The Drive to Learn: What the East Asian Experience Tells Us about Raising Students Who Excel

Cornelius N. Grove

4.9/5 (22919 ratings)

Description:This is the first of two books in which Cornelius Grove reveals the differences in societal values that explain why East Asian students always gain much higher scores on the international comparative tests than American students. While Grove’s second book explores schools in East Asia, “The Drive to Learn” explores HOMES there, i.e., the ways in which parents instill in young children a determination to excel in academic learning.At the beginning of this accessible, short book (138 text pages), Grove shares the conclusion he arrived at through reading multiple research reports: In relation to American children, East Asian children are “more receptive” to classroom learning.The first seven chapters offer a step-by-step explanation of why East Asian children are comparatively more receptive to learning in classrooms. The reasons are grounded in the characteristics of East Asian culture, which Grove explains in terms of psychology, sociology, and history. Among the many topics discussed are intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, passive vs. active parenting, and the assumptions made about newborns.Next, two chapters reveal the mindsets and practices of East Asian parents that support their children’s academic learning, after which a third chapter asks, “So What Should We Do?” A final chapter addresses the questions of who is responsible for a student’s learning and why East Asians are believed to lack creativity.East Asian children’s drive to learn in school is stronger that the comparable drive in American children. The difference is a deeply ingrained set of values that respects and craves the type of knowledge acquired through academic study. Through modeling, high expectations, and active academic support, East Asian parents pass along these values to their children.Don't miss Cornelius Grove's blog, "Pleasures & Perils of Writing Non-Fiction."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
