Elementary Education at Nanjing Normal University (南京师范大学) is an undergraduate Teacher Education major offered within the School of Education Science that prepares students for careers in primary (elementary) education. As a core teacher-training discipline at one of China’s oldest normal universities, the program emphasizes foundational educational theory, child development, curriculum and pedagogy for elementary grades, classroom management, and professional teaching skills. Through a mix of coursework and practical experiences, students learn how to design and implement effective learning activities, understand the cognitive and social development of young learners, and apply modern teaching methods in real classroom settings. Graduates are equipped to become qualified primary school teachers or education professionals, ready to support student learning and contribute to basic education in schools, educational institutions, or further academic study in education and related fields. The discipline reflects NNU’s broader strength in teacher education and its role in cultivating educators for China’s basic education system.
