Abstract

With the development of economic globalization since the 1980s, knowledge started to flow rapidly in the international market competition. In the field of education, all types of forms of educational knowledge also begin to transfer from one country or region to another, mainly reflected in the fact that each country’s educational policy is often an isomorphism at a faster pace and more consistent content than before. “International education policy transfer” refers to the dynamic process of a country’s education policies trans-boundary comparison, transplantation or transfer. It involves the complex process by which a country changes and ADAPTS such external educational policies or practices, and then implements and assimilates them. China’s recent education reforms reflect a global trend of borrowing education policies from English-speaking countries such as the United States. In essence, China’s reform proposition shifts from reproduction and dissemination of knowledge to student-centered knowledge construction. However, there are fundamental cultural differences between China and the West in the nature and dissemination of knowledge, which makes the transfer of China’s education policy challenging. Based on the study of China’s education policy reform under the current background of globalization, under the guidance of comparative education theory, a more suitable path for China’s education policy reform under the background of globalization is explored. Through literature review, a large number of articles on China’s educational policy formulation and cultural differences between China and the West are reviewed in this paper, and it is proposed that China should prudently draw lessons from educational policies and integrate domestic and foreign knowledge resources, teaching resources and learning resources. In the process of educational policy transfer, China should combine Chinese culture and philosophy, and combine the traditional educational model with the western educational system to achieve better results.
