What Makes Teaching a Long-Term Career? Insights from College English Teachers in China
Yi, Lan; Wen, Ju
Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, v49 n3 p537-539 2023
The present study examines college teachers' initial and long-term career motivations. It was found that 1) themes in teachers' reports aligned with dimensions included in the FIT-Choice framework, 2) peak moments (PMs) contributed to long-term career motivation and job satisfaction. We propose that PMs should be considered as a valid dimension to the FIT-Choice scale.
