Abstract: In the process of urbanization, rural education today is undergoing changes never seen before. To know the current situation, create a better future and avoid the groundless conditions, we need to change the previous concepts and perspectives of the rural education research. Conceptually, “countryside” cannot refer to the non-urbanized settlements in the contemporary rural-urban continuum, and should be replaced by “rural areas”. Moreover, “rural education” contains more value orientation of rural life and the cultural purport of homeland; from the perspective of the nature and goals of development, rural education research should break the routine “trend of urbanism”, and should focus on the reconstruction of “rurality” with contemporary importance. Finally, we can only equate the “temporality” with modern development with the “spatiality” so as to eliminate the dominance of “temporality”.

Key words: country education, rural education, trend of urbanism, rurality, temporality, spatiality
