Xudong Zhu: Classroom Culture in China, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book comprehensively examines classroom culture in the Chinese context and develops the model of collective-individualism-based learning. Classroom culture plays a fundamental role in constructing students learning competencies, perceptions, and behaviors. This book puts forward a collective-individualism-based learning model to explain the classroom culture in China, both past and present.

The collective-individualism-based model reflects the individualized learning style of students in Chinese classroom culture, and is characterized by nine symbolic objects; a textbook, an exercise book, a pen, a blackboard, a screen, a computer, a table, a chair, and a platform. In addition to summarizing this approach to learning, the book examines the construction of a classroom culture with Chinese characteristics and argues that the collective-individualism-based model accurately portrays the personal learning style of students in a specific classroom culture that includes particular symbolic objects.
