The Role Adaptation of Rural Primary School Teachers: Challenges and Solutions

This study examines the role adaptation of rural primary school teachers through a literature review, summarizing the current research on general practice teachers and identifying emerging trends. Interviews were conducted with four rural primary school teachers, revealing key challenges: an incomplete understanding of their responsibilities as head teachers, a lack of theoretical and practical guidance in their role as learners, and insufficient research skills in their role as researchers. To address these issues, the study recommends reducing the number of subjects taught by general practice teachers in rural primary schools and providing targeted training, strengthening professional guidance and improving compensation, offering high-quality learning resources and encouraging further education, and establishing educational alliances to enhance teachers’ research capabilities.
