Linguistic Field(s): Philosophy of Language 

Subject Language(s): Chinese, Mandarin (cmn)

Meeting Description: 

As education reforms in K-12 and higher education are becoming intensified in
Western countries, especially in the US, there has been a growing interest in
Chinese education due to Chinese students’ outstanding academic performances,
particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
However, the research literature on Chinese education remains limited and
outdated, and few Chinese education scholars publish in English. Since Chinese
education theories and practices are rooted in Confucianism, a systematic
examination of its influence on Chinese education and its relevance to
education in the US and other Western countries is both important and timely.
The International Conference on Confucianism and Education is dedicated to
this purpose. The conference will advance our knowledge and understanding of
Confucian thoughts on education, inform efforts to improve education in the
US, and promote cross-culture understanding between China and the Western
world.
