Exploration of Teaching Reform Paths for the Course “Principles of Pedagogy”

With the deepening of educational reforms, the course “Principles of Pedagogy” must keep pace with the times by focusing on reforms in teaching materials, teachers’ educational concepts, and teaching evaluation, etc., to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of talent cultivation. This aims to enable students to comprehensively apply their professional knowledge to related work after graduation. To promote the smooth implementation of reforms, it is necessary to confront existing issues in the teaching of “Principles of Pedagogy,” such as the disconnection between textbook theory and practice, poor teaching effectiveness, outdated teaching concepts among teachers, low emphasis on teaching research, single teaching methods, and insufficient practical activities. Based on this, this paper explores problem-solving paths and discusses measures from several aspects, such as emphasizing the effective integration of theory and practice in textbook compilation and improving teachers’ teaching capabilities, to enhance the quality of talent cultivation and educational teaching.
