For decades, Chinese students are good at tests and the schools focus on cultivating students' ability of memorizing knowledge, information and facts. As for the economy develops, the country advocates for cultivating creative thinking and innovative workforce in recently years. And the school education are widely criticized by the society and parents.
For past 5 years, the organization I work for are dedicated to teacher training, help the teachers to understand and use personalized teaching to the students, so the students will have the ability to solve problem, critical thinking and have the global competency.
It seems that this is the trend of every country to help students reach their own potential, to teach them creative thinking, critical thinking, collaborative working, etc.
Young
children learn problem solving and critical thinking through play and
unstructured interaction with their peers and adults. Through children’s
literature and games, young people learn how to look at problems from
all angles, how to use interpersonal skills to form relationships, and
the critical thinking skills to help them determine right from wrong.
Research demonstrates that children benefit much more from play,
self-guided exploration, and peer-to-peer interaction than from lectures
and rote memorization exercises. - See more at:

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post this week. I also read this article from the Association for Childhood Education International and found it interesting and helpful in understanding STEM and why it is so important that there is a reference to it as well. I enjoy reading your experiences in China. It really helps bring an idea or issue into full circle because I am able to understand a little better how it is in another country.

Xia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the information from your country. It is always important for parents and teachers to have a wide understanding of what the children are learning. It is a great that the children are learning to problem solve and have the ability to think crictically.

Xia,
ReplyDeleteI also read the article but it was actually given to me by a friend who teaches at a local school. I found it quite ironic that we both had our eyes on the same thing. Its awesome the organization you work for is dedicated to teacher training because it is so important for us to continue to learn and develop.
I think it is wonderful that your organization provides teacher with training that will assist students with building their critical thinking skill.
