The education transformation and pattern have been enriched by global modernization. It generally promotes and brings
opportunities to the strategies and practice of internalizing education. Meanwhile, it improves the school’s running
level of international education. These are the intrinsic needs for the development of education and the inevitable
requirements of the development of the times. There are advocates of Western educational concepts who hold blind
pursuits. Every education mode has imperfections; some aspects are usually sacrificed based on the background theory.
This essay has comprehensively reviewed the educational thoughts and pedagogy of student learning in China. It has
discussed the theoretical background of Chinese and Western educational thoughts and the features, development,
advantages, and disadvantages of Chinese high school education and international high school education in China. By
comparing these two types of high school education evaluation systems, teaching system, and curriculum system, it
can be seen that they reflect different educational thoughts, which have their strengths and weaknesses. Based on the
analysis, it is significant to discover that two education systems can learn from each other to create a more effective
learning environment. Ultimately, it is hoped that this study could give possible solutions and prospects for the future of
Chinese high school education.
