Abstract:

As a complex subgroup among rural teachers,the new generation of rural teachers may experience cultural shock to varying degrees when they begin teaching in unfamiliar rural areas or return to their hometowns after completing their undergraduate or graduate studies. Based on the exploratory analysis of grounded theory,this study identified four main types of cultural shock experienced by these teachers:life culture shock,role culture shock,work culture shock and cultural distance transition shock. To alleviate the cultural shock of the new generation of rural teachers,it is suggested to clarify the different types and evolution patterns of cultural shock,and guide the new generation of rural teachers to critically assess both the negative and positive effects of cultural shock;to consider the differences between different cultures from the perspective of “appreciating the beauty of diversity”,strengthen the collision and integration of different cultures,so as to effectively solve the problem of culture shock;and to provide precision for the new generation of rural teachers with multiple forces to help them transform from culture shock to cultural service.

Key words: new generation of rural teachers, cultural shock, mitigation strategies
