It's not very big, but it can also earn nearly 20 thousand I can work occasionally, and I don't worry about starving to death.
But there is no universal health insurance in China. There is a big family behind me, and my mother and stepfather are laid off. My mother is in poor health, and many relatives are in the countryside. I am particularly afraid that they will get sick. My grandfather died last month, and he asked me to spend money when he was in hospital. I sent $65,438+0,000 from abroad, and they can spend 8,000 RMB, so they can survive, but now it is more difficult.
Beijing News: Have you told Wang Chuang about this dilemma?
Don: He understood, too. Say. Let's communicate better. He can only say that we should improve together and improve together now. I hope to complete some projects, have better cooperation and interaction with enterprises, and make schools have more income, thus increasing teachers' class fees. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is a school directly under the Ministry of Education, and he has no way to change the basic salary, because the basic salary standard is stipulated by the state.
Actually, the design is quite expensive.
Designing a model car abroad may actually cost more than buying a model car, because they are sponsored by large enterprises, so it is better. However, it seems that China enterprises have no awareness and tax support policies in this regard.
Teaching reform is a good thing, but other measures should also keep up.
Beijing News: What do you think of the teaching reform in domestic universities, such as the appointment system?
Tang: It is a good thing to implement the teaching reform and appointment system now, which can promote the enthusiasm of teachers. But you cancelled the house. After the employment system, the house was gone and the money didn't increase at all. What about the house? My monthly rent allowance is only 70 yuan. Where do you want me to rent a house? So it's only the reform in China that has pushed everyone into competition, which is of course a good thing, but you should also keep up with other measures, whether it's housing or medical insurance.
Beijing News: Are there any friends around you who have suffered like you?
Tang: As far as I know, many international students come back from Britain, Australia and other countries because it is difficult to find jobs in these countries. But it seems that not many people really come back from America.
Or they are stationed in China, earning American wages, and living in China, of course. I haven't seen anyone who has completely given up his job in the United States and come back to get a salary in China, except our Wang Chuang. We artists are still idealistic, but realism is very popular now.
The gap between China and foreign countries lies in attaching importance to people or machines.
Beijing News: You don't seem as busy as your colleagues?
Don: They are all very busy. To tell the truth, if they have jobs outside, they should be part-time teachers in the United States because they don't have full-time jobs. Being a teacher in America is busy enough for them. Few teachers still have jobs outside. According to this standard, people feel that only the leaders are full-time and the whole hospital is a part-time teacher.
Beijing News: Why do you think so many teachers can work part-time? Do you think this is the teacher's impetuousness or the society's impetuousness?
Don: I think if I choose a teacher, I should pay more attention to it. I think many teachers are like me. As long as I solve the problems of life and food and clothing, I won't think about what to do outside. Just concentrate on doing some academics. In fact, it is not easy to teach a course well, and it needs investment.
But there is no way. They don't do part-time jobs. Where did they get the money? Now that the house doesn't fit, I still have to buy a house. Where does the money come from, right? Another is my feeling of returning to China. Everyone in China is anxious and impetuous, and will do whatever it takes to make money.
Beijing News: How big is the gap between domestic teaching hardware and foreign ones?
Don: I'm quite satisfied with that. Although it will be worse than American private universities, it will even be better than some public universities. We spent a lot of money on machine tools this year.
But I think the difference lies in whether people are important or machines are important. People will be regarded as the most important in foreign countries, but they don't feel this way at home. They will think that a machine tool can be used for several years for millions, but they don't know that a person can be used for decades.
Beijing News: Do you think domestic talents are not valued? Do you have any personal experience in this respect?
Tang: The Academy of Fine Arts also invited foreign teachers and foreign faces. Their salary is definitely higher than ours, and it must be calculated in dollars. In fact, hiring a foreigner usually requires an interpreter, which is actually very expensive, but I don't think they have to pay more than me.
Sometimes leaders also find that some foreign faces have limited talents, but they are needed to support the scene.
In fact, these foreigners, except the companies stationed in China, either really love China culture, or they can't stay in their own country, and they are not all genuine. Reusing foreigners is also not conducive to cultivating their own talents. Nowadays, China companies attach importance to foreign designers, which makes students studying design in China feel very uneasy. They can't see their own.
