Abstract

The transformation of social civilization requires corresponding transformation of education. Contemporary China is undergoing a dual transformation of modernization and post modernization of educational models, each of which involves educational concepts, educational goals, disciplines and settings and a series of other factors, such as teaching methods, the relationship between teaching and learning, and the evaluation of teaching effectiveness, all of which constitute a systematic project. The modernization of education in China can be achieved by learning from the modernized educational models in developed Western countries and regions and by promoting international cooperation in education. As there is no established model for postmodern educational transformation to learn from, we need to take the initiative to face the problems emerging in the transformation and explore them actively in order to find solutions in the context of international cooperation. The modernization of education requires us to shift from the traditional focus on knowledge to the equal emphasis on knowledge and skills together, and to cultivate students' self-directed learning ability. Postmodern educational models are on the way to form up. However, if we make full use of new media and information technology to cultivate students’ aesthetic consciousness and ability that embody the entertainment trend of postmodern culture, as well as other characteristics in internet+, culture+ society, we will probably achieve a great progress in the transformation.
