Abstract:

Taking D University as a case study, this paper adopts the method of questionnaire survey and text analysis to track the development of professional knowledge of full-time English M.Ed students, and focuses on analyzing the relationship between each component of professional knowledge of full-time English M.Ed students and various teacher training courses. The study found that the overall development of the professional knowledge of full-time English M.Ed students is relatively good, but each component presents different levels of development. Different types of teacher training courses have different degrees of contribution to the development of the professional knowledge of the Master of English Education. Educational practice courses contribute the most to the development of English subject teaching knowledge, subject literacy courses have a higher contribution to the development of English subject knowledge, subject teaching courses promote the accumulation of curriculum knowledge, and educational theory courses have not promoted educational theoretical knowledge as they should effect. Based on this, suggestions that will help the continuous improvement of teacher training projects are put forward.

Key words: full-time master of education, teacher professional knowledge, teacher education curricula, pre-service teacher
