Abstract

 The professional development of rural teachers is not only related to their personal growth, but also directly affects the improvement of rural education quality and the future development of rural students. Although the professional development of rural teachers is highly valued in today's society, there is still an issue of unequal education resources and investment between urban and rural areas in China. This study aims to determine the professional development of primary school teachers in rural China. This study used a questionnaire survey method to determine the career development in rural China. 600 teachers will be randomly assigned to 50 rural primary schools in Sichuan Province. After collecting data, this study will use SPSS for analysis to measure the professional development of participants. This has potential impacts on both policy and practice. In addition, this study provides a solid evidence foundation for policy-making on training opportunities.