China University must actively carry out system reform, pursue the coordinated development of "scale, structure, quality and benefit", and change the "surplus" situation that a large number of foreign students have unilaterally exported for a long time.
This was expressed by Xu Zhihong, president of Peking University, at a recent forum on "Strategic Planning and Management of Universities under the Background of Internationalization". Xu Zhihong said that internationalization has brought many challenges to China University, mainly in the impact on the tradition and characteristics of running a school, and it has also led to the establishment of many unified standards, such as the admission standards for disciplines such as economics and management.
Xu Zhihong believes that under this background, the majors of literature, history and philosophy in some traditional universities in China are gradually shrinking because they are not accepted by the market; At the same time, driven by commercial profits and economic interests, the international competition among countries in international students and transnational education is becoming increasingly fierce. Developed countries are in an advantageous position, and the economic income brought by international students alone is very considerable every year, while developing countries have lost a large number of outstanding talents.
"In recent years, the proportion of our undergraduate' exports' has begun to decline, and the rate of going abroad is around 23%. This figure is quite reasonable. " Xu Zhihong pointed out that a certain proportion of China students should receive postgraduate education abroad, because the biggest gap between Chinese and foreign education is postgraduate education.
Zhang Li, director of the National Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education, also believes that the strategic orientation of China University should be "employment-oriented, service-oriented, and support-oriented", and the training mode of non-traditional majors and vocational education should be selected to the greatest extent.
"To cultivate innovative talents under the background of globalization, we must first adjust the structure of discipline institutions and disciplines with similar or complementary research directions according to market and social needs, organically integrate and optimize the allocation of academic resources, and create key projects." Hao Ping, president of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said in an interview with China Business News.
What is the difference between Chinese and foreign education for middle school teachers studying in Britain?
-
Excerpt from: Xinhuanet 2002.04. 16 07: 14.
British schools have big exams every year, and the scores of students in each school are open. How much is the average score and how much is higher than last year? Be sure to make a list.
In Britain, the amount of homework for each grade is clearly defined. 1 grade, leaving half an hour of homework every day, increasing year by year. The amount of homework in high school is similar to ours. ...
"English teachers never tell their students that you are wrong."
"Teachers in Britain are particularly good at asking why or how, while teachers in China love to ask what."
"The most worthwhile thing for us to learn from British education is that it evaluates a school not by the final entrance examination results, but mainly by the degree of improvement of students in this school."
Recently, the first batch of 32 foreign teachers in the scholarship program for outstanding foreign language teachers in primary and secondary schools returned to Beijing after studying at Nottingham University for six months. British education left a deep impression on them.
When they came back, everyone paid a fine for their overweight luggage.
On the way back, at the airport, 32 teachers each paid a fine of 20 pounds for overweight luggage, which was the result of lenient punishment. If these regulations are really implemented, some teachers may be fined several hundred pounds.
Their luggage is overweight because they have brought too many books and various materials.
"There are too many useful and interesting books and materials in Britain. When packing, we all said that even if we throw everything away, we should bring these materials to the students. " Miao, a teacher of Chucai Experimental Middle School in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, lamented that "there are too few textbooks available in China, and the bookstore is full of materials to guide the exam".
High school attached to northeast normal university's teacher Zhao Jie copied three big books completely. She and Miao agreed: "In many bookstores, problem sets and tutorial books occupy most of the shelves, but there are few books about learning methods and information content expansion. If the teacher does not have perfect teaching materials, it is difficult to update the teaching methods only by reviewing the materials. "
After Wang Lin of Guiyang No.1 Middle School went to England, he read a lot of books on pedagogy, which made him feel refreshed. But the publication date was actually in the 1970s. She said: "There are really too few modern theoretical books to guide primary and secondary education in China."
"In the future, in class, I must tolerate students and fully affirm them."
Teacher Ren Changming from Karamay No.1 Middle School in Xinjiang, the deepest feeling of this trip is: "In the future, we must be kind to students, tolerate students and fully affirm students."
