Practice of Preparing Rural Teachers in Pre-service Teacher Education in Australia and Its Enlightenment
There is a large number of rural schools and rural students in Australia.Nearly half of the schools are located in rural and remote areas,which account for nearly a third of all students in Australia.Australia is a highly urbanized nation,but the development of education is extremely unbalanced between urban and rural areas.Education in rural areas has been troubled by low quality and teacher shortage.In order to resolve these problems,Australia has made great efforts in initial teacher education,including carrying out a large number of rural education surveys and research projects,developing rural teacher education curriculum,promoting the practice of pre-service rural education for normal school students,establishing a multi-party cooperative rural teacher training mechanism,and issuing the National Professional Standards for Teachers according to the characteristics of rural education,and so forth.These have important implications for the pre-service teacher educaiton for rural teachers in China.
