The basic issue of education is what kind of people we want to cultivate to be,and how to cultivate them.The concept of value,purpose of education and method of education between Chinese Education System and Western Education System are differentiated in many academic fields.
When Chinese teachers talk about western education they think it is all the same in every western or foreign country but education is very different in England from America while Australia is different again from England and America and South Africa is very different again with its heavy teaching of African culture
From a very young age,western little kids are encouraged to be little individuals,entitled to their own opinions and expressions of creativity.This manifests in the way kids are encouraged to make choices from everything including what color underwear they want to wear to the methods they want to go about creating a craft project.Chinese little kids are taught and encouraged to behave and act like others in the community.Children are expected to wear similar clothing,and perform activities exactly as they are taught.
叶老说的,教育是农业,不是工业。实际告诉我们:教育是个慢工作,不是快活;教育需遵循自然规律,不可盲从,不能拔苗助长,不能一切切,一个模子出学生;要因材施教,因人而宜,不拘一格培养人才……
The current education in china still at the up and coming way because the average of educated citizen inraising trend.The another reason is the parent adhere some adverse charactor especially the want their children follow and become prominent in education,the chinese always keep in mind that with education their children definately will bocome somebody in future,as if everybody become somebody then nobody will become nobody,rushing the children with education can retard the right brain development yet lead to less creative citizen in mere future.
“教育”一词的汉字解释.“教”意为“老师全职授业”,强调全日制和专职性质,这是从“孝”的本义引申和转义而来的.“孝”本指子女为了全天照顾病危老人而彻底放弃田产和耕作,转义为全脱产受课业,从而有了”老师全天专职教授“的意思,并进一步发展出“像侍奉父母那样尊崇老师”的含义.“育”字从云从肉,“肉”指“人体”;“云”本义为“旋转聚合”,如天空中四散的雾气通过旋转聚合过程而同化成大云团的一分子,转义为“同化”,所以“育”是指对已经存在于世的人(即“肉”)进行同化工作,即对未成年人灌输社会主流价值观,使之能顺利进入主流社会,成长为社会有用的人;对野蛮人,则采取“一帮一”即一个文明人与一个野蛮人结对帮扶的促使其放弃落后的思想观念和习俗,转而尊崇和接受先进的中华文明理念和习俗,成为中华文明圈的一分子(请参考“仁”字的本义解释).简而言之,“教”是指老师全身心授业,“育”指同化未成年人和蛮族人士,使这两种人成为中华文明社会的合格成员.
教学是教师的教和学生的学所组成的一种人类特有的人才培养活动.通过这种活动,教师有目的、有计划、有组织地引导学生积极自觉地学习和加速掌握文化科学基础知识和基本技能,促进学生多方面素质全面提高,使他们成为社会所需要的人.
