从《飞屋环游记》看中美教育差异

菜单

摘要由于受到历史、社会现实等方面的影响，中美教育存在着较大的差异。中国的教育受封建思想的影响比较严重，其教育模式较为封闭，而美国是一个移民国家，成立至今不过三百年，其教育几乎没有受到历史因素的影响，教育模式开放。本文首先阐述了中美教育各自的特色，然后运用比较分析法和文献分析法论述了中美教育在教育观念、教育内容和教育方式这些方面的差异，最后分析了产生差异的原因。通过比较，本文发现美国教育的最大特点就是它的民主性。学生可以在民主的环境中自由自主地学习。我们应该借鉴美国教育中的先进之处，来促进我国教育的发展。让教育更好的为社会经济发展做贡献,最终提升我国的综合国力、国际竞争力和国际地位。43044

Education is an eternal theme for human beings.

By comparing the persities in education, we can find out the shortcomings in our education, at the same time, draw lessons from its advanced teaching pattern. Then we can improve our nation’s education and let it serve for social and economic development. In the end, the comprehensive national strength, international competitiveness and status will be improved. This paper mainly focus on the educational differences between the two countries.

Thirdly, it analyzes the causes of educational differences between the two countries, including historical reasons and social reality reasons. The last part is the conclusion. The research methods adopted in the paper are the comparative analysis method and literature analysis method. By reading and analyzing a series of literature, we list out the differences and compare the three aspects of education. Through comparison, we comprehend the superiority of American education. And the distinct feature of it is democracy. We should learn from it and then improve the educational quality of our country. Let the education serve for society and economy in a better way, realizing the“Chinese Dream”.
