Abstract: Science education major is a newly established undergraduate major designed to cultivate teachers for primary and secondary school science courses. Chemistry education plays a key role in achieving the training objectives of this major. Given the current lack of suitable chemistry textbooks for science education major, this paper proposes four guiding principles for the selection of chemistry content: fundamentality, proficiency, applicability to daily life, and interdisciplinarity. These principles are derived from four dimensions: the latest compulsory education curriculum standards, the content of existing elementary science textbooks, the practical needs of daily life, and the requirements for professional skill development. The discussion of these principles provides valuable insights for refining chemistry course content, improving classroom instruction, and compiling chemistry textbooks suitable for science education major.
