Simultaneously, with the constant educational reforms, the education for teachers is gradually growing towards specialization, integration and life-long training. There is growing attention in teachers' education in our country.The success or failure of the whole educational reforms is dependent on the reforms of the teacher education. And the curriculum reform in the teacher education is one of the main decisive factors of teachers' education reform who are qualified to teach for junior and senior schools. Therefore, the research of course system to the undergraduate courses of teacher education in teachers colleges has an important theoretical and practical significance for the development of the teacher education。This thesis is largely collected information of mathematics teacher education in teachers colleges by literature review, comparing mathematics teacher education in six subordinate normal universities to find its similarities and differences.At the same time, this thesis has summed up the advantages of mathematics teacher education in teachers colleges, and gave some suggestions to promote the development of teachers colleges from better to better.This thesis comprises five parts.The first part presented the study background, the significance, the methods, and the purpose of the research.The second part mainly explained the concepts related to this thesis, and described the status of teacher education study at home and abroad.Also attained the sections which had not been concerned the course system of teacher education in the current study.The third part, on the one hand, reviewed the history of teacher education course system in teachers colleges, in order to find the trends in teacher education curriculum development, on the other hand, described the characteristics of the course system of teacher education in six subordinate normal universities. The characteristics included three parts:the proportion of courses, credit & teaching hour and course content.The fourth part mainly compared the curriculum system which contains course structure & course content of mathematics teacher education in six subordinate normal universities. Specifically, course structure refers to the school curriculum in a variety of courses and specific subjects, types of organizations, with the formation of a reasonable relationship with the appropriate ratio is constituted by the various courses, organic, complete unity. Generally, the course system to the undergraduate courses of teacher education in teachers colleges composed by the five parts which are general education courses, discipline based courses, professional education courses, teachers in vocational courses and practical course. Course content is the main part of the curriculum.
