問題詳情:
When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American Students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor during the discussion. The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. He used many modal verbs—far more than I used in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” Or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”
In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answers, they were sure about it.
Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of developing critical thinking.
