Montessori Versus Confucius - Jumping Over the Door the Fish Becomes a Dragon: Exploring the Feasibility of the Introduction of Montessori Methods into Chinese School Education
Available from: Monash University

Abstract/Notes: This treatise systematically explores the students' views of school education in Mainland China. It focuses on the feasibility of the introduction of Montessori educational ideas into Chinese school education. The study compares the opinions of the participants on the formal education system adopted in public schools in China and their views on what the Montessori method might constitute, as a prerequisite to discussing the possibility of adopting Montessori methods in these schools. Then it looks at the educational policy that favors such an introduction. The main method used in this study is a survey conducted in a local high school in the northeast of China. The participants were questioned about their satisfaction level with advanced Western educational methods and principles. The author also attempted to gain an insight into the possibility of the adoption of Montessori methods in other public schools in China. To do so, questionnaire covering such areas as learning effectiveness, teaching methods, and the curriculum have been carefully designed and distributed in several public schools. The study showed that while learning is relatively effective, the teaching methods in Mainland China are monotonous, and the curriculum is controlled by examinations. Nevertheless, the monotonous teaching methods show a trend towards being diversified. The statistics also show that those students who were subject to Montessori methods in the early childhood period were less satisfied with the relationship between students and teachers than those who were subject to the traditional teaching methods. However the former subjects are more satisfied with their classmates than are the latter. As far as the curriculum and independence in classrooms are concerned, neither group was satisfied
