Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v6i8.2495
Abstract
This article intends to compare China’s philosophy and practice in higher education with Standford’s Purpose-driven Learning as a response to the educational call of the new era in terms of sustainable development by means of literature study. Such comparison and introduction may broaden our views about diverse exploration of higher education in the world and hopefully shed some light on future practice. First the background of the times is studied to find out why educators try to transform the way of cultivating talents in the universities.Then the author takes a closer look into Standford 2025 and China’s Confucianism in education, relevant policy and Tsinghua University’s practice for life-long learning. This study finds that Purpose-driven Learning and Confucianism teaching reform are both of great significance and have something in common for students’ better self-accomplishment and social development, and that the communication and learning between the west and east is essential for better educational practice in the future.
