摘    要

近年来，中国在发展中所取得的成绩获得了全世界的肯定。我们国家在前进的道路上一直将人才培养置于首要地位，中国的教育也受到了各界的广泛关注。然而，计划生育的普及使得现代家庭中普遍只有一个孩子。孩子的教育问题自然而然成为了家庭的焦点。在中国应试教育的影响下，中国的儿童教育形成了自己的特点。相比于崇尚尊重个人主权的美国，其儿童教育特色和中国儿童教育都有些什么不同呢？通过对比，我们可以发现中国儿童教育存在怎样的不足呢？中国儿童教育应该可以从哪些方面进行改革呢？我们又可以向美国儿童教育中借鉴一些什么呢？
本文以儿童教育为理论依据，以内容分析和案例分析为研究方法，致力于研究中美儿童教育在教育方式和结果上的差异。文章首先从理论上分析中美儿童教育所具有的各自特点，并分别结合动画片《喜羊羊与灰太狼》和《猫和老鼠》进行阐述，其次对比分析中美儿童教育所存在的差异，然后通过对比反思中国儿童教育所存在的不足，最后为中国儿童教育改革提出建议，如注重孩子创造力的培养，加强与孩子的沟通交流，尊重孩子的想法，培养孩子独立思考和解决问题的能力等。
本文不仅是中国儿童教育现状文献的必要补充，也为中国儿童教育的进一步改革提供参考依据。
