Since the media era, a group of rural teachers have made new achievements.

In 2022, Ding Yuling, a rural primary school teacher in Fuyang, Anhui Province, gained millions of fans with the video account of "Diary of Rural Teachers". Why can an ordinary rural teacher's diary attract millions of people to watch? Without careful editing design and specific script, a group of primary school students argued about which Altman was more handsome. In the summer, faced with the sudden home visit of the teacher, they were at a loss and even had a big fight with the teacher in the office. The audience not only interpreted the "plot" with relish in the barrage, but also joked with classmates who often appeared in the camera like friends. Millions of people collectively miss being "taught" by teachers. In recent years, a large number of rural teachers' blogs have sprung up on short video platforms such as Tik Tok, A Aauto Quicker and Bi Li. In their shots, there are innocent students, rural teachers' "unknown" mental journey and daily life, and even more amazing "dramatic" teacher-student interaction. This unique group shows the real countryside in daily life, and also makes more and more people know about rural education and rural teachers. On April 14, the Ministry of Education and other eight departments issued the Plan for the Construction of Teachers' Team in Basic Education in the New Period (hereinafter referred to as the Plan for the Construction of Teachers' Team), which made arrangements for strengthening the construction of rural teachers' team in underdeveloped areas from the aspects of professional title evaluation and material security. Under this background, when rural teachers become "bloggers among network celebrities", can they bring new changes to rural education in the face of the doubts of audience, traffic and network? After becoming a teacher, Chi Xiang, a girl born in Tonghua, Jilin Province, happened to find that the way to talk about herself through short videos can become a bond between parents and children: "I recorded a video before asking my children about their dreams, and some parents forwarded it to a circle of friends, saying that I never knew that children had such an idea." When rural children feel the appreciation of their parents and the encouragement of strangers on the platform, they also learn to actively explore their potential from their initial shyness, and the camera gradually becomes a "reward" to encourage children to bravely show themselves. Chixiang was originally worried about invasion of privacy, actively coding or deliberately avoiding the appearance of children. After communicating with parents and children, the latter even asked for a moderate appearance. "The lens not only brings parents, children and teachers closer, but also opens up new ways of home-school communication." With the increase of fans of primary and secondary school students, Chixiang often receives complaints from children about their troubles in study, family and making friends. "I will take time to reply to private letters, hoping that these children will shorten the distance from their teachers, encourage them to trust their teachers, make friends with them and solve problems in time." The video of "Class Committee Campaign" made Zhu Wenjie, a post-90s blogger, "become a very hard-working class teacher" and "out of the loop". She hoped that more people would see the expectation of rural children's "inner strength" and attract netizens to watch. Shooting the video was not only supported by parents, but also recognized by the school principal. Then, more and more normal students and new teachers take the initiative to exchange teaching methods with her, which gives her more room to explore when she resumes her teaching. "I hope my video can provide you with positive significance and value, such as how to interact with children in class, how to manage classes, or how to design Chinese classes." Zhu Wenjie said. To break the stereotype of rural education on the Internet, attention is always accompanied by doubts and criticisms. "Is there a professional packaging and business purpose behind it?" "There must be a script behind this." Scenes and contents are accusations of "show", which are common in the comment areas of various rural teachers and bloggers. "Truth" is a fact that rural teachers and bloggers have always emphasized in interviews. It is impossible for all students to cooperate with "performance" in daily life. Zhu Wenjie mentioned: "When talking about rural education and left-behind children, many people will think of keywords such as' old teacher',' bad personality',' loneliness',' sensitivity' and' poor learning', which is a stereotype." Wen Jun, dean and professor of the School of Social Development of East China Normal University, pointed out that these doubts originated from stereotypes not only came from the regional differences in the level of rural education development, but also from the inherent defects of the media itself: "The camera has a strong selectivity, which is itself a diversified presentation, while the public often lacks the awareness of screening and has no energy to distinguish, so it is easy to generalize. In addition, the edited content is very short, so the photographer can't fully present it, so the stereotype will definitely exist. However, we can't make a macro judgment on the local education situation and even rural education in China. " "They first resort to daily life. The laughter of the children in the camera will change the public's cognition of rural education and life, and tear off the label of' backward rural education'. This action is valuable. " Liu