English is the greatest advantage of pedagogy for English majors. English is the most difficult subject for postgraduate entrance examination. If you master this subject well, it will be much easier to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

If you don't want to lose English, you can choose English curriculum and pedagogy or comparative pedagogy. The best choice is the English curriculum and teaching theory of Foreign Languages Institute. It is still possible to find a job in this major.

I. Disciplinary Classification and Composition of Pedagogy

In the classification of postgraduate disciplines, "door" is the highest-level discipline, which is represented by a two-digit code. At present, there are 12 postgraduate disciplines, namely philosophy (0 1), economics (02), law (03), education (04), literature (05), history (06), science (07), engineering (08) and agriculture (08). —— The initial scores of postgraduate entrance examination are basically classified according to disciplines.

A discipline is composed of a first-class discipline, which is a major category of disciplines and is represented by a four-digit code. For example, pedagogy (04) has three first-level disciplines, namely pedagogy (040 1), psychology (0402) and physical education (0403). -These first-level subjects are what we call "types of application" in our daily life. For example, "I want to take an examination of pedagogy" refers to the first-level subjects that take an examination of pedagogy.

The first-level discipline consists of two disciplines, which are represented by six-digit codes. For example, there are two disciplines 10 under the first-level discipline pedagogy (040 1). They are pedagogy principle (040 10 1), curriculum and teaching theory (040 102), education history (040 103), comparative pedagogy (040 104) and preschool pedagogy (040104). Vocational and technical education (040 108), special education (040 109), educational technology (04010). -these two subjects are what we call "applying for a major" in our daily life. The major we choose when applying for the exam determines the future professional research field.

The two disciplines have a discipline research direction. Different schools offer different professional research directions under the same major according to different factors such as research strength, such as principles of pedagogy. Some universities offer basic education theories, sociology of education and law of education, while others offer philosophy of education and anthropology of education. -the research direction of these disciplines is what we call "professional direction" every day. The research direction chosen when applying for the exam determines the specific direction and content of professional research in the future.

Second, the content and test paper structure of the postgraduate entrance examination for pedagogy (that is, what we call "3 1 1 Basic Synthesis of Pedagogy")

For candidates, there are outlines for reference, real questions for analysis over the years, and the sense of direction and review accuracy of the exam are relatively high. Coupled with the guidance and guidance of teachers, it is relatively easy for pedagogy to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The key is to work hard and stick to it.
