Features: This book is a review guide for the "Education and Psychology" public course of the adult college entrance examination for teacher training majors. The book is divided into two main parts: "Essentials of Education" and "Essentials of Psychology." In terms of content, the book strictly follows the new syllabus, covering everything comprehensively but not evenly, which is what is referred to as "essentials." In terms of language, the book strives to be both profound and accessible, avoiding technical terms without explanation as much as possible. It is largely based on the original lecture notes of our "Education Theory" review courses since 1995, with minor adjustments and additions. Our goal is to help students achieve good exam results while also understanding the fundamental issues of the theory. The book is structured into five parts: Requirements, Essentials, Key Points, Exercises, and Reference Answers.
"Requirements" list the requirements outlined in the syllabus, serving as the overall plan for each chapter and also reflecting the key focus of past exams.
"Essentials" provides a concise analysis of the content specified in the syllabus, with varying levels of detail depending on the specific knowledge points.
"Key Points" uses the "keywords" highlighted in the "Essentials" to reconstruct a "network map" based on the new syllabus system, making it easier to remember and prepare for exams. The "network map" is adjusted and refined.
"Exercises" are designed according to the syllabus requirements and specific content, as well as past exam questions, aiming for quality over quantity.
"Reference Answers" provide answers to objective questions, while subjective questions should be referred to the "Essentials."
It is particularly important to emphasize that readers must carefully study the answer formats of past exam questions to avoid unnecessary points being deducted.
