Can only normal college students be teachers?

First of all, it does not mean that non-normal students cannot be teachers, but the major must be closely related to the subjects taught. This is the so-called normal education category.

1. Normal majors

Many normal universities have been converted into comprehensive universities. Therefore, it is customary to classify mathematics, physics, chemistry, Chinese, foreign languages, and politics in normal universities. , physical education and other subjects related to primary and secondary education are called normal education. Similarly, the basic scientific research disciplines of primary and secondary education, such as psychology major, Chinese language and literature major, education major, educational technology major, preschool education major, physics major, special education major, primary school education major, and history major etc. are also called normal majors.

2. Professional requirements for preparing teachers

Different schools have different requirements. Generally, there are three requirements for teacher recruitment: most schools have the second requirement.

1. No restrictions: As long as you have a teacher qualification certificate, you can apply. In this case, all non-normal students have the opportunity to compete.

2. Only majors corresponding to the majors required: Some non-normal students can apply, and the majors required must be corresponding to the subjects applied for.

3. Professional counterpart, and must be a normal college student: This type of requirement is the most stringent, requiring both a normal college student and a professional counterpart.

So if you want to be a people’s teacher, what majors can you choose? Next, let’s take a look at several schools’ requirements for teachers!

We can see this from the recruitment announcement. Not only normal college students can be teachers. As long as it is a major closely related to academic disciplines, education or language. It also belongs to the normal major. However, normal college students still have advantages over non-normal college students in the normal category. ?

3. The difference between normal students and students in normal majors

1. Different professional courses

In the university’s professional setting, some majors will be marked as normal majors . What we call normal students and free normal students are all normal majors.

In fact, compared with the curriculum for non-teaching students in the same major, most of the curriculum for normal schools is the same. However, teacher training majors will add compulsory courses for education, teaching and psychology majors.

2. Internships are different

Full-time colleges and universities will arrange internship courses for junior and senior students. Among them, normal school students will be arranged for educational internships, that is, entering schools and accumulating educational experience, while non-normal school students will be arranged for internships in other companies or organizations.

3. Different work directions

Normal college students are a type of college students. Under certain conditions, they can go to college for free (i.e., free normal college students). Their majors are in the education direction, which is Professional talents reserved by the state for the purpose of education. Compared with other college students, normal college students have clearer employment goals. After graduation, they can engage in teaching management work in schools or educational institutions at all levels and types, and are the reserves for future teachers.

Teacher recruitment fairs in many places clearly indicate in the recruitment requirements that a teacher's major is required, but there are still a large number of teacher recruitments that do not have mandatory requirements for the teacher's major. As long as they meet the major subject categories of normal education, obtain a teacher qualification certificate required by the academic stage, and pass the exam, non-normal students can also become teachers.

Expansion: How non-normal college students work hard

It is undeniable that non-normal college students do need to work more than normal college students on the road to becoming teachers. It’s okay for non-normal students who are not double first-class, but it is particularly difficult for normal students who are not double first-class. So how to work hard?

① ?Non-normal students who are in school can apply for educational internships to accumulate experience for themselves to obtain qualification certificates and engage in educational work in the future. Non-normal students who are not in school can obtain teacher qualification certificates and contact them. Educational jobs, such as substitute teachers, contract teachers, etc., familiarize yourself with the teaching environment and prepare for the exam.

If you are not a teacher major, you can ask the counselor whether you can apply for an education internship. If you are unable to participate, you can apply for an independent internship, then go to the target school to submit your resume and ask if you can work at the school.

②. Determine career goals. Make it clear which school level (elementary school, junior high school, high school) you want to be a teacher in the future (for those who study elementary education and preschool education, the school level has already been determined). The first task is to choose and obtain the teacher qualification certificate for the corresponding school period. It is recommended that if conditions permit, it is best to obtain a high school teacher qualification certificate.

③. Seriously study the three main professional courses of the teacher training major - "Education", "Psychology", and "Teaching Methods", and study in depth and extension. If necessary, you can obtain corresponding professional (such as psychological counselor and career planner) certificates. The acquisition of knowledge of "Pedagogy" is particularly important. Through the study of "Pedagogy", one can understand and come into contact with many ancient and modern Chinese and foreign educations.
