Higher education examination paper
Pedagogy is a national unified examination, and all five subjects must be tested. Why did you say which two courses to take? A total of 300 points, pedagogy 100, Chinese and foreign educational history 100, educational psychology and educational research methods 100, in which psychology requires 40 points and educational research methods require 30 points.

Also, the public exam, I have never heard of Chinese ... only politics and English.

I have read a lot about the exam experience (because I am also a candidate), and I recommend the following.

Experience of 377 points for college students' postgraduate entrance examination

College students' experience+thinking process with a score of 377 in the comprehensive examination of pedagogy (the best gift for graduate students)

-only dedicated to those who have helped me, and people who have ideals like me.

Through my struggle

377 is an unexpected score, which makes me a little uneasy. Eight months of persistence (starting from May 1) and eight months of thinking have filled my life with the excitement of struggle and the sweetness of true love. 337 points is my girl's score. At the moment when she knew the score, she cried and cried very sadly, for my success, for our experience and for her "failure". Failure, where to start? 337, from the comprehensive score of pedagogy in 2007, it is not a low score. But why do I read the same book as her (we are both co-authors), discuss some knowledge points of the educational syllabus that we don't know very well almost every day, and occasionally recite some educational common sense and basic theories, and the days have passed like this. She passed CET-6 and I passed CET-4 five times, but I still didn't even pass 60, so she obviously spent much more time watching politics and pedagogy than I did. She is the first in her class every year! As a result, she only got 204 points in comprehensive education, a very ordinary score, which can be obtained without much study, while I got 248 points, a score that we all dare not think about. This is a question worth thinking about. Making it clear is basically a question of how to get high marks in pedagogy synthesis. Because I am too familiar with her, I am too familiar with her answer. 65438120 After taking the comprehensive examination of pedagogy, she and I happily walked half of Dali City and talked about the contents of our answers all morning. Almost every question (multiple choice question and subjective question), we told each other our answers and ideas (it was a bit ostentatious at that time). Now that I think about it, those conversations seem to be prepared for this experience. Having said that, I also want to say something useful to everyone, please read it patiently and carefully, because these are not just my feelings, but more my feelings, mine. She is strong, and I am a follower of the strong. Let me briefly introduce my situation first, so that everyone can have a comparison to judge their own situation.

First, find your own position (why do you want to use such a title? First, I don't want to write like a resume. Second, the purpose of writing these contents is to let everyone have a reference and an accurate starting point judgment)

I am a junior college undergraduate (full-time in Yunnan Province), and my English foundation is very poor. What I regret most is that I failed the CET-4 test five times (the highest score is 370). Entering xx Normal College, my goal is only to take the postgraduate entrance examination, to live a meaningful life for my parents, for myself and for my ideals. Therefore, I must catch up. There are many people who didn't do well in CET-4, but they didn't do well in CET-4, and there was not much qualitative improvement in English in a short time (hehe, I can be proud of this). Pedagogy is the top priority of the education major, after all, it occupies three-fifths of the "Jiangshan". It can be said that if you want to get into a good school and major in education, it is hopeless to fail in the comprehensive examination of pedagogy, so it is very important to choose methods and books. I have only studied the introduction of educational principles and educational psychology, but have not studied the educational history and educational research methods at home and abroad. As we all know, almost all of these courses I took in my undergraduate course were muddled along, and they were gone after the exam. My undergraduate school is not very good, and my major is the kind of unemployment after graduation. The environment is worse. Many people won't believe it. My senior year had 28 classes a week, plus class meetings (once a week, running 1 km or more) and activity classes. I have more than six classes almost every day (get up early in June, 438+00). Is it useful? )。 Many times, my girl and I walked into the classroom or library with tears on our backs. Looking at the eyes and contempt of other students and the arrogance of the teacher, we have only one thought in our hearts. I must be admitted, for sure. Time! Are you so useless? It's so easy to get past miscellaneous things? I once smiled and said to my tutor (not the class teacher) that my girl and I are the most difficult for the whole xx Normal College to take the postgraduate entrance examination. She smiled helplessly and said, then you can work miracles!

All right! Let's work miracles! Will you still have no confidence? Will you waste that precious time again? Will you still wander around the internet all day doing nothing? Please cherish the time you have now, because you must fight for it all your life.

