Chinainstitute Annualreport Mission 07 CHINAINSTITUTE ANNUALREPORT MISSION China Institute in America was founded in 1926 by a group of distinguished American and Chinese educators, including John Dewey, Hu Shih, Paul Monroe, and Dr. Kuo Ping Wen. It is the oldest bicultural organization in America focused exclusively on China. China Institute is a non-profit cultural and educational institution that promotes the understanding and appreciation of Chinese civilization, and provides the historical context for understanding contemporary China. 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN & PRESIDENT We are very pleased to present the 2007 Annual Report, which marks another year of BOARD OF TRUSTEES extraordinary achievement for China Institute. As we enter the ninth decade of our work China Institute in America promoting a deeper understanding of China to the people of the United States, it is clear that the relationship between the two countries is more relevant and important than ever before. 2006–2007 Through the depth and reach of our many programs, exhibitions, courses and events, China Institute contributes significantly to advancing this critical relationship.

  • Influence of Paul Monroe on China's Educational
    “Cross-Fertilization” of Education: Influence of Paul Monroe on China’s Educational Development and Reforms in the 1920s Working Paper 2020 Center on Chinese Education Teachers College, Columbia University November 2020 Henan Cheng, Sarah Fischer, Baolier Huang Abstract: Paul Monroe is widely recognized for his important contributions to the ​ ​ development of the field of international and comparative education. Monroe’s far-reaching impact on education worldwide is best exemplified by his significant influence on modern Chinese education system, which he exerted through extensive fieldwork, lectures, and charity work spanning over three decades. However, Monroe’s legacy in China has often been overshadowed by another giant of his time, John Dewey. This paper aims to re-examine published literature and primary sources and shed light on Monroe’s groundbreaking efforts to improve education in China during the 1920s. Important connections are drawn between Monroe’s comprehensive educational surveys in 1921, the subsequent 1922 national reform, and his long-term commitment in promoting science education in China. Introduction The American-Chinese educational exchange has transcended decades throughout revolutions, political ebb and flow, and economic fluctuation. While the cultural and educational give and take is of much discussion and is often attributed to famous philosopher John Dewey, this paper sets out to illustrate the influence of a Dewey contemporary yet lesser known leader, Paul Monroe, and his innovative work in the exchange of ideology and philosophy with Chinese educational policy and development throughout the 1920’s. In a review of published literature and primary sources in both Chinese and English - from Monroe himself and various Chinese scholars who benefitted from his tutelage - connections are drawn between Paul Monroe’s 1921 trip to China, his comprehensive survey on Chinese education, and the subsequent 1922 Educational Reform.

  • 2018 Physicsbowl Results
    2018 PhysicsBowl Results Dear Physics Teachers, Thank you for having your students participate in this year’s AAPT PHYSICSBOWL contest. This year there were more than 7200 students participating from 320 schools from Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as 318 schools participating from China! With the addition of the large number of Chinese schools, the contest is almost in two parts with Regions 00 – 14 competing for prizes from AAPT while ASDAN China is coordinating the contest in China. As a result, for simplicity of trying to read the long lists, there are three files: the list of winners in Regions 00 – 14, the list of winners in Regions 15 – 19, and a list of the top students/teams from all regions in both divisions! Instructors from regions 00 – 14 can obtain the scores of their students from a link that will be provided to you in an email from the national office. Please realize that we were able to retrieve some scores that were disqualified for improperly recording the required information, but this was done after-the-fact. If the information was not encoded correctly, the student was immediately disqualified from winning prizes even though we may be able to link that student to your code now. Some students provided no codes, the wrong regions, no name, just a last name, etc. There are a lot of records and we cannot go back and fill in missing information.
