Do Different Structural Conditions between Countries Lead to Different Career Choice Motives of Future Teachers?
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This contribution presents results from the career choice motives of German, Romanian, Swedish and Californian students enrolled in teacher training programs. It compares their intrinsic, extrinsic, and pragmatic motives and presents first assumptions how structural conditions might shape the career choice motives. The countries were selected due to their differences regarding socio-economic (e.g. salary), political (e.g. the way the teacher training is structured) and cultural (e.g. the appraisal of altruistic motives) conditions. This paper presents the full quantitative analysis of the aforementioned countries for the first time and draws connections with specific structural conditions. The subsequent steps of the project will use qualitative methods to enhance the understanding of the quantitative differences.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a methodological solution to a main challenge quantitative research has to meet: The construction of measurement equivalence. Using an international research project investigating future teachers’ career choice motives, the paper demonstrates a validation approach for scales obtained from confirmatory factor analysis across countries. Measurement invariance analyses provide information on whether cross-country differences result from cultural bias, misconceptions or mistranslations during the construction of the instrument. Thus, the methodological approach helps to ensure the validity of quantitative transnational research by incorporating the demand for comparability into the instrument. The results show country specific differences among future teachers’ career choice motives that can be linked to different political and social framework conditions, including the appreciation of altruistic motives, working conditions or the universities’ content structure of their teacher training programs.

The Relationship Between Student Teachers’ Career Choice Motives and Stress-Inducing Thoughts : A Tentative Cross-Cultural Model
- 2020

Ingår i: SAGE Open. - : SAGE Publications. - 2158-2440. ; 10:2, s. 1-18
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study compares student teachers’ career choice motives and their relationship with stress-inducing thoughts across five European countries. A previously established factorial structure for career choice motives embedded within self-determination theory was supported. The factors consist of intrinsic motives, such as interest in educational work with children, and extrinsic motives, such as financial security. Furthermore, differences in the importance of these factors in choosing the teaching profession across countries were found. Results further revealed evidence for a link between extrinsic motives and stress-inducing cognitions. Conclusions and implications for teaching practice are discussed.
