Abstract

Sense of belonging refers to a person’s identification and acceptance of a group or an environment. It is a person’s physiological and psychological needs. Teachers’ sense of professional belonging is closely related to teaching quality and students’ growth, and it is also an important factor to stabilize teachers. With the release of preschool-related policies issued by the state, parents pay more and more attention to preschool education, the enrollment rate of children increases, the number of private kindergartens rises sharply, and the proportion of private kindergarten teachers becomes larger. In this study, 245 teachers from private kindergartens in Chongqing were investigated by questionnaire. It is found that the sense of professional belonging of private kindergarten teachers in Chongqing is generally in the upper-middle position, showing significant differences in gender, age, educational background and so on. The sense of professional belonging of private kindergarten teachers in Chongqing is mainly affected by salary, professional identity and teacher management. Therefore, in this paper, suggestions to improve the sense of professional belonging of private kindergarten teachers in Chongqing are put forward from three levels of government, private kindergartens and kindergarten teachers.
