Abstract

There are commonalities in the management mechanism of primary school pre service teacher selection among China, Japan, and South Korea, but the emphasis on selection standards, procedures, and methods is different. Based on comprehensive comparative analysis, China should improve the enrollment system for primary education majors and strengthen the overall quality and moral examination of teachers beyond the general cultural examination; reasonably arrange the educational internship time for primary school education majors, improve the content of educational internships, and incorporate the evaluation of educational internships into teacher appointment standards; improve the content and evaluation methods of China's primary school teacher qualification examination, and correctly play the guiding function of China's primary school teacher qualification examination. Based on the actual situation of teacher education in our country, we should continuously improve teacher appointment assessment and increase the autonomy of primary schools in teacher appointment.
