Master of education is a professional degree, which came into being in response to the development of national basic education. With the gradual expansion of the scale of professional postgraduates, some deep-seated problems have emerged and become the shackles of the professional development.

1. Master of education started late

Compared with traditional academic graduate students, China's master of education has developed for only more than 20 years, and is still a recruit in the field of graduate students. From the initial training class for middle school backbone teachers to the recruitment of in-service and fresh students, we still haven't found a perfect training model. The problem is unclear and the direction is unknown. It seems that we are still crossing the river by feeling the stone.

2. Lack of high-quality tutor team

As the master of education focuses on training middle school teachers, most university teachers disdain middle school and only focus on their own academic research. Therefore, teachers engaged in pedagogy and Pedagogy in normal universities found opportunities. They transplanted their majors to master of education, undertook the formulation of middle school curriculum, the compilation of middle school textbooks, the master of education training plan, and mastered the right to speak and policy-making. Those who are engaged in teaching method research control the master of education, as if they were authority, so they have the power to give orders. It is hard to imagine a master of education in command of a "marginal" small discipline and driving thousands of troops.

Tutors are congenitally deficient. Most of the original tutors focused on teaching and had weak scientific research ability. Vulnerable groups in schools. After becoming a master's tutor, he has his own domain, complacent, muddle along, and has the same status as the academic graduate tutor. Imagine the gap between such a tutor and an academic tutor is so large that it is doomed that the level will not be high. In recent years, due to the expansion of tutor team and the surge of professional enrollment, some academic tutors have also begun to join the ranks of master of education tutors, but they lack the ability to guide master of education, which is just to recruit more students to rub the workload.

3. The training mode is unknown

The master of education takes secondary education as the research object. Usually first learn courses (pedagogy, psychology, teaching methods, teaching theory, etc.), and then go to middle school for internship and internship. It is inseparable from teaching skills, textbook analysis, case design, extracurricular activities, class teachers and so on. There are many hurdles in selecting the topic, and the content is limited. Therefore, questionnaires, interviews and cases have become fashionable. All questions are the same questionnaire, all cases can solve all problems, and all results are judged by academic achievements. You don't need to use your brain at all. Because there are no other methods besides practice, they invented "literature research method", "practice method", "statistical method" and other ironic methods to show their uniqueness and diversity. The terrible thing is that it has become a fixed routine. There is also the curriculum. There is no overall planning. It is very common for people to set up courses. Teaching skill training becomes the main course, lecture, speech, blackboard writing, PPT, substitution theory, and discussion. The internship is handed over to the middle school, which rarely cares. The examination of papers goes through the motions, and few fail. Just recruit, regardless of training, will harm people's children.

4. The narrow scope of topics leads to the routinization of papers

In recent years, the topic selection of master of education thesis has fallen into the trap of routine, homogenization and similarity are common. Due to the restrictive factors, it seems that there are only a few problems, turning over and over, tossing and turning around, and the thinking is gradually rigid. Teachers and students were confused when choosing topics and didn't know what to do. So the tutors and students are used to it. They don't have to think. Just "based on..." and referring to others is a starting point. Fried concept, fried mode, change soup without changing medicine, take a few fashionable theories as a facade, even if there is a theoretical basis. The logical confusion of some papers is the result of plagiarism and splicing. Entangled in the details of questionnaires, scales, teaching plans and statistical charts, I forgot what the master of education is doing and what should be done? Do not want to make progress, step by step, year after year, deal with things. How much gold is there in such a master of education? If this continues, one day the master of education will decline.

5. Tutors lack communication and students have no independent ideas

Tutors have tutor's questions and students have students' questions.

The level of tutors is uneven, and there are few normal academic exchanges. It seems that putting forward opinions has become a personal attack, moving other people's cheese, and can't tolerate other people's criticism. It's up to their own students to take whatever they want, as long as they can deal with graduation.

Today's students are fresh students. Their examination oriented education in middle school has made them numb to the current situation of middle school and think that existence is reasonable. There is no power to find and solve problems, let alone thinking about middle school education. As long as you practice your skills, have a good class and write a thesis, you'll get your degree. I like to show and perform. I don't want to study the original work hard, let alone think about it. Internship less than a year, or even a few months, looking for a job has become the primary task. The communication between teachers and students almost stalled.

6. Educational research has become the patent of a few people

When it comes to educational research, it seems to be a problem of pedagogy. In fact, education is not only the concern of every university teacher, but also the problem of the whole society. It is now customary for some education experts to make reports, talk loudly with the wind, and do not solve practical problems. As if they were talking about the "edict". Some core educational journals are inaccessible to outsiders. Therefore, some middle school education journals also benefit a lot from this. The layout fee of a small paper is close to that of an academic journal and becomes a cash cow.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, Gong Zizhen's poem "Kyushu is angry, relying on the wind and thunder, thousands of horses are silent, and the investigation can be sad. I advise the God to be energetic, not stick to one style and reduce talents." the poem still has practical significance today. Emancipate the mind, innovate boldly and pay attention to real problems. It is urgent to show the courage of reform and let the master of education Phoenix Nirvana.
