2. External observation: observation of the junior high and elementary school teachers in Taiwan with their professional class of generation mobile from their original family and the personal difference of the interpersonal networks, including spouses and friends.
3. Internal observation: to study the teacher's "class identity"，and the relationship between their "class identity" and "cultural orientation".
4. In order to make a more complete description about the class attributes of the junior high and elementary school teachers, this study makes a comparison in all respects above mentioned between the junior high and elementary school teachers and other class professional groups.
Based on the information from the data of Academia Sinica "Taiwan social change Survey - social class" in 1992,1997 and 2002, this study has taken from a sample of 178 junior high and elementary school teachers out of the total sample of 6,965 people. Data analysis methods include the number, percentage, a single sample t-test, the independent sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and regression analysis.
The results show that：
1. Through the theoretical analysis of Max, Webber and Wright, from the different vocational classes of the capitalists, small capital, manager/professional, workers and peasants, the junior high and elementary school teachers in Taiwan target for the professional class with professional ability of manager/professional career class.
2. When the father takes the manager/professional occupational class, the children’s opportunity of becoming the junior and elementary school teachers is higher than other three professional classes. When the father is a junior high or elementary school teacher, the children’s opportunity of becoming occupational class system is higher than most managers/professional occupational class.
3. The "class identity" and "cultural orientation" of the junior high and elementary school teachers show a considerable internal consistency, not only generally higher than most managers/professional occupational class, but also significantly higher than that of other capitalists, workers and peasants and small capital professional class.
4. The variables about the father’s background such as "the socio-economic background", "education level" and "personal network", are very important to explain the "class identity" of the junior high and elementary school teachers in Taiwan.
5. In the “cultural orientation " of the junior high and elementary school teachers, the participation of "elite culture" and "mass culture" shows a positive correlation. During the background variables about "class identity" of the junior and elementary school teachers in Taiwan, only "property achievements acknowledged" shows a negative correlation with the participation of "mass culture".
Key words: Taiwan's junior and elementary school teachers, class identity, elite culture, mass culture
