A Comparative Analysis in Individual Education: How Do Cultures’ Differ in the Implementation of an Individualized Education, and How Do These Differences Influence the Classroom?

Due to the increase in class sizes, many Canadian teachers and parents have been concerned about the loss of individualized lessons to the average Canadian student. Chinese schools however, have been dealing with large volumes of students for a longer period of time. In investigating the methodologies of the average Chinese teacher within their classroom, I intend to observe the ways in which a larger class can be dealt with – whether individualized lessons are still achievable, or whether there is another option that Chinese teachers have discovered in teaching larger classrooms of children. I also hope to explore if individualization has taken a back seat to large classrooms. Overall I hope to gain experience and knowledge about teaching with increasing class sizes, and yet still educating individual learners, and bring this knowledge back to Canada, to apply to my professional career as a Junior Intermediate Teacher.
