This exploratory study examined whether pre-service teachers’ professional commitment and sense of efficacy significantly predict their perceptions of unethical teacher behaviours. Specifically, the present study aimed to uncover the factors influencing pre-service teachers’ ethical stances that potentially shape their actions regarding the challenging aspects of the teaching profession during the early phases of their career. Correlation and structural equation modelling analyses were conducted to analyse the data reliably. The results showed that pre-service teachers’ planned efforts significantly predicted the sense of efficacy in addition to their perceptions of ‘offensive and discriminative teacher behaviours’ and ‘irresponsible and dishonest teacher behaviours’. Additionally, pre-service teachers’ sense of efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between career development aspirations and perceptions of ‘irresponsible and dishonest teacher behaviours’. The results suggest that considering pre-service teachers’ professional commitment with a sense of efficacy can provide a comprehensive framework for understanding pre-service teachers’ ethical stances on unethical teacher behaviours.

职前教师的专业承诺、效能感和对教师不道德行为的看法

这项探索性研究检验了职前教师的专业承诺和效能感是否能显着预测他们对不道德教师行为的看法。具体而言，本研究旨在揭示影响职前教师道德立场的因素，这些因素可能会影响他们在职业生涯早期就教师职业的挑战性方面采取的行动。进行了相关性和结构方程建模分析以可靠地分析数据。结果表明，职前教师的计划努力除了他们对“攻击性和歧视性教师行为”以及“不负责任和不诚实的教师行为”的看法外，还显着预测了效能感。此外，职前教师的效能感显着调节了职业发展愿望与对“不负责任和不诚实的教师行为”的看法之间的关系。结果表明，将职前教师的专业承诺与效能感结合起来，可以为理解职前教师对教师不道德行为的道德立场提供一个全面的框架。
