This chapter pursues the dual tasks of examining the contents and the effectiveness of Chinese economic education. Our discussion will be based on a scrutiny of the textbooks used in the high schools and the results of a survey of economic knowledge and attitudes we administered in both China and the U.S. (Shen and Shen, 1993). More specifically we evaluate the success of economic education in three areas, corresponding to the principal goals of high school economic education: the enhancement of economic knowledge, the development of citizenship, and the cultivation of decision making skills. |
