Abstract

The research subjects in this paper were general pre-service teachers majoring in primary education in three normal universities. It investigated three aspects, that is, teachers' professional essential knowledge, teachers' professional essential skills and teachers' professional essential information technology ability. It was found that the general pre-service teachers majoring in primary education are most concerned about the acquisition of educational knowledge, instructional design, and technical literacy while ignoring the knowledge of general knowledge, reflection and development, assessment and diagnosis. They pay more attention to professional development but with low satisfaction. They lack professional development planning and they are confused because of the limited academic vision. Based on this, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed, to increase the educational career planning curriculum, to provide direction guidance for their professional development, to establish self-reflection awareness, to strengthen reflection and guidance, to optimize the integrated curriculum system and to increase the proportion of the information technology in the curriculum.
