This perceptive volume gives a detailed account of Chinese children
at home and at school. Recently, thirteen American experts in child
development visited China under the sponsorship of the Committee on
Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China
(supported by the National Academy of Sciences, the Social Science
Research Council, and the American Council of Learned Societies).
They observed and interviewed children, teachers, educational
administrators, and parents in twenty-eight schools throughout
China. William Kessen, chairman of the delegation, has organized
the notes and reports into one cohesive account. This comprehensive
volume establishes a foundation on which future research about
children in contemporary China can be built. The book traces the
development of children in the family, in nurseries, in
kindergartens, in primary schools, and in middle schools. The
authors report their observations on formal curriculum, social and
personality development, teaching practices, and on patterns of the
child's interactions with peers and adults. The mosaic that emerges
from this book is filled with the kind of detail that only people
who are trained in observing children can offer. The contributors
are successful in understanding and communicating what it must be
like to be a child growing up in the People's Republic of China.
