Abstract: The study attempted to conduct Quasi-experiment by compromising the control group and experimental group which already exist in Chinese students doing their postgraduate degree in the United Kingdom and Chinese universities, to compare and contrast their learning conceptions due to diverse learning environments and culture. Thus, we used the Conceptions of Learning Inventory (COLI) to assess both groups to identify and examine their means of knowledge acquisition. Likewise, the study’s finding enlightens that Chinese students in the UK and Chinese universities did not exhibit significant learning conception difference. However, our evidence indicated that Chinese students are still stacked with Confucius’s learning style and rote learning in both learning environments.
