There is a big difference in employment in normal universities, and candidates choose rationally
The employment opportunities for graduates of teacher training colleges vary widely and can be simply divided into the following levels, which candidates should choose carefully.
There must be a deep-seated reason why trainee teachers have been favored for a long time. The pursuit of righteousness in our Chinese bones seems to have penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Teaching is one of the most sought-after professions not only domestically, but also internationally. In addition to the salary package, the teaching profession still enjoys a high reputation, at least in the minds of most people.
Even if they are poor, they represent culture, education, and prestige. Many people also see it as extra income**. During the college entrance examination, parents are especially willing to do their best to persuade their children to choose a normal college. Below, we will briefly discuss the different levels of these schools.
Teacher training courses can be divided into several categories. Popular majors naturally provide better employment opportunities, which is why many people choose this major. But at the same time, it is also facing problems such as fierce competition and serious homogenization. As a result, there is a big difference between the ease of employment and the learning experience of college students.
To put it simply, pedagogical universities can be divided into three categories. Beijing Normal University (BNU) and East China Normal University (ECNU) are two of the best normal colleges that are well known. Beijing Normal University (BNU), along with Peking University and Tsinghua University, has been a leader in teacher training.
In contrast, East China Normal is closer to the capital because it is located in the magic capital, has a more dynamic economy, more abundant resources, and a higher and higher threshold for the college entrance examination.
The second level is also very good, and they all belong"Project 211", including Northeast Normal University, Central China Normal University, and Southwest University. Nanjing Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University, and South China Normal University belong to this level.
Such universities include both those directly under the Ministry of Education and those under the Ministry of Education, but it is not easy to weaken their strength because of their affiliation. In fact, the same is true for other types of universities, and it cannot be considered that the subordinate colleges and universities are inferior to the subordinate universities.
The third echelon is composed of Hunan Normal University and Capital Normal University. They are slightly weaker than the three universities mentioned above, but they outperform their peers in the national rankings.
The fourth level is made up of a number of ordinary colleges and universities that are lower than the first level. For example, Zhejiang Normal University, Shandong Normal University, Henan Normal University, Liaoning Normal University, Tianjin Normal University, and Hangzhou Normal University are all named after cities.
The latter is well-known locally, but may not be as popular in other provinces. These schools include Hainan Normal University, Jilin Normal University, Hubei Normal University, Huaibei Normal University, etc.
There are a variety of career options for teachers, so candidates must make rational decisions when choosing a career.
As can be seen from the classification in the previous section, higher education institutions cover applicants of all levels, from general educational institutions to dual educational institutions and vocational educational institutions. Regardless of your score, as long as you work hard enough, you can always find the right higher education institution for your application. However, it is important to emphasize that going to college is not the same as being a teacher.
Although the dream is only one step, this step is enough to change a person's life. Former graduates at least have the opportunity to join the training institution, and even if they do not do it for a long time, at least they will not be unemployed.
However, with the change in the birth rate of the population and"Double drop"With the implementation of the policy, normal colleges are no longer a clear employment direction, and the employment prospects of normal college graduates are not optimistic. One thing is certain: there will be a polarization in the employment of graduates of teacher training colleges.
If you are lucky enough to be admitted to a prestigious school like Beijing Normal University, as long as your requirements are not too high or too low, you generally don't need to worry too much about admission. However, if there are a lot of majors and graduates of these majors, the situation is not necessarily so rosy.
In fact, it's somewhat similar to the clinical direction in the medical field. Another disadvantage of teacher programs is that students who do not pass the entrance exam at other universities can enter the field to find a job as long as they pass the teacher qualification exam.
In a recruitment advertisement for primary and secondary schools in a city in Henan Province, normal colleges have caused a lot of controversy, because in the comprehensive ranking, the performance of normal colleges is not as good as other 985 universities, and even inferior to Beijing Normal University. Although this phenomenon is very controversial, it is an objective fact. Therefore, parents should be more cautious when advising their children to choose teacher majors, and should carefully evaluate their children's abilities and learning interests.
There is a misconception in the education community that the teaching profession is dominated by subject knowledge, and that good student performance and a deep understanding of the teaching content are sufficient to be qualified for the role of a teacher.
In fact, it's quite the opposite. Many students with excellent academic performance are not suitable for the teaching profession due to personality, emotional intelligence, temperament and other reasons, and some are even on the verge of depression.
Teaching is a very complex job that requires solid subject knowledge and strong communication skills. Especially in the compulsory education stage, students' values have not yet been formed. Teachers who are too introverted may not be able to communicate effectively with their students. Some students and parents may take the opportunity to bully weaker students and treat teachers who are not good at words in a way that affects grades. Inexperienced teachers may be too lenient with students and fail to take precautions. Therefore, when selecting trainee teachers, we should not be limited to the reserve of professional knowledge, but should consider a variety of factors.
