1、American Education,15-财政2班 魏瑶 王莹 王馨怡,The United States is very strong in education and shoulders huge task of education. To discuss education in the United States is a very complicated problem, because it is a multicultural country. American education is also diverse reflecting on the education, the

2、re is no unified national education system in the United States and fifty states have 50 different education system. There is no doubt that mang people pay much attention to the system of American education. The major difference in education system between American and most other countries is that t

3、he education of the United States is for everyone in society, not only for a few people. American educational system can be best understood as a kind of social institutions that reflect the basic beliefs and fundamental principles of the nation, rather than simply a kind of skill-training places whe

4、re students are prepared to get a job.1 All in all, the system of American education has its own special features and attract a lot of countries attention.,The History of American education,As one of the basic contents of social life, education has a close relationship with one nations growth. There

5、 were many people graduated from Oxford College and Cambridge College between the first English settlers to America in the colonial era of 17th century. It is estimated that there is a college student out of every 40 to 50 families. This immigration of higher education background made them attach gr

6、eat importance to education. And the early immigrants from England needed a kind of culture to help them understand The Bible by themselves because of their devotion to religion. These two factors made the education of America start.,The Goals and Purposes of Education,Historically, the chief aim of

7、 education in early times was literacy in order that people might be able to read and write the Bible and laws. When the republic was founded, literacy was still a primary objective, but for the new purpose of fulfilling the obligations of citizenship in the new country. Under the new system, each i

8、ndividual citizen was obligated to vote according to his own opinions and conscience, and to take part in the discussion and decision making at local, state, and national levels. As the nation grew in population and in territory, as its economy expanded, and particularly as the industrial revolution

9、 changed the complexity of life and citizenship, education grew in importance and its goals and purposes became more diverse and comprehensive. If the objectives of education in America were to be reduced to a single sentence, it might be summarized as follows: to facilitate the development of each

10、individual to the maximum extent of his or her capability for his or her own benefit and that of society.,The Structure of School System,The American education of all types and at all levels join each other in structure and communicate with each other up and down. At any rate, from elementary school

11、 through college, Americans hold the belief that everyone deserves a fair and equal opportunity to get a good education, and that part of the responsibility of the government is to make sure that such an opportunity is not denied to any one of them.4 One of the striking features, differ American edu

12、cation system from other European countries education system, call a monorail system. It formed in the second half of the 19th century and can be specifically divided into the bottom-up structure: primary school, secondary school, and then university. Rail is the number of class in one grade. The cu

13、rrent school system of America education also reflects the feature of the combination of unity and diversity. Due to a thorough system of decentralization in education, America has no unified national educational system.The current system of America education is basically fallen into following parts

14、 : elementary education and secondary education for 12 years, 4 years of higher education, and graduate school, the total course of 20 years or so. There are many different kinds of preschool education institutions in America. No matter public or private, it can be roughly divided into nursery schoo

15、l (for children aged 3 5) and the kindergarten (recruit children aged 4 6); Elementary education is distributed into public education and private education, which pays attention to develop the potential of children; There are mainly four years, six years to construct and three kinds of three-thirds

16、system in secondary school in America. Its main part is the comprehensive school and its minor part are the general education and vocational and technical education. Besides, there are also separate secondary schools, vocational and technical schools, says middle school and other high school; The le

17、ssons of higher education colleges and universities in America are divided into four categories: a two-year college (community college) (tertiary), liberal arts college (four-year college), universities and.Professional schools.,The Education Management,American education management implements the h

18、igh degree of decentralization. In America, the education management is the responsibility of the state or local government, rather than the federal government. As early as in 1791, the 10th amendment of the constitution of America has been defined, the federal government does not have the permissio

19、n to manage education and education is charged by the states. The powers of the ministry of education in American federal government are very limited, whose main responsibility is to distribute education grants to the states according to the intentions of congress, as well as offer scholarships to A

20、merican domestic students. The states of America are equipped with the education minister who are in charge of drawing up the states education policy and lead the subordinate organizations to implement these policies. While according to the state law, all states mostly give the management right of p

21、ublic school to the local school districts, in addition to set up the state board of education and make the basic policy of educations development. Therefore, the management right of elementary education and secondary education actually belongs to the local school districts and the local public scho

22、ol management system in which the school district plays the leading role ha been established.6 American universities all have their own characteristics and they are different from the teaching guidelines, professional Settings, test project to small probl,The education methods of Western countries a

23、re close to nature and more closer to the society. In China, the purpose of education is to pass school exams and have a thorough understanding of knowledge while the western students pay more attention to ability of practice and exercise. The study of American students is mainly to explore and deve

24、lop students innovative thinking. The advantage of American education is to pay more attention to the students ability of independent thinking, their way of thinking to the problem and cultivate students ability of dialectical thinking. This can prepare well for entering the society which attaches i

25、mportance to the innovative thinking. Its education goal is adapted to the requirements of creating a society with talent intensive. There is no doubt that the education system of China and America is different. The differences are as follows: Firstly, the teaching goal of these two countries elemen

26、tary education is different. Chinas primary education will develop childrens intelligence and the children takes high marks as a primary goal, while in America, its only purpose is to cultivate childrens creativity; Secondly, the attitudes towards performance are different. For Chinese children, a b

27、ad report card will make him or her receive pressure from all sides. However, the year-end report cards of students in America are their own private goods. Parents also wont give too much pressure to their children and abilities in their heart are more important than scores; Lastly, there are differ

28、ences between the two countries in knowledge view. Chinas education pays attention to the accumulation of knowledge, cultivate the students respect for knowledge and authority,the inheritance of knowledge and the construction of knowledge system. Americas education attaches much importance to train

29、students practical use of knowledge, their critical spirit to the knowledge and authority and the expansion and creation of knowledge. These two different ways of education express their different attitude towards knowledge.,university in America,Harvard College was founded as early as 1636, only fi

30、fteen years after the Pilgrim Fathers had landed in the New World.William Mary university was built in 1639 and Yale university was established in 1701. Before 1776 when America declared independence from Great Britain, eight other colleges came into existence.All these indicate that Americans have

31、shown a great concern for education since early colonial times. Between 1825 and 1850, public education was established in America. All states were built basic education system which was open to all children States and without religious discrimination and the basis of economic conditions. Many publi

32、c universities and colleges also appeared and they enriched the education of America along with a large number of private colleges.,Harvard,Yale university,William Mary university,All in all, education is a cultural phenomenon, different education reflects different cultural connotations. The education method or education system which is suitable for the society of the America maybe not adapt to Chinas current social education system. what we need is the combination of localization and internationalization of modern education.,Thank you!,
