The study of the peculiarities of student teachers’ practical training in China was carried out taking into account the nature of the system of teacher education development in this country. The relevance of the study is due to the systemic challenge of integrating theory and practice in teacher education. As China's education modernization process develops, the government, universities and educational institutions are looking for effective mechanisms and ways to successfully combine theory and practical training. The aim is to provide regions of the country, education departments and educational institutions with highly qualified teachers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of teachers’ practical training in China in a specific historical period, to identify its structural features, ways of implementation, and to summarize the experiences of teacher education in China. The study implemented a historical-genetic, factual and problem-chronological approach. Tracing the evolution of the Chinese teacher education system vertically and analyzing objective data, such as political documents, statistical data and major events in the field of education, the study describes the regularities and modern features of the development of practical teacher education and training in China. The author has analyzed and summarized scientific articles in Russian and Chinese on the subject of the research. In addition, primary sources – normative acts, agreements, administrative documents of the Chinese government were used. The study revealed and confirmed that the practical training system of higher pedagogical education in China has dynamic evolutionary features: from a focus on expanding scale to improving quality; from a single and closed training mode to a multiple and open mode of joint teacher training; from binary division to the construction of an integrated system that connects pre-service training with post-service training with the active use of ICT, adapting them to modern conditions. The results of the study will provide a theoretical basis for improving teacher education policies and will help teacher training institutions to optimize their curricula. For schools, this is an opportunity to introduce innovative teaching methods, which will ultimately improve teachers' professional skills and the quality of basic education. This has important practical implications for modernizing the education system and building a strong nation.
