Abstract

With the continuous development of globalization and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, countries are increasingly engaged in cultural exchanges and mutual learning in many fields for common development. In this process, education has always been a focus. Young people are the future and hope of the country, and the education of youth attaches great important to the development of the country, so China has been learning from foreign education systems in recent years to explore domestic education reform. Chinese and Western education models have their own advantages and disadvantages, and students in different education models show different characteristics. However, to trace the reasons for the differences between Chinese and western education systems, we should go back to different national cultures. Based on Hall's theory of high-low context culture, this paper examines the differences in educational models between China and the West, discusses the influence of context culture on differences, and sheds light on how cultural factors shape educational practices.
