Deng Xiaoping ever said that education need to face moderniza

5、tion, world and future .We mustnt not only to know our own education, but we need to learn other countries , especially American education. Only combining other countries education, the ministry of education can make Chinese education more perfect. This thesis is aimed to lead you to discuss the dif

6、ference of Chinese and American education and how can we improve our education.I. Chinese and American Home Education is Different.American education system in the United States is the worlds cause of education of the most developed countries in the world. American education system as early as the f

7、ounding of beginning to take shape when, after 200 years of development and gradually perfect, Formation of the primary, secondary and tertiary institutions 3. More than half of American universities are private, because these universities, first by the Church and other religious groups founded, Alt

8、hough these schools are still with the church was inextricably linked, but they no longer mainly to a religious education. All 50 states, almost every state has at least one state government or local investors founded by public universities, Although the source of funding and Mody University 3differ

9、ent, but the structure and the curriculum does not have much difference. Americas current institutions are largely overlapping part of Chinese gown, 2002, or four years of academic, as more than two-year technical colleges and community colleges. The family is the most important place for the enligh

10、tenment education of children, it plays an important role in the future for good habit forming. The two countries have significant differences in family education, such as the relationship in the family, America parents pay more attention to equality with the children together; In the concepts, most

11、 parents in China hope their children can rise head and shoulders above others, but beautiful country attach more importance to improve childrens ability to adapt to survive; The way of education, China parents like an alternative, and America parents prefer to let the children hands-on.(Zeng Zhilan

12、,1)1.1. Education Concepts are Different. In China, the parents are more concerned about their childrens future .they think the most important is that their children can find a good job and have a happy life. So the parents do almost everything to make their children live wonderfully. They pay more

13、attention to their childrens life and intelligence rather than childrens independence and ability. However, American parents focus on childrens experience and ability. There is am example A Chinese father saw his son, Denis, fighting with the son of his foreign boss. He let Denis to apologize to the

14、 bosss son. But his son refused .He gave his son a 4slap in the face. He did it out of respect to his boss, meaning that “because of you, I will punish my son“. But this scene made his boss surprised and puzzled. Why a father to say that? A significant difference between the two countries in this is

15、 the family education existing. The traditional Chinese education emphasized benevolence and obedience, and America family is focused on justice and freedom. Chinese parents usually like “shape“ the child, wanting their children to develop according to their own will. They often use their reason to

16、interfere with childrens natural development, thus largely deprive their children of the right to freedom of choice. American family is more emphasis on autonomy of the children, let ting the children learn in the community under the conditions allowed to make their own decisions, solving their own

17、problems encountered by independent.1.2.The Goal is Different.Family education purpose restricting the direction of family education, to determine the overall effect, so the purpose of family education is the core of family education, is to determine the root cause of the family education difference

18、s between China and the United States. The purpose of family education is through the family education to train the educatees into what kind of person. Determine if purpose, education content, methods, according to the choice. So what is the purpose of American and Chinese family education, or what

19、is the difference between the two parents expect their children?The purpose of the American family education is to produce a adapt to the environment and independent ability to survive “social person“, the purpose of the expected value is not high. “Social person“ is not an ideal, but a plain, easy

20、to operate and broad requirements. So American parents treat their childrens education more easily, the active ingredient in their childrens personality maximum limit, let children realize self value, even if, is not for some utilitarian goals such as higher education, good career, but in fact, such

21、 education has many “accidentally remarkable effect, in casual in genius. In addition, in under the guide of this purpose, can cultivate childrens independent consciousness and live independently. Look at each stage of American children: they grew up independent sleep; When walking, playing, few 5pa

22、rents holding the play; Again big some, I have to have their own space, the decoration of the room, decorate and clean up the whole shall be the responsibility of the child; They grew up doing what paid services, such as cleaning, people see children, delivering papers, and so on, in high school or

23、university after gong frugal to learn, in exchange for living expenses.Family education in China, by contrast, the purpose is to produce “only“, have ambition in the future, have a good career, life can be spent in prosperity. First, the purpose of high expectations, and strong utilitarian, because

24、“the promise“, “good job“, “prosperity“ is not a general purpose, more difficult to achieve. For this purpose, Chinese parents particularly care about the childs academic performance, to the child the only requirement is to concentrate on, sit down quietly reading, learn skills, but ignore the child

