Features: The core issue studied in this book is the establishment, development, and practical effects of educational values in the process of modernization. Through an empirical examination of the educational values in Western countries and China since the inception of the modernization movement, it explores the internal mechanisms of mutual constraint and promotion between social, political, economic systems, the status of science and technology, cultural traditions (primarily the core of culture—social values), and educational values. On this basis, it proposes insights into the educational value system that China should establish in the process of modernization in the 21st century.
