Research on Talent Training Model of Preschool Education Major in Private Colleges under OBE Educational Philosophy

Abstract

To meet the development needs of preschool education majors in higher education, this study explores an outcome-based talent cultivation model for preschool education majors in private universities under the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy. On the basis of a systematic analysis of current problems, including homogenized cultivation goals, irrational and weakly structured curriculum systems, disconnection between theory and practice, and singular, summative evaluation mechanisms, the paper constructs a refined training framework aligned with OBE principles. The proposed model emphasizes fostering virtue through education, goal-driven orientation, and student-centeredness, and clarifies learning outcomes in terms of professional competence, practical skills, and value formation. It integrates job-oriented learning throughout the entire training process, combines flipped classrooms and project-based teaching with virtual simulation training, and strengthens school–enterprise collaboration to enhance practice-based learning. Furthermore, it adopts diversified and process-oriented evaluation methods that link formative and summative assessment to learning outcomes, thereby improving feedback and continuous quality assurance. The research provides both theoretical guidance and practical reference for optimizing the cultivation of preschool education professionals in private universities, enhancing their employability and professional adaptability, and promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of preschool education.