The feeling of being a teacher comes from my experience as a student in England. "When we are in class, no matter what opinions are expressed, the professor's evaluation is always' maybe' or' possible'. This kind of fuzzy evaluation can give students sufficient thinking space. However, in our domestic classroom teaching, it is often a sentence. If the teacher says A, the students can't say B. "
Teacher Wang Lin feels the same way: "In Britain, no matter a professor in a university or a teacher in a primary or secondary school, you never say' you are wrong' to your students. Sometimes, even if the professor doesn't agree with us, he will say OK, just implying to the students in other ways that your ideas need to be supplemented and perfected. Teachers always encourage students. "
Among these 32 teachers, there are junior high school teachers and senior high school teachers. When we communicate together, we all feel that China students are very active in primary schools and have the courage to speak in junior high schools. But after entering high school, most students become silent, and the classroom in high school is the most boring.
Wang Lin believes that the main reason for this phenomenon is that China students are constantly being corrected from childhood to adulthood. With the growth of age, children's self-esteem is getting stronger and stronger. If they are often denied by teachers in class, they will feel ashamed and become more and more shy and silent for fear of making mistakes.
Ren Changming also pointed out that the goal of our basic education is too high, and it is difficult for a considerable number of students to achieve this goal. Over time, students are prone to frustration and gradually lose confidence in themselves.
When he talked about visiting a middle school in England, he saw a place called design room and thought he was taking a very advanced course. When he went in, he found that the students were just doing simple needlework. "The course should not be too difficult. It can give students a sense of accomplishment and make them in a positive state, which is conducive to enhancing self-confidence."
Examinations may not only have negative effects, but also depend on what to take and how to take them.
A teacher said that it was thought that there were few foreign exams, but it was discovered in Britain that it was also a big country in exams, with several big exams every year, and the scores of students in each school were open, and the average scores and the improvement over last year should be posted. 1 if the scores of schools drop for several years in a row, they are likely to be disqualified, so the competition between schools is fierce.
However, Teacher He Qingyou said that the examination questions in Britain are very flexible. For example, Shakespeare is tested every time in its literature class, but students are not allowed to talk about the central idea and theme significance, but their own understanding. Therefore, He Laoshi's conclusion is: "Exams don't necessarily have negative effects. What matters is what to take and how to take them."
Wang Lin introduced that some time ago, we engaged in "reducing the burden" and prevented teachers from leaving homework for students. In Britain, the amount of homework for each grade is clearly defined. 1 grade, leaving half an hour of homework every day, increasing year by year. The amount of homework in high school is similar to ours. "Actually," she said, "the key is the content of the homework. Many of our homework is by rote. For example, some teachers leave homework for students to copy texts. Such homework is meaningless. "
British education attaches importance to the process, while our education attaches importance to the result.
In a middle school in England, Wang Lin listened to a literature class about Shakespeare's masterpiece Macbeth. This topic has been discussed for two weeks. The teacher gives all the tasks to the students, who read the original work and check the background themselves. In class, the teacher asked the students to analyze the characters' personalities, and finally asked, "Why do you think so?"
Wang Lin found that teachers in Britain are particularly good at asking "why" or "how", while teachers in China love asking "what".
He Qingyou said that this is the biggest difference between Chinese and English education. British education emphasizes process, while China education emphasizes result.
The difference between process and result is very prominent in the evaluation of teachers and schools. Wang Lin said that when we evaluate teachers, test scores are still the most important indicators. In Britain, the evaluation system for teachers consists of several indicators, including students' opinions, parents' opinions, colleagues' opinions and the headmaster's own evaluation.
He Qingyou said that the most worthwhile thing for us to learn from British education is that it evaluates a school not by the final entrance examination results, but mainly by the progress of its students. When each student enters school, a database of comprehensive ability tendency evaluation will be established, and the school will follow up every year to observe the improvement of this student. Unlike in China, there are great differences between key schools and ordinary schools in terms of the quality of students, teachers and teaching conditions, and the final exam results are naturally far from each other.
Ten major gaps in foreign education
Author: Xinjiang diplomacy … article source: original hits: 7 16 update time: February 20, 2006
There are ten gaps between general education in China and western developed countries.
