ABSTRACT

The preschool education in China is currently in a stage of rapid development, gradually transitioning from "nurturing young children" to "nurturing young children with excellence". "Providing excellent education for young children" is the current goal pursued by the development of preschool education. The key to achieving this goal lies in the teaching staff and undergraduate students majoring in preschool education will be the main reserve force for the future development of preschool education. The improvement of the quality of talent cultivation in undergraduate preschool education is the key to cultivating professional identity. Based on the perspective of teacher professional identity, this article analyses the connotation and relationship between professional identity and talent cultivation in undergraduate preschool education. It explores the practical path of talent cultivation in undergraduate preschool education from four templates: basic knowledge, professional skills, language ability, and professional practice, in order to help preschool education students improve their professional identity and promote the development of preschool education.