Second, some problems in the comprehensive examination of pedagogy

(1) examination subjects: English (100), politics (100), and comprehensive pedagogy (300).

English: Traditional reading comprehension accounts for 40%, and composition size accounts for 30%. Don't listen, think about the rest!

Politics: After the exam, everyone thought it was not difficult (simple), but the score was not too high. Do you want to despise it? Think for yourself!

Pedagogy Synthesis: This course was unified in 2007, which is fairer than before. It provides a relatively fair platform and points out the direction for interdisciplinary people. The examination contents include: Principles of Education (65,438+000), Chinese and foreign educational history (65,438+000), educational psychology (40) and educational research methods (30), and 30 questions are optional, so educational psychology and educational research methods must be answered together. The books you read can generally be found online, so I won't go into details here. Grasp the problem of 300 points and the rest will be solved.

(B) Cross-professional and professional examination issues

Many people are concerned about this problem, especially those who wander at the door of education major. They always feel that their undergraduate major is far from the postgraduate major, and it is more difficult and inferior to review than this major. In fact, as long as you calm down and imagine, this question is a false question (just a false question). There are three reasons. First, there are basically no related majors in pedagogy (such as curriculum and teaching theory, educational principles, higher education and so on). ) undergraduate stage. Secondly, even people in this major (many normal universities offer courses on the principles of pedagogy and educational psychology or psychology) have no advantage in the comprehensive examination of pedagogy without an overall understanding of pedagogy. It is by no means a one-off event to have a certain understanding of pedagogy (according to my experience, it takes at least three hours to read pedagogy books every day, and it takes half a year to get started. Much like practicing Chinese calligraphy, you can understand the professional level of an education-related major by thinking about your undergraduate status (combined with the situation of our school). As for what you want to say, he has a certain professional background in the teaching process, so what I want to say is that even if this proposition holds, all he has is a person who knows Dewey's name but doesn't know Dewey (everyone knows Dewey in the final exam). In other words, it only takes you a minute to see that Dewey is a man who put forward the proposition that education is life, and he has reached the same level. Hehe, are you still worried? Third, the postgraduate entrance examination is not just a subject. Very easy to understand. Pedagogy, history and psychology are all unified exams, and only three courses are needed. Compared with other majors, it is easy to review (English? I got 57, are you still afraid? This method will be discussed in detail later. And the national unified examination is relatively fair. You can apply to any school you want. There is no problem at all. You can speak on your own.

(3) the retest line problem (there is no need to see what you know)

The retest line of pedagogy is not very high, because the unified examination is comprehensive and requires a high level of personal educational theoretical ability.

Postgraduate entrance examination requires that the single subject should be online and the total score should be online. At present, most colleges and universities in China have set a minimum score line, and only when they get the minimum score line can they be "possibly" informed of a second interview. The whole country is divided into three areas with different scores (usually called ABC area), such as Yunnan, which belongs to Area C, because the education level of each area is different. Beijing belongs to Area A, and its score is usually 5 points higher than that of Area B, and 65,438+00 points higher than that of Area C () Universities that draw their own lines are not restricted by national lines, such as Peking University.

In 2007, the total score of pedagogy was the national line, 305 B in area A and 295 in area 300 C.

Peking University (independent marking) has the highest retest line, with 340 points. 2008 is also 340.

Because the national line has not come out in 2008, it is estimated that the retest line should be similar to that in 2007, and the comprehensive education examination in 2008 is more difficult than that in 2007.

If you are sure to take the exam, the retest line is not considered now.

(d) Examining reference books and remedial classes for education majors.

