Fan: In my opinion, the meaning of life is not how long a person can live, nor how much material foundation a person can gain. But the richness and splendor of life itself. With the growth of age, many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains the same, that is, I will always insist on doing what I like, and hope that my efforts can be valuable to the lives of others. I think this is the only way for me to realize the value of my life. The focus of my undergraduate study is economics, and I have made excellent academic achievements in this field. My GPA is 3.44 (my GRE score is 2020, TOEFL-). During four years of undergraduate study, I won a scholarship for my excellent academic performance. Because of my excellent performance in extracurricular activities, I was awarded the title of outstanding student in campus activities. However, to be honest, what I am really interested in is not economics, but education. Since I was a primary school student, I have a strong desire for a teaching career that follows my teacher's example. In my practical teaching work after graduation from university, I have come to realize that the existing educational conditions in China are far from satisfactory. Backward teaching methods and prevailing educational ideas make China's education incompatible with the development of modern international education. On the macro level, China's current educational theory and practice obviously lag behind the western advanced countries. For example, although education through the Internet has made great progress in the past two years, in practice, this kind of education often degenerates into an extension of traditional exam-oriented education, rather than a real interactive process. According to my personal experience, although some problems I encountered in my teaching career can be solved by consulting relevant technical documents, I found that the more serious defects inherent in China's current education system are not easy to solve. In this case, an advanced education plan becomes necessary. In this information age, traditional education, whether in ideas or methods, is confronted with unprecedented challenges like many other aspects of human existence. At the same time, the pursuit of a higher level of educational development and quality of life has greatly changed the public's educational value orientation. The educational model centered on cognitive and intellectual teaching has been seriously questioned. People pay more and more attention to the cultivation of sound personality and the subjective position of individuals in education. The internal research of educational science, decision-making of educational science and meta-education have also been paid more and more attention. Educational research methods have also been innovated. The trend is to combine modern technology with humanism and naturalism, and to combine qualitative description with quantitative description organically. It is also important to carry out educational experiments, in which educational prediction is supplemented by educational feedback. The complexity of education and the complexity of human individuals make it necessary to comprehensively use different educational methods. These new horizons fascinate me. In view of the following qualifications I have obtained, I believe that I will express myself satisfactorily in the doctoral program of education that I am trying to apply for. First and foremost, as people often say, a person's interest is his best guide. I believe I will do what I am really interested in. Secondly, although I majored in economics as an undergraduate, my training at that stage helped to cultivate effective thinking patterns and research methods. In addition, I have taught myself many books related to education, including The History of the Development of Western Educational Science, which enables me to lay a solid foundation for further research in this field. Secondly, it can be safely asserted that education and economy are not completely separated. For example, it is necessary to apply many statistical methods in educational psychology, and my academic performance shows that statistics is my best subject. Last but not least, my current teaching career and my teaching experience will play an active role in promoting my target degree course. The reason why I applied to Oxford University is that it is the first state university with a long history. The college of education of this university stands out among its peers in this field. I am particularly attracted by the school's powerful teaching resources, active academic atmosphere and comprehensive courses. I intend to apply for a degree course in educational technology or educational psychology, which enjoy unparalleled academic reputation in the world. My motivation for applying for teaching technology is my strong interest in the application of modern science and technology, especially information technology represented by the Internet in the field of education and a series of revolutionary changes brought about by it. Educational technology is a new subject with the rapid development of modern communication technology since the late 20th century. It has great development and commercial application potential. As for my motivation to choose educational psychology as another possible professional field in the degree course, it is mainly my long-term interest. On the other hand, since1960s, all successful educators have mastered psychology. Almost every important new educational theory comes from the discovery of psychology in one way or another, so educational psychology later developed into a basic discipline of educational science. The trend of 2 1 century is to emphasize the micro-study of educational activities. Under this background, educational psychology will be paid more attention. In educational technology, I want to focus on the following aspects: how to apply the research results of natural science and engineering technology to improve educational efficiency; How to make use of the theoretical achievements of psychology and pedagogy on the teaching process, explore the combination and coordination of teaching contents and improve teaching methods. In educational psychology, I will focus on applied cognition and development, genius and creative education, genetics and children's development, personality structure and individual differences and other related disciplines. For me, turning from economy to education and studying for a higher degree in the United States is not so much a challenge as an opportunity. At present, almost every important aspect of China society is undergoing major reforms. In particular, the education sector needs comprehensive reform. The United States occupies an absolute leading position in the field of education in the world today. I am convinced that in the United States, advanced educational theory, technology and information will greatly help me make remarkable