Rural education development serves as an intrinsic driving force for rural revitalization, with the professional development of teachers in small rural schools being a critical component of this advancement. Currently, the professional growth of these educators faces significant challenges, including a lack of professional and cultural identity, insufficient specialized knowledge and skills, and inadequate training support. This study, grounded in Bourdieu's field theory, analyzes factors influencing professional development through three dimensions: field rules, teacher habitus, and capital divides. It proposes improvement strategies: reshaping the educational field, refining teacher habitus, and enriching developmental capital. Ultimately, these approaches aim to overcome challenges and achieve professional growth.
