In the humanities and social sciences, Japan is obviously higher than China. Japanese middle school students have been able to independently go to the library to look up documents, find information and complete a formal project. Their ideas are entirely based on interest, from anti-terrorism to world peace, from environmental protection to animal protection. In our opinion, some of them can only be completed after graduating from college. Japanese teachers always inspire children's self-expression, questioning and debating skills. Children never think that there is only one standard answer in the world. This ability to doubt cultivated since childhood is the creativity of the future. This is also a strong foundation for Japan. China's basic education is based on knowledge "learn more and understand less". Looking at Japan's basic education, it is an education to cultivate innovative ability, "learn less and understand more". China's basic education attaches importance to solidity, while Japanese education attaches importance to diversity; China's basic education pays attention to vertical depth, while Japanese basic education pays attention to breadth; Japanese basic education pays attention to cultivating students' self-confidence and self-improvement spirit, while China's basic education pays attention to cultivating students' rigorous academic attitude. Accordingly, the United States has a relaxed and free atmosphere, which can fully take care of every student's hobbies; Basic education in China is much more boring.
Students in China learn more, practice more, take more notes and take more exams, so as to cultivate children's ability to absorb knowledge, learn behavior and accept. Japanese students see more, ask more questions, think more and do more, and pay attention to cultivating students' critical thinking, independent thinking ability, creativity, practical ability to find and solve problems and apply what they have learned. Thinking deeply, I think, should we train candidates or students? It is the fundamental difference between Chinese and American education, and it is also the essential difference between exam-oriented education and quality education. Training candidates is to teach those who have problems no problem; Cultivating students is a problem of teaching without problems.
There are great differences between China and the United States in educational concepts, educational models and educational methods. Education in China is more of an example education; The United States emphasizes the spirit of innovation and individualism and is an elite education. In essence, focusing on innovation or laying a foundation is the fundamental difference between American basic education and China basic education.
In winter in Japan, although the room is as warm as spring, children wear thin sweaters and pants to run and play in the ice and snow outside. The family diet in Japan is very simple. Even if you are the son of a chaebol, you won't have a unique luxury mentality from an early age. These make us China people always hungry when we go to Japan, but Japanese children are healthy. They have learned to be tough and tenacious in the cold wind and poverty, their bodies have been exercised to the greatest extent, and their hearts have been tempered with perseverance and fortitude. When children have friction and get along with each other in the game, Japanese parents always let their children reflect on their own problems first. A large part of their national spirit is unity.
Let's see our parents in China. Before winter is over, they put on thick winter clothes for their children, and try to give them delicious food at home and give them whatever they want, so that children's hospitals are crowded every year when the seasons change, and children have disputes and frictions. Our parents always look for kindergarten teachers or other parents to solve them for their children. The spirit of arrogance and jiao is vividly reflected in our Chinese sons and daughters.
In Japan, children's toys are rarely bought, and they are basically made by parents. In order to be like others, many children from single-parent families in Japan will make their own toys when they have no parents to make them. In the game, no one laughs at the quality of your toy materials, but it would be a pity if their toys broke down because of the quality of production. This kind of shame is a great wealth to a child's psychological endurance and practical ability, and to his later life.
Having said that, I am not completely denying our educational methods, but it seems that Japanese education should be more responsible for the future of children and the future of the country. Quality education has been called for many years in our country. How many parents really face quality education? In Xi 'an today and China today, which parent will take off their children's cotton-padded clothes and exercise in the snow? Which parent will let their children eat only 70% full simple meals? Who would have thought that parents would make a toy for their children in their busy work?
Generally speaking, Japanese education comes from China ~ plus their samurai spirit, Britain is the education of real society, the United States is the education of practice, and China is more complicated, but there is no practice ~ ~!
