„Confucian and Western cultures may share particular educational goals but use different pedagogical approaches to achieve them. For example, Confucian teachers tend to maintain class discipline so that all students can quickly start learning at the beginning of each class session without noise or disorder. In contrast, Western teachers encourage students to participate in discussions to expand on ideas and underlying hypotheses. Although they represent different pedagogical approaches, both the Confucian and Western educational systems try to increase learning efficiency and accelerate students’ knowledge acquisition.“
