Using the forms of interview and questionnaire, the author gives a survey on the biology teachers in the middle schools of Beihai city of Guangxi province. The investigation includes three aspects: the basic information of biology teacher; the profession quality of biology teacher; the present situation of biology teachers'profession development. The author carries on an analysis bases on the result of the investigation, and point out that there is a big gap between the profession quality structure of the nowadays biology teachers and the demand of new curriculum. That is the backward of the educational idea, the teachers'unreasonable knowledge structure, the teachers'paying more attention to the biology profession knowledge, grasping less knowledge of Pedagogics and Psychology, lacking of modern information technology knowledge, the imperfectment of the teachers'ability structure, lacking of researching ability and the controlling ability of modern educational technology and the exploring teaching and biology experiment teaching skill being badly wanted. The more serious problem is the teachers'lacking of consciousness of self-profession improvement. The investigation reveals the three aspects that confine the self-profession development of biology teachers: the traditional education idea deeply confined the development; the schools'old governing system jugulates the motivity of biology teachers'self-profession development; the single training pattern deprives the main-body status of the biology teachers'self-renewal.