The general education in our country has developed to this day. Compared with before and after the Cultural Revolution and the 1980s, it has made great progress and is moving towards normalization, which plays an important role in the whole education system. However, compared with western developed countries, there is still a gap of 10 in education in China:
1, the gap between teachers' educational concepts.
At present, the educational concepts that actually work in China are as follows: (1) Students are born ignorant and need adult supervision, so the relationship between parents, teachers and students is supervised and supervised, not equal; (2) For thousands of years, the influence of "the dignity of the teacher" and "the monarch, the minister and the son" still plays an important role invisibly, and teachers require students to respect them far more than students respect them; (3) Many teachers can't treat students equally, especially those who are backward in learning with slow intellectual development or poor social development, and adopt an attitude of laissez-faire, abandonment and even discrimination; (4) Because society and parents attach importance to students' intellectual development, most teachers only attach importance to the management of students' learning, but not to the cultivation of students' independence and creativity; (5) Many schools adopt barracks-style management to students, which restricts their freedom, and takes this as the reason for the high enrollment rate; (6) Many teachers believe that ideological education for students depends on indoctrination and compulsory education. Many parents impose their will on their children. When considering the way to train children and designing blueprints for children, the psychological and physical characteristics of children, especially their wishes, are not taken into account. All these make China students in a state of all-round and free personality development, which is at an extremely unfavorable position compared with young students in western countries.
2. The gap of teachers' education level.
The gap between teachers in China and western countries in academic level is very significant. For example, in most western developed countries, kindergarten and primary school teachers must have college education or above and corresponding qualification certificates. In the United States, about 40% of kindergarten directors and primary school principals have doctoral and master's degrees, and about 30% of middle school teachers have doctoral and master's degrees.
3. The gap of teachers' professional skills.
Most primary and secondary school teachers in developed countries belong to theoretical teachers, that is, they are more or less consciously guided by one or more theories in their own educational and teaching practice. For example, in the United States, there are various educational theory research centers and national networks, and hundreds of thousands of primary and secondary school teachers participate in the activities of these research networks, which is also an important basis for their promotion and salary increase. In contrast, most teachers in our country are experienced, and most of them teach according to their past teacher experience, colleague experience and their own practical experience.
4. The gap between school and class management.
There is an irreparable gap between developed countries and China in school management, which is mainly manifested in two essential aspects: the way of teachers' appointment and the determination of teachers' treatment. The competition mechanism makes foreign teachers have to work hard. There is also a big gap in school personnel management, class management and student management.
5. The gap in the examination and selection system.
At present, China's national unified college entrance examination and unified examinations for senior high schools and junior high schools in various places have become the "baton" to guide the teaching direction of primary and secondary schools, and also become an important reason to limit the development of general education in China. Compared with the examination system implemented in western countries, this examination selection system is far behind.
6. The gap between teacher education and psychological literacy.
Primary and secondary school teachers in western developed countries have to take part in all kinds of training both at school and after work. Their education and psychological literacy are generally high, and they often get the latest education and scientific research information at the fastest speed. On the one hand, the training received by teachers in China is not strict enough; On the other hand, the textbooks of pedagogy and psychology in universities and normal schools in China are very backward; On the other hand, the resources of books and materials in our school are far behind those in foreign countries.
7. The blank of students' mental health education.
Primary and secondary schools in western countries are generally equipped with specially trained psychological counselors. For example, in Western Europe and Northern Europe, there is one counselor for every 3,000 students on average. They can effectively solve the problem that the so-called "psychological consultation" among students is not standardized.
8. The gap between students in mastering the language.
Foreign college students and middle school students, except for mastering their own language, generally have higher foreign language ability than our country. For example, college students in Western Europe and Northern Europe are generally proficient in using 2-3 foreign languages. However, China students have studied a foreign language for about 65,438+00 years at school, but they can't use it skillfully when they graduate, which greatly limits their ability to communicate with foreigners.
9. The gap between students' all-round and harmonious development and socialization.
Because children and adolescents in developed countries have been in a relatively free and relaxed environment since childhood, parents, teachers and other adults in society all adopt an equal and respectful attitude towards them, which makes their personality development more free and harmonious. In terms of socialization, their social communication ability, language expression ability and emotional development are much better than those of domestic children.
