Abstract: In order to investigate the impact of rural school support on teachers’ sense of efficacy, how rural school support affects teachers’ sense of efficacy, and whether there is a significant difference in the impact of different school support situations on teachers’ sense of efficacy, a study was conducted in rural schools in a region of Heilongjiang Province. The study found that: (1) there is a significant positive correlation between teacher efficacy and rural school support. (2) Rural school support and its elements have a significant independent effect on teachers’ sense of efficacy. (3) Different levels of rural school support have different impacts on teachers’ sense of efficacy, and high levels of school support have a greater impact on teachers’ sense of efficacy. In order to improve rural teachers’ sense of efficacy, rural schools need to optimize the structure of the school support system and strengthen the construction of the teacher team; secondly, they need to improve the institutional support to enhance teachers’ sense of efficacy; and thirdly, they need to pay attention to the role of professional support on teachers’ sense of efficacy. Based on this, the improvement of education quality and equity can be promoted through the enhancement of teachers’ sense of efficacy.
