Program overview
Subject Teaching (Ideological and Political) is a direction under the Master of Education. Simply put, it teaches you how to become an excellent ideological and political course teacher. You might ask: what does an ideological and political course cover? In China, this course not only covers political theory but also involves morality, law, and social hot topics, aiming to help students form correct values. Core courses include Principles of Ideological and Political Education, Curriculum and Teaching Theory, Principles of Moral Education, Educational Psychology, etc. You will also learn how to design classroom activities, interact with students, and evaluate learning outcomes. This major is especially suitable for those who are passionate about education, enjoy interacting with young people, and are interested in social issues. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field—because ideological and political courses are compulsory in primary and secondary schools, universities have accumulated rich teaching experience and practical resources. Many schools will arrange for you to intern in middle schools and directly stand on the podium. If you plan to teach courses similar to "civic education" in international schools or Sino-foreign cooperative institutions in the future, this major will also provide you with a solid foundation.
