Research on Perception and Influencing Factors of Rural Teacher Training Quality from the Perspective of Policy Tools —Based on the Western and Northern Regions of Guangdong Province
Policy tools are the bridge and link between policy formulation and policy implementation. Examining the perception of training quality brought by different types of policy tools to rural teachers is a starting point for understanding, evaluating, and improving the quality of rural teacher training. Using a questionnaire survey method, a quantitative study was conducted on rural teachers in the western and northern regions of Guangdong Province from dimensions such as quality perception status, influencing factors of quality perception, and the correlation between policy tools and quality perception. Data analysis shows that the overall satisfaction of survey respondents with the quality of training in recent years is close to a “relatively satisfactory” state. The respondents’ recognition of different types of policy tools varies. There is a significant positive correlation between the five types of policy tools and the perception of rural teacher training quality, but the strength of the correlation varies across various variables. On this basis, propose suggestions for the application of various policy tools in rural teacher training practices.
