Preschool education is the care and education for children aged 0 to 6. Most students go to kindergartens or preschool institutions after graduation, so the main target of education is children from zero to six years old. It can also be divided into two parts. The first part is the early care and education of infants aged from zero to three. The second part is the kindergarten care and education for children aged three to six. Because preschool children's physical and mental development is immature and their self-protection ability is weak, the most basic thing in preschool education is to ensure their safety and health. A series of work has been carried out, with protection as the key to basic education. Preschool education, as an enlightenment education, can never be ignored.
What courses will you study during the undergraduate period of preschool education? Let's talk about its professional courses, such as educational principles, educational philosophy, educational sociology, educational psychology, curriculum and teaching theory, teaching methods, preschool education, preschool education management and other basic theoretical courses. Children's curriculum education also has five areas, which are equivalent to the vocabulary and English in our middle school, namely, Chinese, society, health, science and art, and of course, we have to learn some skills classes, such as piano, dance, vocal music, painting, handicrafts and playing and singing. Maybe many students have never touched the piano since childhood, so they should practice more. Not all preschool education institutions will require skills courses. As far as I know, there are only two universities in China, Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University. Some students can be research-oriented talents in preschool education instead of taking skills classes.
As a preschool education, of course, interaction with children is indispensable. The course "Children's Game Theory" will learn how to make all kinds of interesting teaching AIDS and toys for children. It can be said that it is very interesting. The school will also create internships and practical opportunities for students, including kindergarten internships, kindergarten internships, and exchanges with kindergarten teachers. In addition, if you want to take the kindergarten teacher qualification certificate in the future, then your Putonghua must reach Grade 2 or above.
Finally, talk about the employment direction of preschool education major. If you want to be a kindergarten teacher in the future, the basic requirement is to obtain a kindergarten teacher qualification certificate, both public and private kindergartens can. If you pursue high salary, you can also teach in international kindergartens, bilingual kindergartens and aristocratic kindergartens. Of course, your personal ability is also relatively high. You can also work in some pre-school education and training institutions. The salary is high and the work pressure is high, but the requirements for academic qualifications are not particularly high. You can also do some publishing and media work, such as publishing children's books and making children's TV media programs. Of course, you can also be a public official through the civil service examination, that is, education management departments at all levels and administrative departments do management and scientific research.
Let's talk briefly about the postgraduate entrance examination. Pre-school examination is also necessary. If kindergarten teachers have a master's degree or above, in public kindergartens, in addition to higher wages, there will be some subsidies, and some first-tier cities will also solve the hukou problem. Of course, if you have a high degree, you can even go to second-and third-tier cities as a primary school teacher. Of course, interdisciplinary research is also a good choice. It is relatively easy for preschool education majors to learn scientific mathematics, but it is necessary to strengthen their practical ability and artistic expression.
With the liberalization of the national policy of "two children and three children", the vacancy of kindergarten teachers is still relatively large, so the demand for preschool education in the future is still great, the development is also very stable, and the treatment will be gradually improved and improved like the previous primary and secondary school teachers. And now there is a big misunderstanding in society that preschool education is a girl's major. Indeed, the girls who apply for the exam can be said to be the daughter country at most, but in reality, kindergartens and other units attach great importance to male teachers. As long as you love education and like to communicate with children, this major is worth applying for. By the way, preschool education has winter and summer vacations and paid vacations like primary and secondary school teachers.