Bibliography is generally not listed, but it can be found online. For example, Yuan Zhengguo's Contemporary Pedagogy and Basic Pedagogy co-edited by twelve normal universities (these two books are highly recommended). Let me talk about the books I used first. My girl and I bought a set from my senior in the postgraduate entrance examination in early June. There is no educational psychology, so we bought five books at half price for 90 yuan, two of which are Principles of Education (the above two books), one is History of Education in China (edited by Sun Peiqing) and the other is History of Foreign Education (edited by Wu Shiying) (both books are very thick, but most of them have not been read). Later, in mid-July, I bought Kaicheng's educational treasure and postscript by mail (the postscript was obtained later), bought a set and sent out two sets of questions (I didn't receive them until June 65438+ 10, which is why I decided to buy a set). The price is a bit expensive (it seems that 250 yuan includes mailing), but at that time it was the only set of books I saw on the Internet that met the outline (in fact, both Beijing Normal University and East China were there), but my place was remote and the news was blocked). After asking people who bought books in 2007 (someone left QQ or phone number, and directly called to ask the people who bought books, after all, it was not easy for me to spend more than 200 yuan, so I was very careful and skeptical about the quality of the books. I also asked a graduate student in Kaesong to send me an extra EMS (chatting well on QQ), so I sent two copies and I replied to one. I am embarrassed. At that time, I felt stupid and didn't go to see the courier. I kept telling them that I didn't receive it, and I asked him to send me an EMS himself. Very touched!

To be honest, when an outline analysis is put in front of you, you will naturally stop reading textbooks. The knowledge points in Kai Cheng's book are in place. Compared with the outline analysis of Beijing Normal University, I chose the knowledge points of Kaicheng in many places (easy to understand, make the question clear, the knowledge points they chose are very good, and of course I also chose Beijing Normal University). This is the biggest gain I got from buying this book. It's worth the money (alas, the price is still a little expensive and there are some typos), and the one from Beijing Normal University is also expensive (more than 50). That's it, I'll knock you first!

At the end of June, I bought five textbooks, the collection of Kaicheng education in mid-July, and the inscription of Kaicheng at the end of September. In the middle and late June, I had someone copy the outline analysis of Beijing Normal University 10, and occasionally saw the outline analysis of East China and higher education. But when you read a lot of books, your heart is very bad. Sometimes I always feel that the book in my hand is not good (that's why I copied it from Beijing Normal University). I still made up my mind to read one (Kaicheng's), taking Beijing Normal University as a reference, reading nothing else, and finally settling down to read mine (this is the key to success). Question? It's just an inscription on Kaesong (later I saw it was compiled by Ogawa, and it has many similarities with Kaesong's. Imagine the inscription published by Kai Cheng in 2007 and the title published by Ogawa in 2008, alas! I don't understand what's happening now. By the way, I also copied the simulation questions at the back of several books (the same questions on several sets of simulation questions are key questions, but there are no questions on the simulation questions in the 2008 exam, which is very bad luck! )

Again, take action with books, ideals and passion! Give up what you should give up and find your own.

Proposal configuration: (I read books on East China and Higher Education the other day. Many people are annoyed by the small print in East China, but what I understand at first glance makes it incomprehensible. This is what I don't like about this book. On the contrary, the books of Beijing Normal University are concise and to the point, and some of them are incomprehensible. Higher education is generally secondary! Kaicheng's point of view is that I have a lot of typos and the price is a bit expensive. It draws those key points with lines, which is very useful and can quickly reach the core. Maybe many of my high scores come from this, and some knowledge points are easier to understand, especially educational psychology. After reading educational psychology, everyone will understand why I said this. Another point is that the books of Beijing Normal University have great advantages. It makes that key chapter famous, maybe a little! What's the point of pressing the 08 test paper? Can you still catch it? Only a full-scale attack! )

My configuration: Kai Cheng Bao Dian+Beijing Normal University outline analysis+Kai Cheng inscription Dian+several simulation questions+exam outline+some teaching materials.

Recommended configuration:

1, Kai Cheng Bao Dian+Beijing Normal University syllabus analysis+some problems+educational principles (you don't need to buy educational history, or borrow them from the library, so it's easy to understand educational research methods and educational psychology, and the research methods should be comprehensive)

2. Outline analysis of East China Normal University+Beijing Normal University+complete set of teaching materials+part of the questions (compared with the first scheme, it is not easy to find the key points, which is a dead hole for people who are not familiar with this major, so you should make greater efforts in reviewing)

3, no matter what you choose, only persistence and thinking (very important, more important than any configuration) is the way out.

