Abstract:

Rural teachers are not only the first resource of rural education, but also an important foundation for the construction of material and spiritual civilization in rural society. They are also the indispensable force to help the balanced development of urban and rural basic education, education equity and even social equity. It is really important to increase the research on rural Teachers’ problems and produce more research results which are helpful to promote the construction of rural teacher team. At present, although the research results of rural teachers’ problems in our country are gradually fruitful and still increasing, but due to the lack of scientific and reasonable research paradigm and methodology to standardize and guide, the results of which can effectively guide the practice of rural teachers’ team building are quite scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the “meta-research” of rural teachers’ problems. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. And China can learn the advanced experience in the research area of rural teachers from the developed countries such as the United States, Britain and Japan, which has the main characteristics, including the research objectives are concentricity, the contents are microscopic, the methods are empirical, the perspectives are pluralistic, and the results are operable. Drawing on the relevant experience of developed countries and reflecting on the shortcomings of relevant research in China, we should deepen the research theme, pay attention to microscopic study, expand research perspectives, strengthen empirical analysis and devote the results to application in the future.
