Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i2.3935
Abstract
This paper focuses on the core competencies of preschool education majors, aiming to construct a theoretical framework and cultivation system. Based on literature review and practical analysis, the study divides the core competencies into professional knowledge (child development, educational psychology, curriculum design), professional skills (teaching, artistic creation, communication), and professional ethics (love, responsibility, integrity). It proposes a cultivation system integrating curriculum design (basic, professional, and elective courses accounting for 30%, 50%, and 20% of credits), teaching methods (case teaching, project-based learning, and practical internships), and assessment. The research concludes that this framework and system can effectively enhance students' comprehensive qualities, meet the needs of preschool education development, and cultivate outstanding professionals.
