Abstract

This study investigated the motives of pre-service teachers for choosing teaching as a career from one college of education in Ghana. Employing descriptive survey design, the study randomly invited 300 pre-service teachers to participate in the study. Findings from the study showed that pre-service teachers chose teaching as a profession due to their desire to shape the future of children and adolescents, prior teaching and learning experiences, to enhance social equity and perceived teaching ability. The study further showed that female preservice teachers rated job security, time for family, shape future of children and adolescents, and work with children and adolescents significantly higher than males. Also, pre-service teachers who reside in rural areas rated perceived teaching ability and intrinsic career value significantly higher than those who reside in urban areas. It is recommended that authorities at the colleges of education need to attend to excellence in teacher education and optimize support structures to promote and sustain preservice teachers’ positive teaching motivations and behaviours.

加纳教育学院的职前教师选择教学作为职业的动机

摘要

这项研究调查了职前教师从加纳的一所教育学院选择教学作为职业的动机。该研究采用描述性调查设计,随机邀请300名职前教师参加研究。研究结果表明,职前教师之所以选择教学作为职业,是因为他们渴望塑造儿童和青少年的未来,先前的教学经验,以增强社会公平性和感知的教学能力。这项研究进一步表明,女职前教师对工作安全性,家庭时间,塑造儿童和青少年的未来以及与儿童和青少年一起工作的评估明显高于男性。也,居住在农村地区的职前教师对感知的教学能力和内在职业价值的评价显着高于居住在城市地区的教师。建议教育学院的主管部门要重视师范教育,并优化支持结构,以促进和维持职前教师的积极教学动机和行为。
