But how does she know that they were really engaged andlearned well? Just
observing a lecture does not tell you what is going on inthe minds of the
students. This is one of the problems with what peoplebelieve. You have
to pre and posttest to see what has actually happened andnot rely on what
you see. Chinese students are certainly more polite andout of respect
would try to appear attentive, but this does not show whatprocessing was
actually going on. They will appear attentive even when nosignificant
processing is going on. American students will let youknow if they are
bored._______________________________________________

A friend of mine visited a school in China and she was very
impressed
how the students were fully engaged during lectures.
She tried to use the same lesson for her students, but it did
not work.
