Abstract

Teachers' practice guidance is very important in the process of training professionals in early childhood education for children at the age of 0-3 in higher vocational colleges. To promote teachers to better conduct practice guidance, it is necessary to study and remove teachers' action obstacles existing in practice guidance. According to the interviews with 21 teachers in the X College of China, it was found that the teachers were faced with multiple internal and external action obstacles, including weak practice awareness, difficult knowledge structure adjustment, lack of practice quality, insufficient time and energy insufficient attention, lack of support systems, single evaluation mechanisms, unclear industry standards, low admission barriers, and excessive business behavior.
