2 development prospects
Postgraduate entrance examination direction
Some universities in China have explored the cultivation of doctoral students in the direction of science education. For example, Southwest University has set up its own two disciplines of science education since 2005. In the doctoral training program of Southeast University, there are two disciplines of "learning science" under the first-level discipline of biomedical engineering, one of which is "children's learning and science education". How many normal universities recruit doctoral students in physics education, chemistry education and biology education in the two disciplines of curriculum and teaching theory? .
