A Study on the Curriculum Construction of Preschool Education Majors in Vocational Undergraduate Colleges in the Context of High-quality Development

Curriculum is the main channel to achieve the goal of talent cultivation, and the reasonable setting of preschool education curriculum in vocational undergraduate colleges is the key to cultivate high-quality early childhood teachers and to achieve the goal of “excellent education for young children” in the society and people’s livelihood. The main basis for the curriculum construction of preschool education majors includes policies and standards on majors issued by the country, changes in job requirements at different times, characteristics of the discipline itself, and intrinsic needs of students’ development. In the context of high-quality development, the curriculum of preschool education in vocational undergraduate colleges is still not rich in types reflecting the development of students’ personalities. The phenomenon of emphasizing on education but not on conservation in the core curriculum exists, the practicality of the educational practice courses is not enough, and the all-round vertical and horizontal articulation system of the curriculum has not yet been established. In the context of high-quality development, the curriculum construction of preschool education majors in vocational undergraduate colleges should focus on the needs of students’ personality development, the combination of childcare and education, practice orientation, and the all-round articulation of the curriculum system.
