Program overview
Curriculum and Teaching Theory is a graduate program under the field of Education. Simply put, it explores the questions of "what to teach" and "how to teach." You will study core topics such as curriculum design, teaching theories, learning assessment, and textbook development, with courses like "Curriculum Theory," "Instructional Design and Methods," "Educational Evaluation," and "Learning Sciences." This program is ideal for those passionate about education and interested in making learning more effective—you don't necessarily have to become a teacher, but you should be curious about the educational process itself. Chinese universities have a strong practical orientation in this field, often integrating local education reform cases (e.g., the new curriculum reform, implementation of core competencies) into teaching, while also introducing cutting-edge international curriculum theories. If you aim to pursue a career in educational research, curriculum development, or teaching management, this program will provide you with a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills.
