There are significant differences between primary education and term education in many aspects. These differences include educational objectives, teaching contents, teaching methods, students' age and cognitive development, educational environment and evaluation methods.

Educational goal

The goal of primary education is mainly to provide students with comprehensive basic education, cultivate students' basic subject literacy and comprehensive ability, and lay a solid foundation for their future study and life. The goal of semester education pays more attention to students' physical and mental development and initial social adaptability, and emphasizes promoting students' all-round development through games, observation and experience.

course content

The teaching content of primary education mainly includes Chinese, mathematics, English, science, morality and other subjects, and pays attention to the systematization and logic of knowledge. The teaching content of semester education is more extensive, including life skills, social skills, language expression ability, practical ability and so on, focusing on the all-round development of students and the accumulation of life experience.

teaching method

Primary education usually adopts the way of classroom teaching, paying attention to the instillation of knowledge and the training of skills. The semester education pays more attention to game teaching and situational teaching, so that students can learn and grow in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Students' age and cognitive development

The target of primary education is usually students aged 6- 12. They have entered a systematic learning stage, and their cognitive ability and thinking ability have developed rapidly. The object of semester education is usually children aged 3-6, whose cognitive ability and thinking ability are still in the primary stage of development, and they need to explore and know the world through games and observation.

educational environment

appraisal procedure

The evaluation methods of primary education usually include exams, quizzes, homework and other forms, which pay attention to students' knowledge mastery and skill performance. The evaluation method of semester education pays more attention to observation, recording and performance, so as to fully understand students' physical and mental development and learning situation.
