Two best education system how different the world?
The education system of Korea and Finland are highly valued. But two educational systems have features, very different purposes.
50 years ago, both Korea and Finland are very bad education system. Finnish risk of lagging behind Europe's economy. Korea ravaged by civil war. But in the past half century, both Korea and Finland have transformed the school system - and now both countries are internationally praised for the excellent results in education.
Other countries may learn from both successful education model, but this completely contradictory? Here is the analysis showed that Korea and Finland have done right how.
The model of Korea: "hardworking smart cover"
From thousands of years, in some Asian societies, the only way to climb the economic ladder society and find a safe job is to pass the exam. The exam requires a large amount of knowledge, and pass the exam is an extremely arduous task. Today, many countries still applying this approach, the academic performance achieved through examinations are appreciated.
Among these countries, Korea is the most successful. Korean people achieved considerable feat: 100% literate people, always at the forefront of international exams, including the exam requires deep thinking and analysis.
But this success also its price: the students suffered great pressure. Talent, intelligence is not appreciated - because only hard work, diligence is everything, and just hard work, diligence is going to pass the exam, will be successful. Children must learn throughout the year, both in school and study at home with a tutor. If you study hard, be smart and pass.
"The Koreans have said that we have to overcome difficult times this is really new with a bright future", Andreas Schleicher, head of education and skills PISA, said he is also special adviser of education policy at the OECD. "It is a matter of short-term sacrifice for long-term happiness."
Not only our parents pressuring their children. Because of this basic culture of compliance very seriously, hear and order, so pressure from the students, other students are also very high. This shows since they are learning in the class below. In Korea, like many other Asian countries, large class sizes. Parents in the US are not like this. But in Korea, their purpose is to lead classroom teacher as a community. In American schools, teachers should focus on what is developing personal relationships with students, and build peer relationships between teacher-student.
The model of Finland: to succeed learning a foreign language to
the contrary, in Finland, the school is the center of the community. Schools not only provide education knowledge, but also the knowledge society.
Culture Finland appreciate the intrinsic motivation of each person and the pursuit of personal interests. Children Finland has a relatively short learning day, but very rich extracurricular activities organized by the school itself.
Because, the Finns believe that learning outside the classroom is very important. Up to one third of secondary school subjects are elective by students, even they can choose the college entrance exam. It is a culture less stress, less pressure and appreciate many different learning experiences.
But the Finnish education system is equally rigorous, coherent and motivated by the pressure of Finland situated between the European powers.
"the key to this problem is education," Pasi Sahlberg, Finnish educators say. "This pressure causes more serious people with learning. Finland is a bilingual country, and all students are required to learn both Finnish and Swedish. Each successful Finns want to fluent in at least one foreign language, often English, but can also be German, French, Russian .... Even the smallest child to understand that no one speaking in Finnish anymore, and if they want to do something in life, we must learn other languages. "
Culture of Finland also have in common with South Korea: that is very respectful of teachers and academic achievement. In Finland, the proportion of fighting when teachers at the school entrance examination 1/10. After close to 80% of the pedagogical school in the 1970s, only the university curriculum best are left. Finnish teachers teach 600 hours / year, spent the remaining time to develop your career, meet colleagues, students and families. In the US, teachers have to grade 1,100 hours / year, there is little time to interact, meet students and professional development.
