I don't like sticking to one direction. I hope to look at education from a higher angle with a holistic view. The most ideal university is Beijing Normal University. I hope to be a student in Shi Zhongying. Although I am also interested in educational philosophy, I feel that my qualifications are not enough, and educational philosophy is still far from practice. I think I need a more solid theoretical foundation and practical experience to learn educational ideas from a higher level. Therefore, I hope to choose sociology of education, because it is a relatively comprehensive subject with strong theory and practice. However, I feel that educational sociology seems to be doing well in Nanjing Normal University, but I still hope to go to Beijing Normal University for my master's degree, but there seems to be no influential tutor (perhaps for reasons I don't understand). As for curriculum and teaching theory, I feel that I have no teaching experience, and studying this practical subject may not have that perspective. I am eager to be a middle school teacher, because I can train more people to make contributions to society. But I think the influence of teachers is still limited, so I hope to study the theory and make greater influence. However, I don't want to hoard in a narrow field of vision. I hope to integrate psychology, philosophy, sociology, ethics, culturology, anthropology and other fields to study the educational problems in China. I read those foreign educational masterpieces and always wonder why we don't have our own theories. However, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road lacks its own educational theory, which leads to the confusion of the whole educational theory circle, and the disconnection between the western educational thought and the actual educational situation in China. As my classmate said, if you want to go this way, others will go, but it hasn't succeeded yet. But I said, I may not be successful, but at least I can contribute my own strength to it. The last time I watched Steve Jobs' speech at Stanford University, he said to look for something he loves. If he hasn't found it yet, keep looking. I don't know if I found it. At least now I wish I could go this way. Maybe there will be changes in the future, but that is the future. I only hope that I can go on now and tell myself confidently every day: I have not lived in vain! Introduction and Analysis of Education Postgraduate Entrance Examination (discipline code: 040 1) Education Postgraduate Entrance Examination includes many two disciplines, and there are many research majors and directions under the discipline.

This subject is a new subject in China and has a good development prospect abroad. At present, there is still a shortage of talents in this major in China, and students with a professional foundation in psychology or biology can easily learn this new major. Third, the history of education (professional code 040 103) mainly combs the course of education development and studies education from a historical perspective, which is generally divided into the direction of China's education history, the direction of foreign education history and the direction of comparative education history. If candidates have a professional foundation in history, it is better to apply for this major. The history of education is a purely theoretical knowledge, but it does not mean that the history of education only deals with the past, and some scholars specialize in the history of modern education closely related to reality. 1, China education history direction: study China education history 2, foreign education history direction: study foreign education history 3, comparative education history 4, comparative pedagogy (professional code 040 104) studies the education of different countries, nationalities and regions in the world, and studies some commonalities of education on the basis of discussing their respective economic, political, philosophical and national traditional characteristics.

Higher education (professional code 040 106) is a comprehensive, theoretical and applied educational science with the operation form and basic laws of higher education as the research object. In higher education, disciplines are detailed, but you can understand what the research focus is by looking at the name. Among them, the third-level disciplines include higher education principles, higher education quality assurance and evaluation, university governance and development, university human resources management and training, university student affairs management, comparative higher education, university foreign affairs management, higher education policy analysis, university teacher development, and higher education sociology. Seven.
