Stanford scholar: Chinese College students ' learning without power, all graduate-Stanford, University graduate-IT information
China's education system has been triggered the most heated discussions. Its critics say it is a test-obsessed bureaucracy, training students to be good at rote, but not in other places. Supportive people think, so the children have a particularly solid skills, especially in math and science.
According to the United States the New York Times, August 8, Stanford University economist Luo Sigao organized a project on rural education in China, and he published a new study directed at Chinese school has challenged the popular belief. In a recent conversation, Luo Sigao discusses the advantages and disadvantages of China's education system, as well as his recommendations to the leaders of the country. Following is an interview with the New York Times reporter hehaiwei's summary:
Q : your study found that Chinese students enter college with some critical thinking skills is the strongest in the world, far exceeding the United States and Russia peers. But two years later, they lost the advantage. What's going on?
Answer : there's good news and bad news. The good news is: no matter what they did in high school, whether you recognize it or not, they are making a lot of kids learn math, physics, and some type of critical thinking skills. But what makes me mad is, they don't learn anything in college. Children not studying hard power, everyone can graduate .
Q : high schools than universities do well?
Answer : during high school, parents will be monitored. If the child has not been strictly supervise, they would be the first to call, face-to-face communication with the teacher. In the teacher's view, they allow students to attend classes and pass a huge motivation.
Q : If we appoint you as head of a University in China, you first will change anything?
Answer : in the United States, we will be rewarded because of the good teaching, promotion and salary is to get students home, did well in class, and awards, and publication of research results are equally important, but not so in China. Working with we professors said, "if they graduate anyway, why should we push them? ”
Q : China's many critics have focused on college entrance exams. For the national exam, Chinese students to attend for several years, "spoon-fed" education, because it is the main University standards. While some people think it stifles a child's creativity, did when it comes to the change of the college entrance examination?
Answer : we plan to in the next round of research study on creativity, observation of China and other East Asian students will be a very interesting thing. Many people would say is a fair system of college entrance examination, but that determining life mode require some reforms, we need a certain degree of vacuum, and a more comprehensive focus on training in the teaching of children.
Q : how was the junior high school?
Answer : this is not a teacher posts vacant half of India, nor a teacher cannot improve the quality of teaching in Africa. China has good facilities and excellent teachers, students course of study courses in rural areas and cities alike. So what reason?
Our work clearly shows that really is a problem of individual children in rural areas. Some of them sick, there is correction of myopia, poor nutrition, anemia, intestinal worms. We selected samples in Guizhou province, 40% of worms in the stomach. There are worms in the stomach was how elementary school?
Finally, the journalist hehaiwei said that China's increasingly affluent, increasingly high levels of urbanization.
Luo Sigao says, this is where the irony. Wealth is concerned, China is Asia's fastest-growing economies, but the child is a victim of its own success. China's growing really fast, and the investment in terms of resources and teachers, but they ignore the human element.

斯坦福学者：中国大学生学习无动力，人人都能毕业 - 斯坦福,中国大学,毕业 - IT资讯
中国的教育系统向来会引发最激烈的讨论。对其持批评态度的人表示，它是一种执迷于考试的官僚体制，培养出的学生擅长死记硬背，但在其他方面却无过人之处。持肯定态度的人则认为，它让孩子具备了格外扎实的技巧，尤其是在数学和科学方面。
据美国《纽约时报》网站8月8日报道，斯坦福大学经济学家罗思高在中国组织了一个农村教育项目，同时，他发表的一项新研究针对一些有关中国学校的流行观念提出了挑战。在最近的一次交谈中，罗思高讨论了中国教育制度的优缺点，以及他给该国领导人提的建议。以下为《纽约时报》记者赫海威对其的采访摘要：
问：你的研究发现，中国学生在进入大学时具备的部分批判性思维技巧是全世界最强的，远超美国和俄罗斯的同龄人。但两年后，他们失去了这个优势。究竟是怎么回事？
答：这里面有好消息也有坏消息。好消息是：无论他们在高中做了什么，不管你认可与否，他们都在让大量的孩子学习数学、物理和某种类型的批判性思维技巧。但让我抓狂的是，他们在大学里什么都不学。孩子们没有努力学习的动力，人人都能毕业。
问：高中为什么比大学做得好？
答：在高中阶段，家长会进行监督。如果觉得孩子未被严加督促，他们会率先打电话，与老师面对面交流。在老师看来，他们有让学生按时上课并通过考试的巨大动力。
问：假如任命您担任中国一所大学的负责人，您最先会改变什么？
答：在美国，我们会因为优秀的教学工作而获得奖励，升职和涨薪靠的是得到学生的好评、在课堂上表现出色和获奖，这和发表研究成果同等重要，而在中国却不是这样。与我们合作的教授们说，“如果他们不管怎样都会毕业，我们为什么还要督促他们？”
问：中国国内外很多批评的声音都聚焦在高考上。为了这场全国性的考试，中国学生要接受数年时间的“填鸭式”教育，因为它是进入大学的主要衡量标准。而一些人认为它扼杀了孩子的创造力，到了该改变高考的时候了吗？
答：我们计划在下一轮调研中研究创造力，观察中国和其他东亚学生的表现会是一件非常有趣的事情。很多人会说高考是一个公平的制度，但这个一考定终身的模式需要进行一些改革，我们需要在一定程度上减压，并把教学的重点放在培养出更全面的孩子上。
问：初中的情况怎么样？
答：这里不是教师岗位有一半空缺的印度，也不是老师无力提高教学质量的非洲。中国有良好的设施和优秀的老师，农村地区的课程和城市学生学习的课程一模一样。那么是什么原因呢？
我们的工作非常清晰地表明，确实是农村地区个别孩子的问题。他们有的患病，有的存在未矫正近视、营养不良、贫血、肠道寄生虫。在我们在贵州选取的样本中，40%的人胃里有蠕虫。胃里有蠕虫还怎么上小学？
最后，记者赫海威表示，中国越来越富裕，城镇化水平越来越高。
罗思高称，这正是具有讽刺意味的地方。就财富而言，中国是亚洲增长最快的经济体，但孩子却是中国自身成功的受害者。中国的增长真的很快，并且在资源和教师方面进行了投资，但他们忽视了人的因素。
