• Resumen

  • Given the big gap between rural areas and cities and developed areas of China in basic education, it is of great significance to train a large number of excellent teachers for basic education in the vast rural areas so as to boost basic education there and achieve educational equity. Hanshan Normal University is a regional normal university located in Chaoshan, Guangdong, China. The Chemistry Education major aims to foster outstanding chemistry teachers for rural middle schools in Guangdong, especially for the Chaoshan region. The university is committed to forming a reasonable knowledge structure for Chemistry Education majors, improving their experimental skills and capabilities in experimental design and educational research while cultivating their emotion in taking root in rural areas as well. Practice has proven that this program for training outstanding chemistry teachers for rural middle schools is fruitful.
