Beskrivning
This book examines how general education in Chinese universities cultivates cultural confidence among college students, addressing the evolving landscape of Chinese higher education.Situated within the context of China’s higher education reforms and global engagement, this book integrates theoretical analysis, policy review, and empirical research to explore effective integration models between general education and cultural confidence. Through document analysis, surveys, interviews, and case studies from a range of Chinese universities, it analyses national and provincial policies, institutional practices, and students' lived experiences. This book identifies successful strategies for embedding cultural confidence into curricula, teaching methods, and campus culture, while also confronting persistent challenges. By offering evidence-based recommendations and comparative insights, it contributes to international conversations on general education, cultural identity, and educational innovation.The research findings provide actionable guidance for educational policymakers, university leaders, and educators aiming to design curricula that not only equip students with knowledge and skills but also foster a deep sense of cultural identity and confidence. Additionally, this book will appeal to graduate students and scholars interested in higher education, general education, cultural studies, and comparative education.

“What is general education and where and how does it fit within higher education, particularly in East Asia? The evolution of general education in China’s universities emerges clearly in this absorbing new work that traces the dialectic of modernity and tradition, specialization and holistic development, and East and West.”Anthony R. Welch, Professor of Education, University of Sydney, Australia“An unusual book for leaders, educators, and researchers with interests in the interplay of culture, higher education, and general education, given that Drs. Yuanyuan Shi and Yeow-tong Chia portray a broad yet nuanced landscape of general education in Chinese higher education institutions, based on empirical data uniquely articulated with contemporary and historical lenses.”Jun Li, ARC Chair & Professor, the University of Western Ontario, Canada“This timely and insightful volume offers a rigorous and original analysis of how Chinese universities integrate cultural confidence into general education through empirical research and innovative models. It makes a significant contribution to theory-building and educational practice in a global context.”Futao Huang, Professor, Research Institute for Higher Education, Hiroshima University, Japan“This essential work provides a compelling analysis of the 'glocalization' of general education in China, focusing on the cultivation of cultural confidence. By illuminating both the rationale and mechanisms of China’s evolving ‘global-local hybrid’ model, it offers valuable theoretical insights and an indispensable resource for exploring the intersection of national heritage and globalized higher education.”Chen Xin, Associate Director, Institute of Comparative and International Education, Northeast Normal University, China
