Differences in Education Between China and Britain Reflected in Are Our Children Tough Enough_英语论文

摘要

最近，一部英国广播公司拍摄的纪录片《我们的孩子足够坚强吗》成功引起公众的广泛关注，这部纪录片是关于五位中国老师在英国南部汉普郡的一所中学实施4周中国式教学试验的故事。基于该纪录片中的一些典型情景，本研究旨在探究中英两国在教育体制，教育理念和教育方式等方面的差异，并深究存在如此巨大差异的深层原因。对于中英两种教育模式哪个更胜一筹的问题，我们应该采取理智的态度。因此，为了提高两国将来的教育水平，中式教育跟英式教育应该取长补短，共同进步。
