What is the difference between subject teaching (mathematics) and mathematics education in Northeast Normal University?
The difference between them lies in the different degrees: the degree is awarded after graduation from mathematics education-master of education; After graduation, I got a professional degree (or professional and applied degree)-Master of Education. The former focuses on academic theory while the latter focuses on practical application.

From the perspective of social identity, the former is more popular than the latter. Before this year, the latter was only open to primary and secondary school teachers with certain working years, but due to the employment pressure of college graduates, the latter now allows fresh graduates to apply.

In most historical periods, the standards of mathematics education were regional, which were formulated by different schools or teachers according to students' level and interests. In modern times, there is a tendency to establish regional or national standards, which are usually attached to a wider school syllabus. For example, in Britain, the standards of mathematics education are part of the national education syllabus.

In the United States, the National Committee of American Mathematics Teachers has formulated a series of documents, the most recent of which is Principles and Standards of School Mathematics, and reached an agreement on the overall goal of school mathematics. More specific teaching standards are generally formulated at the state level-for example, in California, the California Board of Education has formulated standards for mathematics education.

Subject teaching is a master's major with practical teaching ability and teaching theory as the training goal, mainly focusing on employment, which is different from master's degree in academic research. The effectiveness of the teaching process depends on teachers' choice of teaching materials and methods and their understanding of the mature process of students' physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual life, and exert favorable influence to promote the development of this process.

The essence of discipline teaching psychology is to cultivate people who can not only adapt to society, but also transform society. Each subject can provide learners with knowledge tools, cultivate intelligence and form personality and habits according to its characteristics.
