講座內容：
China and the U.S. are both at cross roads for school reform. Chinese educators are trying to move towards a more humanistic model with more emphasis on students’ interests and potentials and less emphasis on centralized standards and tests, whereas American educators are pushing or are pushed for more standards and test-driven curriculum and instruction. In efforts to draw lessons of reform from each other, educators from both sides have sent delegations and visiting scholars to attend university workshops and observe classroom practices, with many more Chinese going to the U.S. than the Americans going to China. In the past few years, more than 100 Chinese educators attended workshops at CSUN and visited schools in Los Angeles, and more than 110 American teachers and administrators visited and taught in schools in Beijing and Shanghai. At the end of their visits, both Chinese and American educators were asked to complete survey questionnaires and to participate in group interviews to offer their impressions, reflective comments, and recommendations. This report therefore has the unique opportunity to present Chinese education through American eyes and American education through Chinese eyes. The presentation for this comparative education forum will focus on critical issues in curriculum and instruction in Chinese education, as observed by the American educators in comparative perspectives.
