What are the characteristics of the British education model? Britain's educational ideas and achievements are advanced and profound. The high quality of education is not only reflected in its perfect higher education, but also in Britain's primary and secondary education and preschool education. It is a well-known fact that British education is in the forefront of the world in terms of fields, theories, systems, educational methods and educational practices.
Characteristics of British education:
1, British education pays attention to the pursuit of diversity and the cultivation of children's interests;
The diversity of British education system is one of the reasons why it can be in the first-class position. In addition to obtaining professional knowledge in the classroom, we also pay attention to cultivating students' practical ability, creativity, execution and teamwork ability. In addition, British education pays attention to students' personality development, explores each student's interest and potential, and thus guides students to further develop their talents; For example, popular English dramas and physical education class, which have been paid great attention to now, can cultivate children's self-confidence, independent consciousness, tenacious perseverance and team spirit necessary for entering the society.
2. British education pays attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude;
In British education, they think that every child is unique and has its own characteristics, so it is impossible to generalize. Therefore, the curriculum is expanded according to the different characteristics of children, to meet different needs and learning depth, to tailor their own educational model for different children, and to adjust their teaching methods in real time by understanding students' interests and knowledge.
3. Teaching is child-centered:
In British education, teachers are the guides of children, not the leaders; Children don't listen to the teacher's instruction, which gradually stifles their nature, imagination and creativity; Instead, let the children learn in their own way, and the teacher will interact with the children, observe the children's reactions and performances to guide the children and ask questions; Children acquire knowledge and the ability to solve problems independently through their own operation and exploration.
4. Children can understand their thoughts:
In addition to the usual basic courses, British education also pays attention to "extracurricular courses" such as art, design and music. Help children find their hobbies and be a person with personality. Just like some people who are not interested in mathematics but are good at sports, British education is to put all these potentials in front of every child and let them learn. When they find their own specialties or interests, the school will encourage children to give full play to their advantages and let them learn the knowledge and skills they want to learn.
Characteristics of British education development
1. The British government has been strongly supporting the development of higher education and universities.
As we all know, British universities have the typical characteristics of western universities, in fact, they are university autonomy, academic freedom and professor research. Mainly through the analysis of some measures taken by the British government on higher education policy, I found that the British government's support for universities is all-round, and each support measure has its own characteristics. For example, the unique way of financial support.
2. British education has formed a distinctive and recognized spiritual system.
Oxford University and Cambridge University in Britain have a history of more than 800 years, forming a unique university cultural spirit system. Some high-level universities and applied universities with short running time pay special attention to the formation of unique university values. For example, Oxford University, Cambridge University, University College London, London Imperial College London and other universities all serve mankind as leaders and innovators, giving teachers and students a sense of honor and pride.
3. British education has formed a set of university governance system with decentralization and checks and balances.
In British universities, due to different historical and cultural traditions, there is a certain gap in the governance system structure, but on the whole, all high-level universities have formed a unique internal governance system because the government does not specifically interfere in the internal management affairs of each university.