academic progress and realize my desire to become an accomplished professional in the field of education. This will not only make my patriotic passion come true, but also make my life more meaningful and rewarding. Fan: In China, as in the United States, people can easily give up their careers as language teachers and become lawyers or businessmen. However, I gave up my promising career in law and business to become a language teacher, but I never regretted it. In fact, the more I teach, the more I devote myself to teaching. But it's not just teaching. After struggling with the traditional teaching mode in China for several years, I now want to help improve teaching in China by introducing new and more effective teaching techniques and media. To this end, I want to study for an advanced degree in education in your country. I am now an English teacher in the training center of China Container Corporation. I graduated from Beijing capital university of economics and business on 1995, majoring in commercial law. I have received extensive and rigorous training in this highly respected institution of higher learning. After four years of undergraduate study, the inherent strong logic of law has been transformed into the strong logic in my thinking. With the knowledge and skills I gained in the legal project, I can proudly say that this intellectual maturity will help me do anything. But law has never been my first choice. I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher since my high school days. When I was a sophomore, once we had to write a composition entitled "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I proudly wrote: "I want to be a teacher!" " But my parents insisted that I take another job, which shattered my dream. My father is an engineer with a doctorate, and my mother is a college English teacher. They have their own reasons. Teachers in China, especially those who teach in primary and secondary schools, have low salaries and are not respected. Because I was young and inexperienced, I agreed to their wishes when I chose my major for the university. But my enthusiasm for teaching will not be suppressed forever. Whenever there is an opportunity, it will explode. When I graduated with a bachelor's degree in law, I first worked as a supervisor in China Container Corporation, in charge of its overseas sales department. Because this job requires frequent Chinese-English translation, I insist on improving my English by attending various training courses and self-study. I have a good command of foreign languages. About a year later, I began to teach my colleagues in the company's training center. After going through great twists and turns, my career finally got back on track. For me, teaching is so interesting because it is a learning experience. I like my students to ask some difficult questions, especially those that I have to think for a long time to answer. I also like to ask students questions, but my questions are never intended to intimidate students, or even to test their knowledge, but to stimulate their thinking. In the constant exchange of questions and answers, both students and teachers have improved themselves, which is in line with an old saying of China: Teaching is learning. During my three-year teaching career, I really learned a lot. One thing I have learned is that I can not only deal with people from different backgrounds, but also reach an agreement with them. My students in the training center are all adults and have completed various roles and occupations. In most cases, they are older than me. Although I am equal to them, I have always been their mentor and role model, just like most teachers treat their students. By doing so, I won their trust and confidence in my teaching, which helped to make my teaching powerful and effective. In order to make full use of my teaching skills, I began to teach English and other subjects in the primary school where I was a child from 10/996. As the children I teach are about the same age as when I was studying here, I am particularly sensitive to their needs and appreciate their potential. Together with other teachers, I designed various training programs such as calligraphy, art, writing, mental arithmetic and English, which combined learning with entertainment. The children in my class are learning more and faster now, thanks to the fun they find in my program every day. However, entertainment is not just a strategy I use to give children a taste of the bitter fruit of learning, but has its inherent value. If there is no fun, it is difficult for children to learn well. Lack of fun is more harmful than children's learning ability. It will damage children's emotional and psychological health to an extent that the knowledge and skills instilled in them by monotonous teaching can't be compensated. Therefore, if we want to help children grow up to be useful to society, entertainment is part of what our teachers must provide them. In my opinion, entertainment should be regarded as the end of education. Since education in China is mainly to help children pass exams, ordinary teachers or principals rarely think of entertainment. In the upsurge of making super children measured by ex ams, the purpose of education is often ignored. The course is limited to the subjects of the compulsory examination. Students are seldom encouraged to put forward novel ideas. In the classroom, the interaction between teachers and students is kept to a minimum. Teachers compete to pile homework on their students, and so do parents. Although everyone is tired to death, few children have the ability to take the initiative or solve real-world problems. It's time to introduce new methods. One of the ways to change the classroom in China is to use new teaching technology and media. Like schools in other places, school authorities in China are increasingly aware of the importance of computerization, and many schools with better conditions in China have been equipped with the most advanced computers. But the report says that only a small part of these computers are fully utilized. The situation of other educational technologies and media is not much better. They either do not appear in the school environment or are rarely used. Few teachers in China have mastered the knowledge or motivation to use these modern facilities. Therefore, I want to study for a master's degree in educational technology and media in the United States first, and then for a doctorate. In the United States, the use of modern educational facilities is undoubtedly the most advanced in the world. Judging from the information I collected from your website, I think your institution is in the leading position in the United States in this field. I am eager to study under the experienced guidance of your outstanding teachers. I hope that after I finish the advanced training of your project, I can become a more efficient teacher in China and set an example for all other teachers in China.
