Educational Transfer of Sorts: The American Credit System with Chinese Characteristics.
Agelasto, Michael
Comparative Education, v32 n1 p69-93 Mar 1996
Examines transfer of the college credit allocation system, prevalent in American higher education, into a Chinese context. Case study of use of the credit system at Shenzhen University, southern China, indicates that cultural, environmental, and structural factors contribute to the transfer's ineffectiveness. Specialization and narrow curriculum are likely to continue, unaffected by the credit system. Contains 73 references. (SV)
