Abstract


The research objectives are as follows: 1) To study the current situation of the research ability of rural middle school teachers in Guizhou Province; 2) Design guidelines to promote the research ability of rural middle school teachers in Guizhou Province. The sample group of this study used Reliability Statistics and KMO and Bartlett's Test tables to conduct a stratified random sampling of 500 rural middle school teachers in Guizhou province. Research tools include questionnaires, and data analysis includes Descriptive Statistics and Correlations. Research results include: The research ability of rural middle school teachers in Guizhou Province is low (x̅=2.716,S.D.=0.985) in seven aspects as follows: 1) the low level of innovation ability (x̅=2.524,S.D.=1.016),2) the low level of language ability (x̅=2.754,S.D.=1.078). 3) Low level of literature ability (x̅=2.826,S.D.=1.157), 4) low level of investigation ability (x̅=2.556,S.D.=1.063) ,5) low level of planning ability (x̅=2.789,S.D.=1.048),5) low level of implementation ability (x̅=2.633,S.D.=0.993) ,7) low level of documentation ability (x̅=2.433,S.D.=0.898). The researchers proposed the following guidelines for improving the research ability of rural middle school teachers in Guizhou province; 1)Strengthen the professional development system of teachers: establish a systematic research ability training mechanism to provide continuous learning and development opportunities; 2)Improve the evaluation and incentive mechanism: Integrate the research results into the teacher evaluation system, provide professional title promotion, rewards and financial support, and improve the enthusiasm of research; 3) Strengthen government and community support: increase policy support and financial input, and encourage enterprises and social organizations to jointly support teachers' scientific research activities; 4)Improve teachers' awareness of research: strengthen the publicity of the importance of educational research, guide teachers to take the initiative to participate in research, and improve research interest and motivation; 5)Foster a culture of self-reflection, innovation and lifelong learning: Encourage teachers to use research methods in teaching, improve teaching quality, and promote interdisciplinary learning and innovation