10, the gap between students' abilities, especially their social skills.
In our country, students are immersed in the sea of questions all day because of the baton of the college entrance examination. Their study life can be summarized in eight words: rote memorization, hard study and hard calculation. Although they only have more knowledge than foreign students, and their computing ability can even be said to be the first in the world, these abilities are useless when they enter the society. In contrast, students in developed countries are much better than students in China in practical ability, problem-solving ability, independent thinking ability and social communication ability.
What's the difference between Chinese and foreign education?
Source: Release Date: April 2, 20021
Wu Jin: As a teacher, my idea is that the reform of contemporary education is not a simple reform of teaching results, but a reform of teaching system. Try not to do something, such as: the teacher has never used a computer, but he is qualified to take the computer test. The teacher of rural local dialect is holding a ridiculous thing of Putonghua level 2. For the sake of children's future, I hope to cultivate some practical talents. Instead of some people just getting a diploma, they are not clear about the concept of the country and the nation. We are strict with the education team. For tomorrow, we will not be bullied in the world. Let's make the best use of our talents!
Njchjb: The renewal of teachers' ideas may improve teaching behavior and provide a supportive environment for students' development. It's just possible. In order to put advanced educational ideas into practice, teachers need a supportive environment objectively besides subjective factors.
Basketball King: What we advocate now is quality education. We can reach the next level only by looking at the results, regardless of the process. In essence, it is a turn-over and deepening of exam-oriented education. It's hard to understand that middle school students in 2 1 century want shine on you more than blue! At present, education is moving towards an irregular and chaotic situation.
W 1: We study outside. Usually, when we see what we see in our eyes, but we don't realize the aspects, we suddenly realize that, in short, I say the teacher can't explain it. Why am I so sure? Please learn the importance and continuity of what you are good at. Continuation of thinking ability? Teachers can help students, so can students help teachers? The teacher thinks the students are incompetent? Students have no ability, why don't we cultivate them? The idea is mutual. Can students not do it with each other? Can you serve the society? How does our teacher serve the students? Why not comment on students, why not say that teachers can't? We hope our children are better than us. We are just helping students to establish good living habits and learning methods. Do we? To be sure, we didn't do it, so we went to study? Is it? Ask more why? How considerate?
Mu Yi: Management education is a layman. What do you want to do with education? This is not the sorrow of education, but the sorrow of the whole nation. Have you found that education in rural areas has reached the point where wages cannot be paid, while other industries can earn all kinds of income? Education has become the most bullying profession in the world, especially in some small and medium-sized cities! Saving education is a century-long plan!
Cold eyes: Education in China is getting worse and worse. The leaders of the education department think that a few more inspections can improve the quality of education, but the actual situation is the opposite. How can we educate students to be honest and evaluate outstanding students, and some even let students cheat together? As a front-line teacher and the school itself, it is miserable to deal with this inspection and that appraisal all day. Teachers have no time to study textbooks, tutor students, do business, and deal with various leaders every day. Students who used to be exam-oriented education had high scores and low ability, but now they are quality education. I'm afraid students' scores are not high and their ability is not high. Urgent appeal: also educate a sunny sky and a peaceful one.
Victims: Appeal: The state can set up special schools for compulsory education for students with mental retardation. At present, the fees charged by schools with mental retardation are too high for families with difficulties to accept. These students are a kind of destruction to themselves and the teachers in normal schools. Teachers spend most of their limited energy on these students and have no time to take care of outstanding students, which is a waste of talents for students and the country.
Lin Sheng: It is a cliche to say that "classroom teaching in China is often centralized, teachers say A, but students can't say B". Students can't say "you are wrong" when they are wrong, but they turn a blind eye to the work and contribution of our teachers and want to kill them with a stick. Is this right?
Teacher: I don't think this is a problem. How many people are there in a teaching class in Britain and in China? People's energy is limited. In the face of many classmates, we can only do this. I remember watching an English film about a music teacher. The students complained that she was too strict. The headmaster wants to talk to her. She changed her teaching methods, but most students in the class have opinions. The student's words are like this. There are too many gentle teachers, so we need different teachers.
