Investigation and Countermeasures of the Present Situation of Preschool Teachers' Independent Study in Guizhou Minority Areas

Abstract

Independent study is an important way to promote the professional development of preschool teachers. Based on objective sampling, the status of independent study of 520 preschool teachers in Guizhou minority areas were investigated by using mean comparison, variance analysis, and independent sample T test. It was found that independent study of kindergarten teachers in Guizhou minority areas has reached the middle-to-high level; in all dimensions of independent study, the score of self-development and regulation is the highest and the score of autonomous development awareness is the lowest. There are significant differences in gender, age, profession, professional title, educational age, type of kindergarten and region in the independent study of kindergarten teachers. The author puts forward some suggestions to improve the social status and salary of kindergarten teachers, strengthen the professional beliefs of kindergarten teachers; create a study community, strengthen the guidance and training of young teachers; improve the awareness of kindergarten teachers' independent study, enhance the professionalism of kindergarten teachers; establish the awareness of lifelong study and cultivate the self-reflection ability of preschool teachers.
