Abstract:The provincial teaching skills competition plays an important role in guiding the quality of training normal students. A comparison is made of the national teaching skills competition and the Jiangsu provincial competition from the4 as- pects of the participants, competition chart, transparency and follow-up mechanism. Based on the comparative analysis, reflec- tions and suggestions are made for the perfection of the teaching skills competition as follows: to allow more grades of students to participate in the competition so as to offer them more opportunities; to adopt the whole process model to test the realistic value of the teaching skills; to increase the competition transparency by live broadcast; to perfect the post-competition mecha- nism to expand the influence and practicality of the competition.
