Beschreibung
Chinese Test Methods offers a comprehensive exploration of China's long-standing examination systems and their profound effects on education, cognitive development, and social mobility. The book argues that while standardized testing, such as the Gaokao, has historically served as a tool for social advancement, it has also created immense pressure on students, potentially hindering creativity and well-being. Intriguingly, the imperial examination system (Keju) has shaped the cultural significance of testing in China for over a thousand years. The book explores the evolution of Chinese examination systems, their impact on pedagogical practices and student mental health, and the socio-economic consequences of exam outcomes. It presents empirical evidence derived from large-scale surveys, ethnographic studies, and statistical analyses to provide a nuanced understanding of how these systems affect student learning, psychological well-being, and social stratification. Divided into three parts, the book first introduces the historical context, then presents empirical evidence, and finally examines broader implications for educational reform. This data-driven analysis provides a rigorous assessment of the impact of Chinese test methods on student performance and societal outcomes. By connecting to fields like sociology, psychology, and economics, Chinese Test Methods offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in educational equity, international comparisons, and the complexities of standardized testing in a globalized world.