As for remedial classes, pedagogy counseling has not yet developed (relative to politics and English), but judging from the current situation, Kaicheng in Beijing started relatively early, and I have never attended it (mainly due to financial problems). Some people say that their teachers who teach educational principles are too rubbish, while others say that they are better. I wonder if there is any improvement this year (Beijing is rich in resources and should have a future). It seems that there are other remedial classes, and I have seen them. It seems that there is not as much information as Kai Cheng, so I can't remember them. Anyway, if you want to attend remedial classes, you should ask more questions, especially teachers (money is not the problem, teachers are the key). Suggestion: The economic conditions are OK. If you are determined to go to graduate school or a prestigious school, it is necessary to sign up for a class. It can take you away (there is no chance to be lazy), you can quickly understand some places that are not easy to understand, and maybe you can get some hints that you can't see when reading (sometimes this is where you win or lose). Personally, I think it's easier to grasp the educational research methods as a whole (I listened to a teacher's class in our department, hehe, and it's easy to add my own thinking).

Three, politics, English, pedagogy comprehensive review strategy (want to get high marks, in addition to persistence and thinking, there are many details and skills to know, this is very effective for the exam, I hope to understand it carefully, prepare for the exam carefully, otherwise I won't take the exam, I have to take the exam myself, really see what I look like, stay in the dormitory all day, and never see the blue sky Wan Li, a bolt from the blue).

(1) Review of politics and English (provided that you read books every day instead of fishing for three days and surfing the Internet for two days, so as to show your popularity).

Why put these two courses together? Because they are very similar. Generally speaking, the core of these two public courses is "true questions". Many people know that English should grasp the real topic, but few people know that politics should also grasp the real topic. Why? Because when I took the political multiple-choice exam in 2008, I felt very good (the knowledge points were the same), just like doing the real questions in previous years. Just because you read the real questions doesn't mean you don't read books. The premise of seeing the real problem is to thoroughly understand the points on the outline. If you understand the real question 10 times, it is not difficult to get 80 points in the political test (I only watched it three times), and English will naturally pass.

Finish reading English vocabulary by the end of June at the latest (I recommend Guo Chongxing's vocabulary book, and you will understand it after reading it, which is quite good). It doesn't matter if you can't remember the words. As long as you have read all the words (carefully, of course), you have seen all the words that have appeared in the real questions in the future. Are you still worried? At the beginning of July, I began to read the real questions (mainly 40 points reading). After reading it again and again, you should know every word, every sentence should be translatable, every article should be familiar, and every option should know why it is wrong and why it is right (it is very important to decide success or failure). I want to guess the questioner's thinking repeatedly and make clear the structure of the article. The book that recommends the real topic is Spark's book about the real topic, which is very good and well spoken, but some books are not, so we should pay attention to the difference. Really can't. I can borrow some books from the library. Attention should be paid here, don't just read a real question, it is best to read 3-4 books, so it is easy to understand. The next composition should focus on breakthrough, I mean the composition reason is not 60. It is suggested that the composition should be practiced once a day from 10, which is very easy to get points. The simulation questions can be done or not. If you do, don't care about the result. By the middle and late stage of 10, all the words in the real question have to be passed, and then analyze, analyze, analyze or analyze, and what awaits you is success! No matter how good your English is. What is needed is your perseverance, diligence and thinking.

Politics. Said very little. If you believe me, don't go to any remedial classes. Sometimes I think that the political tutorial class is a waste of review time (I took the video class that set sail, which was expensive and rubbish. But one teacher speaks very well, only one. ) When the political outline comes out, I will buy the exam-oriented book compiled by Zhang Jianfeng (good book, cheap, the best political counseling book I have ever seen, and all the key points are marked out), and I will also buy the real questions at the back, because he is the editor of the outline, so you can go and have a look. I am also very surprised. Politics begins with understanding Ma Zhe and the political manager (some people say it's difficult, but if you put your heart into it, it's easy. Anyway, it's not as difficult as high school math and physics. Compared with much simpler), the rest is fine. The most important thing is the historical order. If you figure it out, you can understand books at a glance, such as what the first civil war and the second and third times were about, what did you do in which era, and so on. You can do the real questions after reading the book. After understanding twice, you can do those simulation problems, and you will find that you can basically do them. What can't be done is rubbish, and the value of doing it is nothing. After doing some simulations, you can concentrate on doing and analyzing the real questions before mid-June 165438+ 10. 65438+in the middle of February, look at those pre-test materials, prepare big questions, don't recite them, and you will know after reading them. Because you know the principle. Of course, input and output are directly proportional, and if you want to get high marks, you have to pay. A strength, a persistence, a cup of strong tea, go to the library! Fly your ideals and reap the future. High political scores are not a fantasy. Remember a word, contempt will only leave failure and regret!

