When our children are busy reciting ancient poems in kindergarten, foreign children are doing small scientific experiments according to formal requirements.
While our students are racking their brains in various complicated and abstract word games, math games and thinking the game, foreign students are writing research papers, doing social surveys and learning mechanical operations. In short, when we try our best in the narrow known circle, people have developed the necessary comprehensive literacy in the vast unknown world.
By comparison, we found that:
The curriculum of basic education abroad emphasizes application, practice, innovation, life knowledge and vocational skills.
China's curriculum emphasizes books, theory, accumulation, abstract knowledge and exam-oriented skills.
Foreign education pays attention to let students know themselves, society, occupation and life.
Education in China focuses on making students understand exams, books, social class and competition for survival.
It is not difficult to see from the comparison that the ability gap between Chinese and foreign children is gradually widening and increasing. To be exact, the gap between Chinese and foreign doctoral students' scientific research ability and creative ability began in early childhood and gradually increased in primary and secondary schools.
The process of comparison makes us notice that:
Foreign children are appreciated when they are best at fantasy and develop their imagination;
At the time of my strongest expressive ability, I was encouraged and developed my expressive ability.
Receive training when I like to do it best to cultivate my hands-on ability;
When I was most curious, I got the opportunity and developed my exploration ability.
