What's the difference between education in China and foreign countries?
Educational differences between China and foreign countries: \ r \ nFirst, the educational concept is different \ r \ nChina's educational concept is completely different from that of the United States, and the biggest difference is that China emphasizes indoctrination education. China students have a solid foundation, which is an advantage, but it also has shortcomings. Students in China always cringe when facing new things. Compared with American students, their sense of innovation is very poor. Whether it is the course study report, design report or final exam of each course, Huada pays more attention to whether the students' answers meet the "standards"; American universities pay more attention to practice and creative thinking in practice. This is also an important difference between domestic education and western education. \ r \ China students often have amazing memory ability and good math foundation, which is also the reason why China students can get good grades in exam-oriented education. American higher education requires students to participate more, practice more and create more. Many courses have arranged time for teaching activities such as case study and discussion and student-centered case analysis and presentation. The teacher's face-to-face teaching time for students is very short, accounting for about 30% of the students' study time. The rest of the time depends on students' self-study, going to the library to consult materials and discuss with each other, so as to learn relevant knowledge. In the process of participation and practice, students' self-study and problem-solving ability have been improved. Because they change passive learning into active learning and have different attitudes, the learning effect is very different. \ r \ The classroom atmosphere in America is very active, and students can interrupt the teacher's lecture and ask questions at any time. Although some questions seem simple, teachers will answer them seriously. Some questions are so sharp that students can even refute the teacher's point of view. Course assignments usually require students to critically discuss current policies or evaluation methods. Teachers in American colleges and universities mainly encourage students' course reports or course designs: praise students for their unique thinking and unusual opinions; Even if some students' reports have just passed, teachers can find the highlights of the article from the reports to encourage them. These encouragements greatly enhance students' self-confidence and can understand the problems in their reports. \r\n The American education system pays more attention to students' all-round development, their ability to communicate with others and other social activities, and cultivates their sense of teamwork; However, domestic students pay more attention to test scores and self-development, and their team consciousness is not strong. \r\n American higher education attaches importance to the standard of information literacy ability, and requires every student to actively study, search for information through various channels, determine a practical and comprehensive plan, and absorb knowledge by himself in an orderly manner. The information literacy education in American colleges and universities focuses on cultivating students with high sense of responsibility, social sense, self-management ability and certain moral literacy, and becoming an information literate person. \ r \ Due to the different educational systems, students in China have poor awareness of active learning. College students are inferior to American students in foreign languages, computers and basic information retrieval skills. They don't know how to learn, how to form their own new ideas, how to set learning goals and how to choose good learning methods. \ r \ nIn addition, the University of Minnesota is people-oriented, attaches great importance to human dignity and value, respects and guarantees people's right to survival and development, and places great emphasis on everyone's sense of belonging to the collective, which has left a deep impression on me. At the beginning of the school year, the school distributed a large number of welcome books, promotional materials and small gifts to new students, highlighting the characteristics of the school and winning the recognition of students. All kinds of materials, stationery, clothing and so on printed with Minda logo can be seen everywhere, forming a strong visual impact. Organize a large number of community activities during the semester to exchange and cultivate friendship and feelings between students of different nationalities. Many of these practices are worth learning and learning from our university, so as to build a campus culture with its own characteristics and enhance the cohesion and attraction of the school. \ r \ nSecond, the research modes of Chinese and American universities are different \ r \ nFrom the research results of teachers, with the enhancement of the overall research strength of society, people's expectations of universities are getting higher and higher, and universities are facing more and more research topics and goals. At present, colleges and universities in China have rigid requirements for teachers' scientific research work, and have established corresponding incentive and assessment mechanisms, with the original intention of improving teachers' scientific research ability and making them have more scientific research achievements. However, the mechanism itself has some shortcomings. In order to complete the number of papers in the employment period, teachers grab a hot topic casually and search for two or three days through the internet, which leads to the low quality of scientific research of university teachers and the phenomenon of "academic corruption" can be seen everywhere. The general formulation of academic corruption in the United States is "unfair scientific behavior". According to the definition of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and other authoritative departments, improper scientific behavior refers to "fabrication, tampering or plagiarism in the process of proposing, developing and evaluating scientific research projects or reporting scientific research results". The policy adopted by the United States on academic corruption is to expose and investigate, which is mainly undertaken by the scientific community who knows the inside story. However, the office has prepared a set of very detailed countermeasures for legal problems that may arise during the investigation, including how to obtain material evidence and summon witnesses. From the author's understanding of Minda University, American university teachers are also under great pressure in scientific research, but they can seriously and wholeheartedly study one or two topics during their tenure. It often takes several years to achieve a result, which can be called "grinding a sword in ten years". Academic corruption and plagiarism are basically invisible. \ r \ nThirdly, the student management system of China University is different from \ r \ nStudents. The class teacher or counselor accepts the leadership of the Student Affairs Department of the Party Committee and provides ideological and political education, management and service to students. The focus of counselors' work in China lies in ideological and political education for students, mainly the education of ideals and beliefs, the education of current affairs policies of the party and the country, etc. In management, including stable work, scholarship management, student team building, class daily affairs and so on. Services include financial aid services, student loans, psychological and vocational counseling. At the same time, it is necessary to accept the leadership of the department and assist the department to do a good job in teaching services. The advantage of this management system is that schools can keep abreast of students' study, life and ideological trends. If problems are found, it can contact and communicate with class teachers and teachers in various ways to solve the problems in time and avoid the occurrence of adverse events. However, the very specialized services such as psychological counseling and career counseling in student management in China are far from meeting the needs of students, mainly because we started late and the personnel and counseling content are not professional enough. \ r \ There is no concept of class in American student management. After entering the school, students can get a degree as long as they complete the required credits at the specified time. Students take a variety of courses, and students of the same major may not take the same course at the same time. There is no class teacher. The job responsibilities of American student counselors have three main components: psychological counseling, career counseling and social counseling. Counselors mainly provide personal or group counseling to students through counseling programs, which can promote their psychological health, cultivate job-hunting skills, and teach them how to socialize and how to be a person. Psychological counselors in the United States mainly serve, so they can apply the cutting-edge theories and practices of psychology, medicine, management, organizational behavior and public relations to provide counseling and services to students in psychological counseling, career counseling, study counseling and life counseling. The focus of American counselors' work is on consulting services outside teaching. In colleges and universities, counselors are managed by appointment system. When counselors are needed, students can make an appointment with the learning center. The counseling center will arrange specific counselors for individual counseling or group counseling according to specific circumstances. Although the counselor system in the United States provides adequate services for students' job-hunting skills and social skills, it fails to grasp students' psychological state in time because of the passivity of their work. Moreover, because there is no class teacher, they regard students' personal life as privacy and do not interfere, which leads to frequent shootings on campus, because American schools do not understand students' lives. \ r \ Through the above comparison, it does not mean that the American higher education system or China's education system is better, and different education systems are suitable for different social environments. However, it is worth considering that the rampant academic corruption in China can be avoided to a great extent if the advanced concepts of scientific research management system in American universities are introduced under the premise of conforming to China's national conditions. In addition, China's education system not only pays attention to students' test scores and self-development, but also pays more attention to students' all-round development, communication and other social skills, and cultivates students' team consciousness, which will make the students trained by China University have strong personal ability and team consciousness, and China's higher education will also be among the best in the world.
