Learning Considered within a Cultural Context: Confucian and Socratic Approaches.

Uses a Confucian-Socratic framework to analyze culture's influence on academic learning, comparing and contrasting ideals for learning that are culturally more Chinese (Confucian) with those that are more western (Socratic). Discusses expressions of these approaches in modern postsecondary contexts, noting the effects of these approaches on students who either fit or do not fit the cultural ideal. (Contains references.)
