摘要

Abstract

Rural education development serves as an intrinsic driving force for rural revitalization

with the professional development of teachers in small rural schools being a critical component of this advancement. Currently

the professional growth of these educators faces significant challenges

including a lack of professional and cultural identity

insufficient specialized knowledge and skills

and inadequate training support. This study

grounded in Bourdieu's field theory

analyzes factors influencing professional development through three dimensions: field rules

teacher habitus

and capital divides. It proposes improvement strategies: reshaping the educational field

refining teacher habitus

and enriching developmental capital. Ultimately

these approaches aim to overcome challenges and achieve professional growth.
