Followed by professional courses. Generally, you need some basic knowledge to apply for pedagogy. Including educational principles, psychological basis and so on. Because in the process of communicating with professors, many professors will ask students some professional basic knowledge. Therefore, the mastery of basic knowledge should not be underestimated.
