- Abstract
Professional master degree on teaching (PMDT) has been popular in recent years in China but there is few research about it in literature. To fill this gap, the present paper analyses characteristics of Chinese PMDT candidates. On the basis of this analysis and self-directed learning theory, the paper studies the construction of self-direction oriented practicum program in a Chinese normal university and the pilot operation. The program encourages PMDT candidates to employ their advantages and to improve their performance through reflection and self- direction with the ultimate goal of enhancing professional improvement.
