In this book, the authors pursue quantitative, qualitative and
mixed methods approaches, conducting hundreds of large-scale
surveys and in-depth interviews in 679 schools, 67 counties and 13
provinces throughout China. They also conducted longitudinal case
studies in five municipalities and provinces to better reflect
education reform and development in different education levels or
sectors. The authors used national statistical data from the 1970s
to 2013, as well as a wealth of first-hand documents and data from
different levels of educational departments in schools, counties,
municipals and provinces and "grass-roots" input from 253 teachers,
principals, education administrators and students. The authors
applied SEM, HLM, GCM, and many other statistic techniques and
qualitative methods to analyse the data and materials in order to
explore correlations between development and reform, internal and
external factors in educational reforms, as well as strategies for
resolving core issues. Their findings indicate that institutional
reforms concerning financial investments, allocation of teaching
resources, allocation of facilities, curricula design systems, and
political, economic, social system reforms all contribute to the
development of different levels and types of education in different
modes and to different extents. Topics of particular interest
include five case studies conducted in five different
municipalities and provinces that showcase the nation's education
reform and development in a specific model and on the basis of
substantial data. Further, milestone events regarding educational
reform and development that have taken place in China since 2013
are examined. As a unique feature, the book also includes 353
diagrams and tables on the development and reform of education in
China, offering extensive and up-to-date information on a part of
the world that often remains difficult to access. The book provides
an expansive and in-depth examination of the nation's education
reform and development, from its historical roots to the present,
and combining official and "grass-roots" standpoints. It will help
readers to understand why and how Chinese education could lead
students to win in international comparisons like PISA while at the
same time often being the target of scathing criticism, as well as
how the nation is now working to provide a better education to
serve the world's largest population.
