Combining Cultural
Learning Styles
European American learning beliefs emphasize inquiry, curiosity,
a challenging attitude, open mindedness, creativity, and efficiency.
From wushu to Chinese history
and literature, students are
immersed in China from many
perspectives.
Chinese learning beliefs emphasize a set of personal moral virtues
such as resolve, diligence, endurance of hardship, perseverance,
concentration, and humility. Although both cultures have some of each
other’s learning beliefs, each culture’s core beliefs anchor distinctly in
their own model. One approach is not better than another. What gives
graduates an advantage is the ability to integrate different cultural
learning approaches, and apply them in the right moments.