Jia, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Yangzhou University School of Education Science, is more optimistic. "The reason why they dare to share and gain the recognition of fans is more because of their status as rural teachers, otherwise they will not present such a relaxed and humorous emotional tone." In fact, with the state's policy support for rural education and the overall victory in the fight against poverty in recent years, the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing at the level of compulsory education. The improvement of teachers' salary, the tilt of professional title evaluation policy, the construction of school buildings and electronic facilities, and the training and recruitment of rural teachers are all intuitive feelings of teachers in recent years, and they are also the focus of implementing all-round protection in the future "strengthening teachers plan". Rural teacher bloggers gradually began to face up to the role of lens in improving rural stereotypes, and broke the relatively conservative knowledge vision and the difference between urban and rural vision through technology. "China has a vast territory and is developing rapidly. Nowadays, life in rural primary schools can be as colorful as that in cities. I hope that there will be no rural teachers and no urban teachers in the future, and I hope that there will be no left-behind children. " Zhu Wenjie said so. "Turning attention into powerful help action" often presents a mixed situation when searching for "rural teachers" on major short video platforms, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Where there is concern, there is traffic. How to make good use of traffic is an unavoidable topic. In the interview, Zhu Wenjie said frankly: "I didn't expect to attract many people's attention and love. However, a concern, a praise and a comment are all a kind of support for this student group and these participating teachers. When these bits and pieces of support come together, it may bring about qualitative changes and bring tangible benefits to rural education and left-behind children. " With the growth of fans, this also made her "have to pay attention to this' small influence' and hope that my video can bring positive energy to everyone". In this regard, experts reminded that platforms, schools, governments and other multi-subjects should play a supervisory role in such videos. "Any governance is a process from disorder to order, from external organization to internal autonomy. On the one hand, there will be survival of the fittest on the platform, and bloggers who can really persist will not exceed the expectations and cognition of the society for the profession of teachers. On the other hand, bloggers also have a process of self-reflection. It can't be said that young people are required to have such a great sense of responsibility and mission from the beginning. However, they will gradually develop into careers and realize the correct establishment of the image from individuals to teachers through video. " Liu Jia said. In addition, Liu Jia believes that short video platform is also a good opportunity to develop professional skills because of his long-term participation in Internet public welfare cooperation and national poverty alleviation projects through education. She encouraged more young teachers to combine technical ability, media literacy and professional development, such as consciously relying on short videos to share systematic teaching resource packages, thus expanding the overall professional development of rural teachers. "Rural teacher bloggers are showing the confidence and tenacity of traditional villages. The action of the' Icebreaker' is not necessarily profound, but instinctive, and groups of people will be affected. Keep up. However, it is difficult to rely on the dedication of rural teachers for a long time, and the long-term idealized image of teachers' candles burning themselves in the media should also change with the new era. Under the policy combination boxing, the teacher industry is booming, and more and more people are willing to become rural teachers. " Liu Jia said. Wenjun encourages government departments to incorporate the accounts of rural teachers and bloggers into the local media matrix, so that these bloggers can combine their horizons with local resources and bring more perspectives to rural revitalization. "The key to the revitalization of rural areas is the revitalization of people." Wen Jun emphasized that how to give rural teachers a sense of identity and happiness and give them full respect in spirit and social status is the fundamental solution to the problem of "unable to recruit, unable to stay and unable to teach well". Rebuilding the public's understanding of the countryside and making "going back to the countryside" become an avant-garde wave and a voluntary atmosphere, which is not limited to the profession of teachers. The "Strong Teacher Program" released this time has established a policy system for the construction of full-caliber teachers. At the press conference of the Ministry of Education, Ren Youqun, director of the Department of Teacher Affairs of the Ministry of Education, also said hopefully: "I hope more aspiring young people who really love teaching can become teachers and go to places where they are most needed in the motherland to undertake the mission of revitalizing rural education. Teachers' colleges should always be the strong backing of rural graduates, continue to pay attention to and track the professional development of graduates, especially teachers in poverty-stricken areas, and cultivate' big teachers' who support the high-quality development of education in underdeveloped areas.
