Abstract

The success of early childhood education in rural areas cannot be separated from teacher resilience. The research aims to explore scientific insights into the urgency, influencing factors and efforts to increase the resilience of early childhood teachers in rural areas. The study used the Systematic Literature Review method by applying the PRISMA Protocol (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. The results show that early childhood teachers' resilience is needed to support their critical role in providing quality early childhood education amid unique challenges such as limited resources and isolation. Factors that are at the core of teacher resilience include emotion regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and "reaching out". Efforts to increase their resilience include a range of strategies, including providing adequate support networks, professional development opportunities, and access to mental health resources. By addressing these influencing factors and implementing targeted interventions, we can empower early childhood teachers in rural areas to effectively meet challenges and maintain high-quality teaching practices for rural children.
