Rural Teacher Identity and Influencing Factors in Western China
Mingren, Zhao; Shiquan, Fu
Chinese Education & Society, v51 n2 p91-102 2018
The quality of rural teachers is a key factor affecting the quality of rural education. A better understanding of rural teachers is the basis for strengthening their development. It is possible to obtain a more holistic understanding of rural teachers' work and life through their identity. Based on a wealth of case-based information, rural teacher identities are conceptualized as rootless transients, hometown educators, and rural knowledge workers. Rural teacher identity is influenced by a number of social, school-based, and individual factors. A holistic identity for rural teachers requires the integration and balance of traditional rural culture and urban culture. [This article was translated by Michelle LeSourd.]
