Education Master Curriculum

Curriculum plays an important role in education graduate studies. The author implies questionnaires to spot check graduate students in education majority and some professors from 7 universities from the point of curriculum settings. The outcomes suggest that the curriculum setting system in education graduate studies is relatively steady and getting matured. There exist 6 main problems: the unbalance within the total curriculum; the lack of students' right to choose courses; the leakage of national ideology which makes no sense; the tendency of examining of some curriculum; the lack of practical training of the courses; limitation of the inter-course resources. The possible reasons leading to these problems include:Firstly, the orientation and the purpose of the education graduates is on innovation and adjustment, so the target of curriculum is relatively obscure. Secondly, the distribution among the three subjects of curriculum settings is unreasonable. The right of nation is large, but that of the institutes and schools is small. Thirdly, the development of curriculum lacks of standards and techniques. Based on the above problems within education graduate curriculum settings, the gross recruitment in graduate studies and the innovation in educational system length of schooling as well, the following suggestions may be adopted. In the principles of meeting the demand of student, majority and society, the curriculum resources should be developed; the idea of curriculum should be updated; the structure should be adjusted; and the standard should be made to choose high-quality courses in order to deepen the curriculum setting innovation.
