Current Chinese Education Research Articles

Investigate the impact of different school education systems on adolescent mental health (depression and anxiety) in Beijing.

The purpose of the study was to explore the differences in students' mental health levels across different types of schooling systems. The current Chinese education system is basically divided into two categories. Chinese traditional education and international education system. Traditional education puts more emphasis on competition and scores, while international education emphasizes a holistic and diverse educational environment. In this study, depression anxiety will be the two criteria that I used to measure students' mental health problems. I have used A convergent parallel mixed-methods and semi-structured interview to conduct both both quantitative and qualitative research. The effect of different education system are described by three dimension, Teacher-student relationship, Peer-relation, Academic pressure. Studies have shown that public school students show higher mean scores on depression and anxiety scales compared to international school students, and qualitative research suggests that this may be due to differences in the educational environments provided by the two schools and in students' perceptions of stress.

Teacher-child interactions and children's cognitive and social skills in Chinese preschool classrooms

Quality early childhood education (ECE) is central to children's development and, thus, has become a focus of the current Chinese education agenda. Using a sample of 589 Chinese children in 59 preschool classrooms, this study examined how a key aspect of ECE quality, teacher-child interactions, was related to children's skills. Findings indicated that teacher-child interactions were related to children's cognitive skills, but not to social skills. These results contribute to the growing international research literature on the critical role teacher-child interactions play with children's learning and development. Implications for policy and professional development are discussed.

Emerging perceptions of teacher quality and teacher development in China

This paper focuses on the work of senior high school teachers in three illustrative local authority regions of mainland China. It discusses interview and focus group data collected as part of ESRC/DfID-funded research which examined notions of quality as experienced by key stakeholders (national and local authority policy makers, teachers, head teachers and students). Building on previous international literature and current Chinese education policy, this paper examines aspects of teachers’ work as experienced within the context of a fast developing emerging economy, which emphasises a clear link between individual and national development. Barriers identified as impacting on the provision of good quality teaching arose, largely, from the pressures due to changing societal patterns and the demands of far reaching curriculum reform, which highlighted tensions between a traditional reliance on the primacy of exam results and a newer demand for all round development and lifelong learning. In addition, there were common concerns with various structural and funding inequalities, both across different regions and between urban and rural schools, which could lead to differential student experience, shortages of specialised teachers, and a lack of opportunity for good quality professional development.

Music education in China: In search of social harmony and Chinese nationalism

This article critically examines how interactions between social changes, social harmony, and historical memory shape school music education in China. As a historical review and documentary analysis, it traces the historical development of music education and examines the Chinese government's role in such interactions over time. The article argues that the Chinese government uses music and music education as an influential nation-building system to enrich the politics of memory. In particular, it adapts the nation's past for political ends, and passes on state-prescribed values to its citizens with a view to legitimising its power. The dynamics and dilemmas that challenge school education result from two divergent aims: (1) to combine the functional education of Confucianism and nationalism so as to encourage social harmony and maintain national myths; and (2) to encourage popular and other world music with traditional Chinese music by using multicultural teaching strategies in music lessons. The question remains how to balance ideas of social harmony, musical cultures and nationalism in school music education in the contexts of current Chinese education policies, teacher education and the globally oriented economics of China today.

Will the Leadership of Chinese Education Follow the Footsteps of American Education? A Brief Historical and Socio-Political Analysis

Introduction For thousands of years China has kept itself a closed, isolated, and mysterious country with respect to its culture, education, and economy. world knew nothing more than a vague impression of its traditional imperial system and notorious communist dictatorial structure. After Deng Xiaoping's 1978 reformation, China started to open its doors to Western influence and American ideas. economic and cultural export from Western countries together with a willingness of citizens to reform Chinese government has resulted in current economic expansion and prosperity of China. China has become, without dispute, one of economic super-powers based upon its population, geographic size, and gross domestic product (GDP). 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing attests to China's ever increasing openness, economic expansion, and national pride. Increasingly, China makes its presence known on stage of international affairs for its own benefit. It is clear at this point that Chinese economic system has changed to a mixed social-market economy instead of purely a command economy; yet at same time Chinese government is still a communist dictatorial government. In this mixed or hybrid economic-political system, where does Chinese education stand? How do we predict direction of Chinese education system? Will national education fix itself within a Chinese traditional education agenda; move toward a Western or principally US culturally-influenced system; or remain under communist government's umbrella of control and surveillance? This article analyzes both past and contemporary Chinese education, walks us through Chinese education pathway, and tries to determine and anticipate direction of current Chinese education system. Our logic and argument are derived from historical aspects of Chinese education, contemporary political atmosphere, educational philosophy, and curricular and leadership studies in education. Leadership, as we define it here, is everything that consciously seeks to accomplish educational projects and their varied ends, either aesthetically, economically or ideologically (Hodgkinson, 1991, p. 17). questions we seek to answer are: Will leadership of Chinese education follow in footsteps of Western countries, and particularly America (U.S.), in purpose, organization, policy and practice? What can or be done to assist in this matter? Chinese Education of Distant and Recent Past Confucius' Impact on Chinese Education In Chinese traditional values, Wan ban jie Xia pin, Wei you du shu gao means that educated people are above every other human being in social standing. In Song Dynasty of China, Emperor Zheng Zong wrote a famous poem called The Exhortation of Study in order to encourage Chinese people to achieve self-actualization through studying hard. poem mentions, There are golden houses in books; there are pretty girls in books; there are myriads of grain in books; and there are crowds of horses and carriages in books. Therefore, in ancient China, even poor could appreciate value of education. For thousands of years, education was almost only way in which people could climb to elite classes. What is Traditional Chinese Education and Why Is It Influential? China has a long history of being an emperor-run country. Before first unification of entire country in BC 221, China was in an era of warring states that fought for power over each other--it was a time of great chaos. Among different philosophers who flourished during this era, Confucius (551-479 BC) was most influential. One of his codes was Jun Jun, Chen Chen, fu fu, zi zi. Actually, this was his societal organization code meaning: the ruler rules as he should; minister manages as he should; father acts as he should; and son behaves as he should (Waley, 1996, p. …
