Master:
Xue Shuo is talking about academic masters. In education, we call it Master of Education, which is mainly awarded to cultivate academic talents. Many students will continue their studies or study abroad.
When I was in graduate school, there was only a master's degree in the country, but there was no master's degree. Now many of my undergraduate and graduate students are working in universities. Generally speaking, an academic master's degree lasts for three years. During the study period, the tutor holds fast, and it is necessary to conduct academic research with the tutor and publish many articles, which requires higher requirements for graduation thesis.
Master:
Professional master refers to professional master, which is called master of education in education, and is awarded master of education degree, mainly to cultivate applied talents. After graduation, most of them are directly involved in the post of basic education, so the requirements for graduation thesis are relatively low and more attention is paid to practice.
Professional masters usually study for two years, but there is a trend of studying for three years in recent two years. You can see the length of study in the training plan of colleges and universities. Let's summarize it with a table. I believe you will have a clear concept of the two now, and you can also measure them according to the distinguishing dimension of this table.
Master and master's gold content:
First, the training objectives are different.
Professional masters are oriented to professional practice, attach importance to practice and application, and cultivate high-level talents who have received formal and high-level training in specialty and professional technology. Master's degree is set according to disciplines, oriented by academic research, emphasizing theory and research, and cultivating university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions.
Second, the cultivation methods are different.
The curriculum of professional master is oriented to practical application, aiming at professional needs, and focusing on cultivating students' awareness and ability to study practical problems. In the learning process, it is required to have at least half a year of practical links, and the proportion of practical credits is greater than academic qualifications. The master's course focuses on strengthening the study of basic theories and cultivating students' scientific research and innovation ability and quality.