(B) pedagogy comprehensive review and answering skills

Composition of comprehensive examination paper on pedagogy: (300 points in total)

Single choice: 45 questions (2 points)

Analysis questions: 3 questions (one question 10)

Short answer: 6 (one question 15)

Essay question: 3 (30 points for one question)

The review of teaching methods has been mentioned in the above part. Here, or as a supplement, or as a condensation, I said, why is my girl almost the same as my girl, and the score gap is so big? This is a topic worth talking about, because with reference, we can have a more practical feeling and find some skills and methods to achieve good results. It can be said that my girl also admitted that the score gap between me and her, 20 points, was caused by the order of our answers. We made an appointment that day, and we went in and did two 30-minute short answers for teaching scientific research (we almost finished reciting the questions for teaching scientific research on the simulation questions, so according to the situation in 2007, it should be within those ranges, but in 2008, I did almost no questions, everything was strange and familiar, and it was nothing important), and then we looked at the answers. As a result, when she saw the questions that she didn't recite, she started with the analysis questions (three analysis questions, one score of 10), and she spent 30 minutes analyzing the questions. What a lot of questions! As you can imagine, the rest of the time is occupied. And I, the final analysis question, is basically three questions in 6 minutes.

Let's talk about how to review first. There are three basic premises. One is to have good books, the other is to have persistent determination and action in reading, and the third is to have the habit of reading and thinking. The collocation of books has been discussed before, so I won't talk about it now. Although the price is a bit high, I don't regret it from now on, because after all, many of my knowledge points are based on Kaicheng, and another one named Wang (he sent me EMS) also told me a lot about pedagogy (the admission of a university in Beijing in 2007). He is very nice. If he has a chance to go to Beijing, he must be invited. I sincerely wish them a better class this year than last year (although I didn't attend). After all, the help they gave me can't be measured by money (I dare not compliment the typo, I hope to improve it. In fact, if you have the three basic prerequisites I mentioned, you will have succeeded more than half, and the rest is the problem of reading books, taking exams and waiting for a second interview. Review, many people like to gamble on topics and take shortcuts (maybe sometimes they will succeed), but what about pedagogy in 2008? That is, almost all the important ones were not admitted, and those who were inadvertently admitted. For example, Confucius and Mencius did not appear, Rousseau, Herbart, Dewey (07 test), Spencer and many other important ones did not appear, and all the questions about educational research methods were recited, but one question was not tested, and the questionnaires were designed and used together. Look at the questions in 2007. They are all key issues and the basis of scientific research. I will answer them all according to the method of 07. Now, for example, there is such a topic: moral understanding model (mcpherson theory), which is a very common knowledge point, but it is such a part, and it got 15. Hehe, can I gamble on the topic? If you bet on the topic, you will only die. The real question of 08 is full of such questions. Therefore, when reviewing, you must be comprehensive, and you must be able to speak (not recite, but be familiar with) every point in the outline. I basically walked into the examination room with an outline and Kai Cheng's books. I did the questions, but not as carefully as my girl did. We often discuss with each other (in the classroom or in the pavilion) and read silently in the library (linking theory and philosophy in pedagogy, especially the system theory in philosophy).

The principle of education (thinking more is the core, which links pedagogy with the philosophy of educational philosophy, because China's educational philosophy is known by the philosophy of educational philosophy and recommended by Yang Zhaoshan (the library should have it). The rest is simple, just read it over and over again and recite some basic definitions.

History of Chinese and foreign education: Is there any other way besides reading (outline) repeatedly? It is suggested to look at history and sort out the order of history, which is helpful to understand the history of education.

Educational Psychology: It's a bit difficult to understand, and it can be solved by doing more questions. Doing the problem here is a shortcut. If you like pedagogy, then take a serious look at educational psychology. Some characters are easily confused, and some overlap with the principles of pedagogy. Therefore, excessive learning is a shortcut to solve all learning contradictions, and there is no other way to change your destiny.

