Thus kinds the problem are exposed in practice. The concept of teachereducation lags behind the education reform;training objectives are inaccurate;the curriculumarrangement put on one-sides emphasis on discipline-based subjects;the evaluation systemlacks flexible;incentive mechanism;the education of primary school teachers are onimbalance.Therefore, according to the general requirements for pre-service training of primaryschool teachers in basic education, the following measures are provided in order to improvethe current pre-service training:First, establishing a new concept of modern primary school teacher's education,emphasizing a people-oriented thinking, lying emphasis on the human values of teacherseducation and taking the initiative to adapt to the basic education requirements.Secondly, formulating a scientific training objectives and stating clear and specificrequirement.

In line with the basic needs of personal training, the great efforts of integrating therelevant part of curriculums must be strengthened;with the study of the research principles,methods and specific strategies of the integration, the barriers between disciplines must bebroken so as to upgrade the content of the complicated system of some courses and tighten thehorizontal linkage between courses of education and psychology to build a modular-platformcurriculum installation so that students could have greater autonomy. The study develops theprofessional development courses delivered by Teachers Education Division and it proposesto establish the following six modular courses on the basic of the professional platformcourses: the Chinese and social direction, art and community direction, the direction ofmathematics and science, English and social direction, music and social direction, sports andscientific direction.
