This thesis is a periodical achievement of Research and Experimentation on Accelerating the Steps of Popularizing the Compulsory Education in the Impoverished Areas of Northwest China.Thirty-six teachers, who came from nine primary schools in Biezang town, Jishishan Baoan, Dongxiang and Sala autonomous county, Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture of Gansu province in the northwest China, were invited to participate in our research. In order to find out the respective needs in the in-service education of teachers, we adopted Action Research pattern and used research methods synthetically, such as literature review, questionnaire survey, in-depth interview and participant observation and etc.. All we do is to advance an efficient way to enhance the in-service teachers?quality by using the school-based model of teachers?in-service education, and then to improve the quality of primary education, and to accelerate the steps of popularizing the compulsory education in the impoverished areas of northwest China.According to the schools?own development plans, and the assessment of the present situations and potentialities of teachers, the school-based model of teachers?in-service education is to plan the training solely or collaborate with the academic research institutes and researchers, and make full use of all the resources inside or outside the schools that can contribute to the training, in order to realize the development of the schools as well as all the teachers in the schools. This is a new model of improving teachers?quality, which emerges in the trends of the unity of pre-service education and in-service education in teachers?education. Now it has been the main melody of teachers?education, especially in teachers?in-service education. Therefore the school-based in-service education has the realistic significance in enhancing teachers?.Iv.Abstract V.qualities and advancing the educational development in the impoverished areas of northwest China.With the development of this theory, based on the situation of the impoverished areas of northwest China, and under the principles of 搃n school, based on school and for school? we draw up the specific plan for guiding the research, setting up training leading group and carrying out a series of training activities on three aspects: changing ideas; advancing abilities and enlarging knowledge.In order to change the participants?ideas, we conducted courses of lectures on Fundamental Understanding of Quality-oriented Education, and propagandized several topics, such as Applauding for the Morality of Teachers and Teaching as a United Collective etc..In the respect of advancing abilities, especially the ability of teaching in classrooms, we developed writing teaching by demonstration, strengthened the guidance of how to prepare and evaluate a lesson, and visited the demonstration lectures of classroom teaching in Lanzhou.In the respect of enlarging knowledge, because of the limitations ~of conditions, all we did was to provide the participants with some books, journals and other materials and tell them to study the subject-matter knowledge and the theoretic part of the conditional knowledge by themselves in their spare time.All the measures we have taken were proved that the school-based in-service education model is effective in improving the quality of in-service teachers, so it should be popularized in the impoverished areas of northwest China.
