum reform is deepening, exam-oriented education is mentioned in the same breath, and quality education is bound to advance in twists and turns. Others have seen the manifestations of educational corruption, the legacy of exam-oriented education and the heavy pressure from teachers and students, and think that the banner of quality education is about to fall.
Everything is divided into two parts. China education under exam-oriented education has both gratifying and unsatisfactory aspects. In the transitional period, even the education in the most developed countries is the same. It is not enough to see only two aspects of things, but also to see which is the main aspect and where the main aspect is reflected. China is a big country, so we should see that there will be differences in education between developed and backward areas. Education can be divided into basic education, higher education, vocational education, distance education and family education, and their development is unbalanced. Even in the same area, the education situation of key schools and ordinary schools is different. But I think compared with the past, education is developing, schools are getting bigger and more beautiful, the quality of teachers is also improved, and the attendance rate of students is also improved. However, compared with the speed of economic development, education is not fast, and compared with the education situation in advanced countries, we still have a gap.
What is China education in the eyes of China teachers? As a teacher, you need to know the overall development of education in China, because education is a teacher's occupation. However, it is difficult for a teacher to make a macroscopic, historical and dialectical evaluation of education in China, because he has no chance to visit all parts of the country, which is not his duty. Teachers all work in a specific school and have a personal experience of micro-aspects, so they can evaluate micro-aspects education more accurately. When evaluating your own school, you should compare and evaluate the development of macro-education, and know where your own school is, including educational ideas, teaching facilities, teachers' quality, teaching effect and so on. The macro-development trend of education in China can only be roughly analyzed and evaluated through books and online information.
