The educational blog I am choosing is the Mortarboard blog from
The Guardian. I am choosing this blog as one of the best blogs on my blog list.
I have chosen this because it doesn’t just have posts about educational systems
in the United Kingdom or the future of the educational system in the United Kingdom.
The blog also has posts from different parts of the world about their
educational system and how they improve on the educational system. One of the
posts I am talking about is the post on the way they learn in china. This is
the link to it. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/mortarboard/2013/jan/02/china-learns-lessons-by-heart.
In this post it
mentions how different the students learn in china. They learn by rote learning
everything which means basically know everything off by heart. This is
different from the way we learn in the United Kingdom because we enjoy the
learning part of it and actually try to understand everything that we have learned.
However the Chinese believe there is a link between remembering everything and
then understanding what they have remembered. This way of teaching must be
working for the Chinese due to the fact their country is one of the most
emerging countries economically. It also states in the post that china is
creating a generation of the top professions for example engineers, scientist
and business managers.
