Integration of Knowledge Seeking,Self-perfection,and Pursuit of Career De-velopment:Chinese Students'Learning Characteristics from an International and Comparative Perspective
Moving beyond entrenched negative stereotypes and Western-centric educational theories,this study offers a nuanced understanding of Chinese students'learning approaches through an international comparative lens.This approach is essential for developing a contextualized theory of student learning and serves as a cornerstone for enhancing talent development and educational practices.A comprehensive analysis of international research on Chinese learners reveals distinct learning characteristics:an integrated cognitive strategy facilitating knowledge re-production,motivation deeply rooted in social connections and instrumental tools,purposeful and context-driven aca-demic engagement,and learning philosophies imbued with indigenous virtues.These findings suggest that Chinese students'educational experiences encompass not only cognitive processes but also embody a holistic'great learning'ethos that integrates knowledge seeking,self-perfection,and pursuit of career development.To foster a meaningful evolution in student learning,educational interventions must transcend the confines of mere internal reforms within schools and engage with broader socio-educational reform that would change the learning characteristics of self-per-fection and pursuit of career development.
