2. Cultural Tradition China advocates the oriental collectivism culture, everyone is a member of the collective, emphasizing the sense of collective honor, commonality and convergence, and personal interests are placed under abstract "national" and "collective" interests; The west is an individualistic culture, emphasizing that everyone is an independent, complete and valuable individual, and personal interests are protected.
3. Moral Education China emphasizes patriotism and collectivism education, advocates Lei Feng spirit, and now carries out "code of conduct" education, but these contents are either divorced from reality or only emphasize external formal education, ignoring moral education based on moral feelings in daily moral activities; In addition to religious education, moral education in the west is also close to real life, so that children can form heartfelt, emotional support and internalized things from an early age. Such as honesty, justice, sharing, cooperation, altruism, sympathy and respect for others, these moral qualities can be truly expressed in western children. Although there are people who are morally corrupt in West Renye Fang, the average moral level of its residents is much higher than that of China. This gap is not only caused by the average education level of residents.
4. Personality development On average, China's cultural traditions and educational system make China students more introverted, have low aspirations, are highly dependent, believe in authority, seek common ground while reserving differences, and are more conservative, but they are relatively hard-working and tolerant of oppression; Western students are obviously more extroverted and ambitious. They pay attention to the cultivation of ambition since childhood, and have good independence, subjectivity, creativity and novelty. But the sense of responsibility is a bit poor, and I can't stand oppression.
5. Intellectual development According to the report of authoritative psychologists in the United States, the IQ test scores of China and Jews are the highest among all races in the world, followed by Anglo-Saxon whites and their immigrants in the United States, and finally black and brown people. However, if all Nobel laureates are analyzed by race, China laureates are lower than the average of all races, while Jews are 28 times the average, French are 6.3 times, Germans are 4.4 times and Italians are 1.6 times. Why do primary school students in China do much better in school than American children? Middle school students won the gold medal in the International Middle School Students' Olympic Mathematical Physics Competition, while the number of people who won the Nobel Prize in China was so small? I don't think it's a social and political system problem, but a cultural tradition problem. Japan, South Korea and Singapore, which share similar cultural traditions with China, have few Nobel Prize winners, which is a proof. China's education system pays attention to the so-called "learning by reading and memorizing", the operation and training of the brain, and the cultivation of tedious, complicated and unrealistic computing ability. China people's 0/2 years of primary and secondary school study and life can be summed up in eight words, that is, "rote memorization, diligent study and hard practice". Under this educational system, people's intrinsic interests, motives and spontaneous behaviors are severely suppressed, but these are necessary for winning the Nobel Prize (that is, high-level inventions); In contrast, from family to school education, western countries attach importance to the operation of hands, let students read a lot of extracurricular books, expand their knowledge, and cultivate the ability of divergent thinking and solving practical problems. Although their primary and middle school students' grades are not as good as those of China students, their autonomy, spontaneity, interest in problems and internal motivation are highlighted after entering the university, which makes a large number of outstanding talents emerge among American college students and graduate students. Although the intelligence level of China people is not low, they dare not think or speak because of their lack of autonomy and creativity. Therefore, China people are easy to find jobs and become mediocre scientists and university professors after education, but few people become world-class talents.
6. The critical period of language development is 3- 10 years old, that is, from childhood to middle school. During this period, China paid little attention to children's language training and the improvement of their reading level. According to the comparison of cross-cultural psychology between China and the United States, the reading level of China children is lower than that of American children 1- 1.5 years old. Children in China are generally not good at expressing their emotions (as are Taiwan Province and Japanese), and the efficiency of foreign language teaching and learning in China is very low. After studying English at school for ten years, students still can't talk to others. In Europe, college students can generally talk with people in three or four foreign languages. The main reason is not the universality of pinyin, but the cultural tradition, the importance attached to foreign languages and the level of foreign language teaching, including teaching materials, contents and methods.
7. China's family education parents' cultural quality is generally low, and most of them adopt "authoritarian" education, that is, they put forward many demands without consulting their children, and they also lack emotional communication and specific guidance. Parents only care about whether their children can get high marks, attend key schools and enter universities. Parents design blueprints for their children's growth. Even China's parents studying abroad; However, western parents generally have a high cultural quality, and cultural traditions make their family education methods, especially those above the middle class, mostly adopt "authoritative" education methods, that is, they make demands on their children, but discuss with them, communicate with them emotionally, and have specific guidance. Parents care more about their children's emotional and social development than their academic performance, respect their children's personal wishes and let them design their own growth blueprints.
8. The social ecology of the intermediate environment refers to the interaction between the two microenvironments in which children live as the intermediate environment. For example, the interaction between family and school belongs to the intermediate environment. In this regard, China is very poor, and there is little "equal dialogue" between schools and families; In the west (including Japan), parents' opinions play a great role in education. A "parent committee" composed of parents and teachers can decide many important matters of the school.
9. Student Life The life of primary and middle school students in China is like a "worker bee" collecting honey. They are tired and stressed about school life, but they are helpless. Otherwise, the pressure from parents will make them unable to survive. Children in the west live a real childlike life. Students like going to school and enjoying the environment there. 100% of the primary and secondary school students studying abroad in China are unwilling to return to China, which is the best proof and the most ironic evaluation of our current primary and secondary education system.
10. Finally, under the education system in China, most of the trained talents are mediocre. Although the IQ of college students in China may be the highest in the world (because the college entrance rate in China is only 3.4%, that is, only the students with the best intelligence can enter the school), there are few outstanding talents among college graduates in China, which can only meet the general development of national science and technology, but cannot meet the needs of fierce international high-tech competition. In contrast, there are fewer mediocre talents in education in western countries, while there are more losers and winners than in China. I visited the University of Melbourne. Every year, 30% college graduates can't get a bachelor's degree. They have to study for another year or two before they can get their degrees. As many as 99% of China University graduates have obtained bachelor's degrees. However, most of these "bachelors" just want to get their jobs. There are not many people who have the ambition to devote themselves to science and intend to fight for mankind, nation and country all their lives.
