"Preschool education majors are learning to take care of children"? CCTV takes you to break the prejudice!

In the golden autumn of September, colleges and universities began to open one after another, and it was reported that the new preschool education students were about to enroll. Every time I mention my major, I always get some awkward questions - "Is preschool education just about learning how to take care of children?" "Taking care of children is a personal skill. Why should I spend several years to learn it?"?

From this subconscious doubt, we can easily see that many people have a great misunderstanding about preschool education. Some parents even blindly listen to rumors, discourage candidates from applying for the exam, and are unwilling to apply for preschool education. But is preschool education really about how to take care of children?

Recently, the flagship platform of the comprehensive audio-visual new media of China Central Radio and Television Station, "CCTV", released the dance video "Jasmine Flower", which was compiled by the students of the 21st grade preschool education major of Guangzhou Modern Information Engineering Vocational and Technical College.

Although this is just a small segment of the daily learning life of students majoring in preschool education, it can also be seen from it that preschool education is not just the "how to take care of children" in the public. Today, let's learn about it and get rid of prejudice!

1、 Curriculum Design of Preschool Education

Let's take a look at the curriculum of preschool education. Taking Guangzhou Modern Information Engineering Vocational and Technical College as an example, the curriculum of preschool education is as follows:

The first category is systematic pre-school education theory courses. Learning these courses can help us better understand children's behavior and learning habits, so that we can better carry out teaching, such as pre-school pedagogy, pre-school psychology, pre-school children's behavior observation and guidance.

The second category is the curriculum related to children's teaching activities, such as kindergarten class management, kindergarten environment creation, and preschool education activity design.

The third category is skill courses set to better complete kindergarten teaching, such as children's programming, piano, dance, vocal music, art, handwork, Orff music, etc. Therefore, some students will jokingly claim that after graduating from pre-school education, everyone can be "proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting".

It can be seen from the above curriculum that preschool education majors mainly learn knowledge and skills related to early childhood education. The major of preschool education aims to cultivate preschool education talents with both ability and moral integrity, who are equipped with pre-school psychology, pedagogy, infant health care, art theory and practical application, and compound talents.

2、 How to improve professional skills and abilities?

Many students worry that if they want to learn so many skill courses, will they have great pressure to learn? In fact, there is no need to worry, because the school has a professional and patient teacher to lead students from beginner learning to independent.

Since pre-school education is a major with strong practicality, students majoring in pre-school education also need to improve their professional skills and abilities through two ways.

One is to carry out practical exercise while theoretical teaching in school. This requires the school to have certain practical training conditions. Guangzhou Modern Information Engineering Vocational and Technical College has advanced training conditions. Among them, preschool education majors have 27 training rooms, including infant care, children programming, piano, dance, vocal music, art, and handicrafts, which provide important training conditions for students to master teaching design and implementation ability.

The other is to go to kindergarten for probation and practice in a planned way every semester. The College of Education has signed more than 60 off campus internship bases, mainly involving kindergartens and preschool education consulting institutions, most of which are provincial, municipal and district level public kindergartens, providing sufficient internship conditions for students' internship and employment.

3、 Why did they choose preschool education major?

The enrollment of preschool education has been growing. In addition to being consistent with personal interests, there are two main reasons for students to apply for the exam:

First, there is a broad employment market for preschool education majors 。 Preschool education is the starting point of lifelong education and an integral part of China's basic education. In recent years, the development of preschool education industry has been highly supported by national policies, and a series of relevant policies and specifications have been issued to encourage the development of preschool education. The demand for preschool education talents by local governments, early education institutions and children's industries is increasing.

After graduation, students majoring in preschool education can go to infant care institutions, preschool education institutions, infant health institutions and other units to engage in early childhood education, early childhood management, early childhood health testing, evaluation, consultation, guidance and other work.

Second, good prospects for personal development 。 With the increasing emphasis of the state on preschool education, the social status and salary of preschool teachers are also increasing, and there is a greater demand for high-quality professionals with professional education knowledge and higher salaries.

Students majoring in preschool education shoulder the mission of cultivating successors in the motherland. If you like it, you are welcome to apply for the preschool education major.
