Abstract:         Through reviewing ten years' research on the Specially Contracted Teachers Scheme, it is found that researchers have   carried out comparatively abundant research on the direct beneficiaries of the scheme, namely the specially contracted teachers. Specifically, studies have been conducted with respects to the teachers' mental health, social support, living condition, quality of life,professional identity, job burnout, professional development, professional quality, professional development, team construction and management, training and cultivation, etc.. Meanwhile, there are certain theoretical explorations and empirical studies concerning the problems in practice, the effects and counter measures of the Scheme. However, the amount of the research results is still small. There are also some blind spots in the research object, content, method and disciplinary viewpoint, and relevant research was usually publishedin low- class journals and has limited social influence. At present, we should focus on strengthening the case study,comparative study, historical study and problems study on the implementation of the Scheme.

Key words: Specially Contracted Teachers Scheme, specially contracted teachers, research results
