1, research methods and teaching mode:
Western liberal arts education focuses on cultivating students' creative thinking, critical thinking and analytical ability, and emphasizes students' active participation and inquiry. However, in China, traditional liberal arts education tends to impart knowledge and inculcate, and there is a relative lack of teaching methods to cultivate students' critical and critical abilities.
2, interdisciplinary and comprehensive:
Liberal arts undergraduates in western universities usually pay attention to interdisciplinary and comprehensive education and encourage students to study and research interdisciplinary. This helps to cultivate students' comprehensive ability to use different disciplines and better understand and solve complex problems. However, the liberal arts education in China is relatively simple in discipline division and specialization, and lacks the cultivation of interdisciplinary comprehensive ability.
3. Educational resources and teachers:
Liberal arts undergraduates in western universities enjoy richer and more comprehensive educational resources, including libraries, research institutions, internships and exchange programs. Western universities also actively introduce or train excellent teachers.
Encourage the interaction between teachers and students in academic research. In contrast, the resources and teachers of liberal arts undergraduate education in China University are relatively insufficient in some aspects, which limits students' academic growth and development.
It should be pointed out that this is only for the general situation of liberal arts undergraduates. With the development and reform of university education in China, some high-level universities have made remarkable progress in liberal arts education.
At the same time, the development of liberal arts undergraduate needs to comprehensively consider the policy environment, social and cultural background and other factors, so we can't simply draw the conclusion that liberal arts undergraduate in China University is not as good as that in the West.