Educational research method: only 30 points, some people think it is very simple, in fact, it is not easy to integrate, because most of us have no scientific research experience, so attending classes is a good way, and we can only ask more questions, read more and think more. It is worth noting that once you have a thorough understanding of teaching and scientific research, it is the easiest. Anyway, in the middle of June 5438+10, you must read all the knowledge points in the outline, and then sort out the characters, theories and educational historical facts with stationery (I have sorted out four books, mainly the key knowledge points pointed out by Beijing Normal University and some knowledge points that are considered to be key), with icons or pictures. You can remember them as easily as you think. Read the outline again and again and see that every point is familiar. You can go to the library to read some related books when you have the opportunity. Speaking of discussion, this is a useful way to broaden one's mind. Having said so much, what I say most is repetition. Do a good job in pedagogy synthesis. It can be said that it is necessary to take the postgraduate entrance examination, repeat reading and be familiar with the outline. If you don't have such perseverance, you don't deserve to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The outline of questions 07 and 08 has come out. You can compare the gap with your own review method. You can combine what I said, plan your own time, stick to it and think according to your actual situation.

By the end of February, the outline knowledge points should have passed five or six times, so you should have confidence. Then consider how to answer the following questions well. The number of problems is very large. You can start writing almost as soon as you enter, and you can't finish all the questions until you stop writing when you hand in the paper. So you should be mentally prepared and answer the questions. If you don't have enough time, give up those questions with a bottom in your heart, and don't be blind. Say the order of the answers first, and then look at the answers. Answer 45 choices in 25 minutes (the combination of speed and value), then answer short answers (you can judge the right or wrong of the analysis first, so as not to be too late later), and then choose to answer a discussion after writing the answers. If you feel it, finish the discussion first and then the short answer. It's almost time, with 10 left. When it comes to answering questions (very important), according to my discussion and analysis, there are three main reasons for getting high marks. First, talk a lot (of course not biased); Second, sophisticated words (words should have a sense of being an educator, such as what mcpherson thinks and why he doesn't think, etc.). Although he may not say so, you are a master when you use it. The third is to answer the questions comprehensively. For example, there is a short answer. We can't just say the reasons for the decline of progressive education. The reason is only a few short sentences in the book. So you have to answer what is progressive education, how it rose, how it rose, when it declined, and why it declined. This answer must be a high score. For example, there is a question about Taoist scientific research, which requires you to design the questions and answers in the questionnaire into three formats (arrangement, yes or no, etc. You can't just design the topic of this question (this is not a postgraduate entrance examination). You must make the teacher who corrects the roll paper think that you are an "expert" who is very proficient in scientific research. You can answer like this. First of all, you have to answer the advantages and disadvantages of the questionnaire (not too much, you must answer it). Secondly, when it comes to design. Since it is a question, there must be a background of the question, that is, what the questionnaire is about. Make it clear in one sentence what the questionnaire is for, and you will know that you have passed the scientific research at a glance. The design of each question should have a background, and it's best not to repeat it (maybe this is also the girl's score in my exam). Hehe, it made me design three questions, and I designed four, just to impress the teacher who corrected the paper. Will the later scores be at the end?

Speculation is not desirable, and sureness is the right way. If you really want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and you can have the patience to finish reading these experiences I wrote down, then I can say that you are close to success. There is an article circulating on the Internet, "The Truth of 100% Admission to Graduate School", which is actually about persistence. Laziness is nature, and only diligence can put the plan into action. Then, after all, you are a strong man, a strong man that no one can beat. Give up what should be given up, cherish what should be cherished, and turn others' cold and sarcastic eyes or words into an eternal force. In front of them, you will always be the king of the strong, the god of war. I'm preparing for the second interview now. Being admitted to graduate school is my greatest wish. Being admitted is just the starting point. I will always fight for myself, my family, those who love me and those I love, and those who support me. Parents' support in the most difficult time, the girl's sincere help (endure hardships together), real friends (Yang and Xu) and online friends' sincere help, and Kai Cheng's (a good book, but it's a pity that typos avoid its light), without any of them, my girl and I will fall on the road to the postgraduate entrance examination because we are too difficult. Life is too bitter, I want to struggle.

This is only dedicated to those who have helped me and have the same ideals as me. Wish you success! Only by success can our destiny be in our own hands. If you need any help, please contact me and I will help you enthusiastically. I have a lot of previous information, and I will give it to you one after another. My girl also wrote something to commemorate our journey and experience, and will always accompany this article, hoping to help everyone.
