First, after graduating from education, I think you are not qualified as a teacher in middle and high schools.
You can look at the requirements of job fairs and teacher recruitment exams. According to my personal experience, although the conditions of different schools are different, most of them have a principle, that is, to admit students by subject. For example, recruiting graduates majoring in Chinese, mathematics, English, physics and so on. If it is a good school, it requires normal students of these majors. If it is a poor school, it is not required to be a normal student, but it can have a teacher qualification certificate. If it is a good school, it requires 2 1 1 or 985, or graduates of normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education. But all their requirements are discipline. Some schools require that the undergraduate course is a certain discipline, or that the master degree is a certain discipline, or that the undergraduate master degree must be a certain discipline. In other words, the requirement of the best high school is that the 985 undergraduate master's degree in Normal University of the Ministry of Education and the professional master's degree in Normal University are the same (this belongs to the divine level). But the requirement of recruiting teachers in any high school is pedagogy.
Therefore, if you are a major that has nothing to do with normal education, such as marketing, and want to be a teacher to study pedagogy, please be careful, because pedagogy is a unified examination.
2. Pedagogy is a highly academic discipline with a long history and broad prospects. Its content is not only a few books stipulated in the unified examination, but as soon as it enters the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea.
Many schoolmates told me that as long as they can get a master's degree, they can get a degree without employment now, so they chose an pedagogy that they can learn by reading a book. Yes, if you can recite the outline analysis completely, I can guarantee that you can pass the preliminary examination. If it is not a particularly good school, there is almost no problem. But your question is, are you really ready to be with pedagogy from now on? Pedagogy has never been a refuge for you to graduate.
Pedagogy and psychology have a natural connection, and the basis of psychology and physiology is necessary. If the foundation is not solid, it will be very painful to learn. Endorsement can only get you into the exam (if you can memorize it very hard), but you are faced with unintelligible courses, papers and professional books. If the foundation is not solid, many people still don't know what they are studying after three years of graduate study. At this time, you may think that it is better not to learn. Some teachers of pedagogy have solid literary skills and Chinese and western cultural traditions, some have psychological and physiological backgrounds, some emphasize sociological research methods, and some have in-depth research on philosophy. Taylor's management theory, Spencer's sociology, Freud's psychology, and even the application of modern SPSS software, data processing, chi-square test, these are basic knowledge, if you just want to mix a degree, then you may be very painful. The most painful thing is that after learning these things, it will hardly help you find a job, if you don't want to take the exam.
Is that clear? There is a reason for the "good test" of pedagogy, and its difficulty lies behind.
Since ancient times, the research of humanities has to pay a very high opportunity cost. The humanities is more like an ornament of human beings than a guy who eats. Then someone will ask, what can you do after studying pedagogy? Theoretically, you can be an educational researcher, do some practical research for the progress of education and promote the development of education. In other words, pedagogy is not to train front-line teachers, but to train decision makers, supervisors and leaders of educational activities. Theoretically speaking, its counterparts should be educational policy researchers, educational method researchers, student counselors, school leaders in charge of teaching management, educational consultants and so on. However, as we all know, no school will recruit principals and grade directors at job fairs.
Principals and grade directors are all produced from front-line teachers. So in a sense, pedagogy should be a major for further study (if only from the perspective of employment). If a person used to be an English teacher and is now a grade director, and wants to learn the management methods of education, it is no problem to study for a master's degree in education. If I were a teacher, I would like to be a teaching researcher in the Education Bureau and take an examination of civil servants in the education department. If this master's degree is education, and you want to go directly to the Education Bureau, it depends on whether the Education Bureau recruits people in the year you graduate, whether there is any relationship at home, and so on.
In fact, what is the employment situation of undergraduate and graduate students in education?
Take my classmates and friends around me as an example, there are probably several kinds:
1. Pre-school education majors enter kindergartens. Because there are fewer teachers in kindergartens, they are well paid, organized and respected. But it is difficult to change careers. You must have the courage to be a kindergarten teacher all your life.
2. Special education majors basically have jobs, and many of them are also compiled. Treatment depends on local conditions. But it is difficult to change careers. You must have the courage to do special education all your life.
3. If you want to enter middle school, as I said before, education is not qualified. What should I do? Lower the threshold. When people with the same education in the same school enter the public sector, they enter the private sector (some private sectors are not limited to majors). If the same situation is established in the city, he will enter county-level cities and prefecture-level cities. (Some prefecture-level cities only require teachers not to require majors, or to require education-related majors), which involves another problem. For example, an education teacher who teaches English can't teach English well with many English teachers. Most of your pedagogical knowledge is useful only after you have taken a class or become a grade leader.
4. Enter a training institution, such as a one-to-one English teacher in high school, which is not limited to majors and does not require teacher qualifications. But your colleagues are also various majors (such as water supply and drainage). If you learn English together and teach English together, you will always be outside the system. Compared with teachers in public schools, it will always be like smuggling ... I have no other meaning. I have worked in a training institution. I love my job very much, and I have witnessed many people win money and society by working hard on their own courses. But this is another topic. If the purpose of your postgraduate entrance examination is to enter the school circle, this position really belongs to outside the besieged city.
5. Enter various enterprises and institutions, and find a job with your own ability and social relations. In a word, pedagogy only brought him an undergraduate or master's degree.
What kind of person is suitable for taking the pedagogy exam?
1. I have a simple love for pedagogy and want to be admitted to the university to do research and be a teacher.
2. The undergraduate has a major or specialty (for example, my specialty is English), and the undergraduate is already a Chinese major. Go to the last class and teach Chinese, so that you can enter the normal circle and teach Chinese later.
I want to be a counselor in various schools. Vocational school guidance, university guidance and development into leadership, or want to go to the education bureau and other departments as civil servants. If such people are in party member or become party member during their school days, they must have a certain social relationship foundation (the Education Bureau does not recruit people every year, and a quota will be taken away by a sea of people).
For various reasons, I just graduated from graduate school. For example, his girlfriend is in this school, and the education in this school is very good. We will talk about employment later.
Some people may say that pedagogy is too gloomy and has no future at all. I want to clarify the name of pedagogy a little. Pedagogy itself, from 1632 to now, exists in a way of treating diseases and saving lives with theory. Only now many candidates mistakenly think that it is a tool and can be used as a springboard for compiling teachers. It's like philosophy itself. Before reading, it is necessary to let the reader know that this is not edible bread. Education is innocent. Furthermore, to be a teacher, you can be a teacher, a teacher and a king. Pedagogy attracts people with lofty ideals to join. I believe that many subjects have their own characteristics, but many students fill in a major casually according to their own understanding without knowing it, so that some people say that the fatigue they get now is the result of filling their brains when they volunteer, and pedagogy is not an isolated case. Qian Zhongshu said that science students look down on liberal arts students, foreign language students look down on Chinese students, Chinese students look down on philosophy students, philosophy students look down on sociology students, sociology students look down on pedagogy students, and pedagogy students look down on no one except their own teachers. How many disciplines have their own limitations and helplessness? Choosing a major mainly depends on what you want. If you want to work, practical subjects may be more suitable.
