摘要近年来，我国儿童家庭教育与美国相比日益显露出众多亟待解决的问题。本文采用文献研究法，从教育目的、教育内容、教育方式、教育结果四个方面，对比分析了中美儿童家庭教育方面的文献。两国都很重视家庭教育，但中国更重视智力教育，注重知识的灌输，而拙于能力的培养；而美国更重视素质教育，注重培养孩子的兴趣爱好、创造力、想象力、独立能力，而这些正是中国所欠缺的,这与两国的文化传统、意识形态、生活方式有着密切的关系。我国应该借鉴美国儿童家庭教育的精华，并结合我国的国情，从实际出发构建具有中国特色的家庭教育模式。50216

Abstract  In recent years, China’s traditional family education has gradually exposed its serious problems expected to be settled, compared with American children family education. Literature research methodology is adopted, and literature about children family education between America and China are comparatively analyzed from the four aspects--the family education aims, contents, methods, and outcomes. China concerns the intelligence education, which is good at the imparting of knowledge, but poor at cultivating abilities. America attaches importance to the quality education, and emphasizes on developing the interests, creativity, imagination and independence of children, because of the different cultural tradition, ideology and mode of life between America and China. We can take the essence of American family education as reference, and build China’s family education model, accordance with the reality of China.

The Comparative Study on Sino-American Children  Family Education

Ⅰ. Introduction

      Family education is one of the important components of the whole education system including the school education, the family education, and the social education, which are influenced and related with each other. Family education is the foundation and has great influences both in inpiduals and in the whole nation. Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to family education and also gathered rich experiences in family education. However, with the further development of the open-up policy, our nation’s family education is being impacted by the western family education. Some drawbacks have been coming up, which hinder the healthy development of our nation’s family education. So the family education needs to be reformed.
