The principle of pedagogy and the history of education each account for about 100, which is the focus of the assessment. The types of questions still include multiple-choice questions (90 points), analytical questions (45 points), short-answer questions (75 points) and analytical discussion questions (90 points). Be sure to sort out the basic knowledge of each part and break it down one by one.
Focus of each subject and review strategy
Comprehensive pedagogy consists of four disciplines, each with its own emphasis. Candidates should carefully analyze and understand when preparing for the exam.
(A) the principles of pedagogy
The score of pedagogy principle in postgraduate education (course) is about 100, accounting for 1/3 of the total score, so it is the core of postgraduate education. The content of the principle is relatively complicated and boring, so candidates should first focus on understanding and then on memory when reviewing.
First of all, we should have a framework understanding of the principles of pedagogy. Generally speaking, it includes the basic concept of education, the relationship between education and human development, the relationship between education and social development, the purpose of education, education system, curriculum, teaching, moral education, teachers and students, etc. , should be decomposed in the review process. In recent years, the principle part is an analysis question, two short answers and an essay question, which focuses on the examination of teaching, curriculum, education and social relations. Therefore, the review of educational principles should be invested in a large area, and the objective questions should cover a wide range. The subjective questions should focus on education and human development, educational goals and training goals, educational system, curriculum, teaching and moral education.
Candidates are advised to remember the basic facts and concepts of pedagogy correctly and understand the basic theories and problems of pedagogy accurately; Second, pay attention to the development of current educational theory and the key and difficult problems in educational practice; Third, we can use the basic theory of pedagogy to analyze the practical problems of education and have the ability to analyze and solve the practical problems of education. The principle of pedagogy is the most important, accounting for 100. It is worthwhile to spend more time, there are many things to remember in this part. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can get high marks.
(2) History of Chinese and foreign education
The history of Chinese and foreign education accounts for about 100. Looking back on the history of education, we should firmly grasp several clues: the history of educational thought, the history of educational system and the history of educational practice. On the basis of these three lines, we can sort out the history vertically and compare China and foreign countries horizontally. Looking back on the history of educational thought, we should grasp the main thinkers and schools, understand their main works and viewpoints, as well as the spread, influence and historical significance of their thoughts, and even further understand the historical development and evolution of their common ideological theme.
The history of educational system refers to the process of institutionalizing human educational activities, including institutional history, policy history and legislative history. The institutional history of China is often associated with dynasties, while the history of foreign education is closely related to the country. The history of educational practice refers to the original ecological development process of human educational activities and phenomena, which mainly grasps the main characteristics of education and educational activities in each period. It should also be noted that on the basis of understanding the three, we should learn to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study and have a deeper grasp. In addition, in the part of China's educational history, the objective questions will still be taken in a large area, while the subjective questions will focus on the traditional educational thought, modern educational reform and the rise of private schools in modern educational thought and practice. The part of foreign education history focuses on the reform of modern educational thought and system, and the possibility of multiple-choice questions in ancient Chinese and foreign education will be greater.
(3) Educational psychology
About 40 points are required for educational psychology, and 30 points are multiple-choice questions. Educational psychology is difficult for interdisciplinary candidates. Because it involves many psychological terms, it is difficult to understand without a certain accumulation. Therefore, in the part of educational psychology, candidates should also pay enough attention to it, and it is best to apply the reviewed knowledge to actual educational practice, which is helpful for understanding and memory.
In the part of educational psychology, basically every chapter is the focus, but the analysis, short answer questions and essay questions still revolve around the knowledge points related to "learning", such as learning and its theory, learning motivation and learning strategies. In terms of difficulty, educational psychology is generally difficult, which reflects that the subject itself is relatively difficult to understand, so candidates should make greater efforts to master various knowledge points and respond flexibly to exams. The proposal is divided into four stages: first, according to the outline, we have an overall impression and grasp of all knowledge points. Second, let the knowledge points form a deeper impression in your mind and be more systematic; In the third stage, what we need to do is to focus on memory and review. The fourth stage, the sprint stage, needs to check for leaks and fill gaps. According to the outline, think about what questions can be extended from this knowledge point.
Educational research methods
About 30 points for the part of educational research methods, and 30 points for a selected topic. The topic selection and design of educational research, the writing of research report, the general situation of educational research, educational investigation and research, and educational experimental research are all hands-on knowledge. The study of educational research methods should reach three levels: understanding, application and evaluation. In recent years, most of the viewpoints in this paper will fall on experimental research. This shows the importance of experimental research.
For the review of educational research methods, it is suggested to adopt the "outline method". When reviewing each research method, we can start from the following aspects: What are the methods of educational research? What is the specific operation process of each method? What are the specifications and principles of each method? What is the scope of application of each method? What are the advantages and limitations of each method? At the same time, because the educational research method is a highly operational subject to a certain extent, it is best to use some research examples to learn and understand when reviewing.
Advice to candidates
(1) While learning knowledge, compare the test questions of relevant knowledge points with the simulated exercise questions, so as to deepen the understanding of theoretical knowledge and strengthen the flexible application ability.
(2) On the basis of reviewing the four parts, integrate these parts to understand pedagogy, educational phenomena and educational problems from the perspectives of educational development history (educational history at home and abroad), educational psychological basis (educational psychology) and educational scientific methodology basis (educational research methods), and try to form a multidisciplinary educational view.
(3) Pay more attention to the hot issues in education, try to analyze and judge by using the theories and viewpoints of various disciplines of pedagogy, and cultivate their ability to find, study and solve problems, which will not only help the students to play the exam and answer questions flexibly, but also contribute to their efforts in the learning stage after entering the school.
(4) Read more educational academic journals and works as well as related documents of humanities and social sciences, broaden your horizons, and better understand education and its theories and problems influenced by many social humanities subjects with the help of others' views.
To sum up, on the basis of understanding the examination characteristics of all subjects in the unified examination of pedagogy, we have gone through a comprehensive review of knowledge, systematic summary and systematization, and checked for missing items after practicing appropriate topics.
