1, the differences of family education between China and Japan

I have always felt that education is not just learning, but family education is also a part of education. In China, many families are only divided into grades, and academic achievements account for the highest proportion in education, which ignores the education in families.

For example, many times when eating, parents ask their children, "How was your study today? Did the teacher understand in class? " Or "How did you get along with your classmates today?" Very common things, many parents may not pay attention. Usually, teachers talk about knowledge in class, so it is difficult for us to learn how to get along with others in class, so family education is also essential. Especially when I was a child, I was a left-behind child, and there was no adult to popularize educational knowledge.

In Japanese education, Japanese mothers attach importance to the moral cultivation of preschool children, and cultivate their children's good living habits and the ability to communicate with others and the surrounding world in the process of family moral education. In addition, stay-at-home wives in Japanese communities regularly organize "Mother's Reading Club" and other exchange activities to discuss "methods of adopting children" [1]. In Japan, many families are full-time wives, so children receive adequate family education.

So compared with Japan, China knows the importance of family education, but the Japanese are worth learning.

Third, the differences between Chinese and Japanese school education.

School education is education received at school. Let's talk about school education experience first. The content of cultural education received since childhood is very rich. In the nine-year compulsory education stage, in addition to Chinese, mathematics, English and other major subjects, music, physical education, art, science and so on will be involved every week. This advantage is to let children develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically.

But Japan is different. In class, watch the teacher play with Japanese children preparing their own meals. Japanese children learn to cultivate their independence and self-reliance at an early age. The core of Japanese education is "learning to live". Some kindergartens seem to pay no attention to children's knowledge education at all. Children don't have textbooks, and there are no math, pseudonym, painting, music and other items in the school's teaching plan.

The content of education is to let children learn to laugh and learn to say "thank you" and other basic etiquette. In Japanese primary education, there are few written homework, and after-school homework is sometimes just to help parents do a housework and say "I love you" to their parents.

School education in China pays more attention to knowledge learning, while Japanese cultural education pays more attention to practicality. Comparatively speaking, China's school education can export a large number of talents for the country. However, due to learning knowledge from an early age and lack of practical experience, the awareness of innovation is insufficient. Perhaps in the past 19 years, the Japanese Nobel Prize in Natural Science far exceeded that of China 19: 1.

Fourthly, the differences between Chinese and Japanese university education.

Judging from the course selection system, most of them are their own professional courses in the last semester, and the professional courses are basically selected according to the end of the college entrance examination.

However, in Japan, there is still a period of audition to choose the course you want to attend, so that you have sufficient choice space. But for those who have no purpose or want to mix things up, such course selection may not be meaningful.

Judging from the assessment system, Japanese education usually pays more attention to quality education, and teachers are reserved as masters to ask students to submit reports (small papers) to improve students' ability to analyze problems and write papers, while China still focuses on the mid-term and final exams, but will also take the usual grades as one of the assessment contents.

Judging from the choice after graduation, Japan tends to alienate those with high academic qualifications, because most of the talents needed by enterprises are "business people" rather than highly educated masters and doctors, so most college graduates choose employment, and few people go to college for further study. In China, more and more undergraduates are pursuing postgraduate degrees, especially in recent years.
