Elementary Education at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate teacher-training program dedicated to preparing future primary school educators with the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions needed for effective teaching in early grades. The curriculum combines foundations of education theory, such as educational psychology and learning theory, with subject-specific pedagogy in areas like language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as courses in curriculum design, classroom management, assessment methods, and child development. Students also gain practical experience through teaching practicums and school internships, where they apply instructional strategies, design lessons, and reflect on classroom practice. The program emphasizes developing communication, instructional planning, reflective practice, and professional ethics, equipping graduates to work as qualified elementary school teachers, curriculum coordinators, or educational program specialists in primary schools and educational organizations, and to pursue advanced studies in education and related fields.