25、s talent, limiting their creativity, the results in order to develop the so-called “talent“ instead of killing the genius, many “many“ effect. And because few consider the childs personality and social adaptation ability, citizen consciousness, even if the good academic performance, also not necessa

26、rily can be smoothly in the future based on society, sometimes, still can make the expectations of parents completely evaporated.1.3. The Education Style is Different.The parents in China are influenced by the traditional education. They do all they can to protect their kids from harm. They do the h

27、ousework rather than the kids. Being afraid of their kids getting harm,they limit the space in which the kids keep touch with others. They are so strict with their childrens study. But the American parents are cared their kids ability and wether they have the skills. Give a man a fish and you feed h

28、im for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. (Lao-Tzu)II. There are Many Differences in Schooling.2.1. The Education Planning is Different.The difference between the educations is higher education. Due to the lack of hardware, especially the colleges of science and engineerin

29、g, and lack of 6laboratory equipment, that restricts the quality of higher education greatly, especially in the stage of education. Since 1985 Nobel science are all shown up in American, or major science technology work is completed in the USA, that should be attributed to that the USA focused on th

30、e basis of science and technology investment in hardware, they supported the outstanding talent. In addition, USA college education thought. Who broke into the Wall Street of Harbin girl Chen Lei, with her American University 4 year experience, sums up: “middle and primary education level in USA is

31、far worse than that in China, but why USA can produce so many Nobel Prize winners? The answer is: university education in American is paying attention to personal ability, being good at mobilizing the potential of personal study and research, and provide s students with large independent space. Amer

32、ican students often learn to four or five in the morning, even all night.“ (Li Xianghong 4)American education stresses “wide, light, alive”, but Chinese education focus on “narrow，strict, stiff”. The former can make students brave and confidence but pride, and the last let students modest and pruden

33、t but inferior. American students have more questions than Chinese students.2.2. Education View and Knowledge View are Different.In schooling, the most different is education view and knowledge view .In USA, basic operations are not taken seriously, so students can have a widen use of calculators in

34、 school. Americans think calculator is fast and accurate, and why bother trying to use the brain to calculate it. The human brain can be saved to do that 7machines cannot do. However, in China, our brain and calculators should be independent. The brain need store more knowledge so that we can extrac

35、t it as soon as posibile. From the development of innovation capability perspective, China students prone to indulge in self controlling and self control, for fear of error and used to stick to the rules. Good foundation can be favorable conditions for innovation, but also will be bound and hinder t

36、he barrier of creative thinking. Rigorous characteristics can bring comprehensive consideration, can also become the enemy of the jumping thinking. America education is not to set up a fixed pattern to let the students from the real life to the inner world to carry out a full range of free imaginati

37、on, but encourage students to create. And Chinese education set up model, and allow students to pursue “like“. Therefore, fundamentally, value direction of Sino US Education advocates is not consistent. Chinese education is imitation. the education idea is: a piece of white paper that a child what b

38、asis do not have,how to imagine? how to created? And how to carry out creation?III. Chinese and American Education has Their Own Advantages.3.1: Chinese Education has Its Features.Chinese students with a solid foundation in math and science, and China students classroom learning time is very long. T

39、hey have a good discipline and learning spontaneously, but, Chinese student to pursue higher education is also very strong. Chinese education encourage students learning, progress, competition. It can absolute maximum play to individual potential with appropriate competition. There is a 8positive le

40、arning environment. China basic education teachers sense of responsibility for whetherthe class active or passive is very admired.3.2: American Education has Its Features.Education emphasizes the parent involvement. The learning needs of schools, parents and the community to support the child. This

41、point is Chinese parents lacked. It encourages innovation, and lets the children grew up feeling very good. They can be full of confidence. It pay more attention to the ability of practical problem solving.9ConclusionThis thesis introduce the differences of Chinese and American education from home e

42、ducation and schooling. According to some materials to express, at last, we get the idea: we need to combine the advantages of the education of the two countries, and we can improve our education to develop a better education business.10Bibliography1、Zeng Zhilan 曾芝兰 .来源： 太原师范学院学报 (社会科学版) 2006 年 1月2、Wu Zhenggong 吴正恭，中美教育优劣谈，载新民晚报2002 年 7 月 11日.3、Li Xianghong 李向红,中华读书报2001 年 9 月 5 日第 4 版闯入华尔街的中国女孩谈美国大学教育.
