Re-Envisioning Chinese Education: The Meaning of Person-Making in a New Age - Education and Society in China

Crisis and reimagining define Chinese educational reform.

If you're intrigued by the intersection where Eastern educational traditions meet Western modernity, this book offers a thought-provoking critique. It doesn't just celebrate the success of China's educational system; it digs into its current crisis. The perspectives from scholars across the globe offer a rich dialogue on the cultural and philosophical re-envisioning needed for China's education to truly facilitate personal development in the modern world.

Description

Maintaining education as a pedagogical space for human formation, this book is distinctive in looking at the crisis rather than the success of Chinese education. The editors and contributors, mostly overseas and mainland Chinese scholars, argue that modern Chinese education has been built upon a superficial and instrumental embrace of Western modernity and a fragmented appropriation of Chinese cultural heritage. They call for a rethinking and re-envisioning of Chinese education, grounded in and enriched by various cultural traditions and cross-cultural dialogues. Drawing on Chinese history and culture, Western and Chinese philosophies, curriculum and pedagogical theories, the collected volume analyzes why education as person-making has failed to take root in contemporary China, how the purpose of education has changed during the process of China’s modernization, and what a rediscovery of the meaning of person-making implies for rethinking and re-envisioning Chinese education in the current age of globalization and social change. This book will be relevant for scholars, researchers, and policymakers seeking a more balanced, sophisticated, and philosophically better-grounded understanding of Chinese education.
