Teacher job satisfaction has been shown to impact teacher retention, attrition and absenteeism (Perrachione, Rosser, & Peterson, 2008). Given the significant investment of resources required to train effective classroom teachers, retention of those teachers is important. Research strongly supports the connection between personality traits and occupational related outcomes such as work performance, career success, and job satisfaction across occupational groups. Developing an understanding of the personality profile of satisfied teachers as a whole, as well as by teaching area, could serve to better equip teachers for the reality of teaching, potentially having the ability to increase job satisfaction. The purposes of this study were to investigate the similarities and differences of personality traits within teacher groups, as well as examine the effects of personality on job satisfaction for teachers, through a longitudinal study using analysis of covariance and multiple regression. When differences attributable to gender were controlled, two groups within the teacher sample emerged. Math, science, and physical education teachers were more resolute, analytical and investigative, where as elementary, secondary English and history, and special education teachers were more open-minded and sensitive. Among the traits distinctive of the teacher occupational type as a whole, teacher groups in this sample were generally extraverted, warm, energetic, dutiful, and patient. Having an accurate understanding of the personality traits that may influence teacher satisfaction could serve to inform teacher preparation programs and best practices in leadership for in-service teachers, potentially having the ability to increase job satisfaction.

There were four major findings: 1) pre-service teachers who had more creativity-related behavior experiences were likely to use more creativity-fostering teaching styles; 2) pre-service teachers who had higher scores on the openness personality trait were likely to use more creativity-fostering teaching styles 3) pre-service teachers who had more creativity-related behavior experiences were likely to use more creativity-fostering teaching styles; and finally, 4) pre-service teachers' creative behavior/activity experiences fully and partially mediated the relationship between the openness trait and creativity-fostering teacher behaviors. Additional findings indicated that senior and master's degree students had higher scores on creative personality trait and creativity-fostering behavior than junior students. White/Caucasian pre-service teachers had higher scores on the extraversion personality trait than other ethnicity pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers who prefer to teach younger children had higher scores on creative personality trait than pre-service teachers who prefer to teach older children. These findings will enable researchers and practitioners to anticipate teaching behaviors that are likely to lead to positive outcomes with regard to young children's creative behavior.

The purpose of this study was to detect Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers' perceptions of giftedness and factors affecting their referral decisions through eleven profiles (scenarios) originally created by five experts in the field of gifted education and semi-structured interview questions created for this study. The original profiles were translated from English to Turkish and adapted to be more relevant to Turkish culture. These profiles were named as Student Profiles Survey in this study. The profiles were varied based on characteristics embedded in each profile and I was able to create eight versions (pile) of the Student Profiles Survey. Profiles in each version (pile) of Student Profiles Survey differed from each other based on the characteristics embedded in each profile. Participants of the study were Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers who were attending two colleges of Education at Gaziantep University, namely Gaziantep College of Education and Nizip College of Education. A total of 204 Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers participated in the study and filled out the different versions of Student Profiles Survey. Approximately 25 pre-service teachers filled out each version of Student Profiles Survey. In addition, 16 of the pre-service teachers were asked for a follow-up interview. The convergent parallel mixed-methods design was used to shed light on the research questions. The findings from quantitative and qualitative analyses were combined to support each other and to better investigate Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers' perceptions of giftedness and factors affecting their referral decisions. The results of this study indicated that Profile 11 was the most appropriate and Profile 4 was the least appropriate profile for Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers' perceptions of giftedness. Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers explained their reasons for including the students in the profiles to gifted education programs mostly based on the personal, academic, and social characteristics of the students embedded in the profiles but they did not often referred students' characteristics when they were explaining their reasons for exclusion. Rather than explaining their reasons based on characteristics of the students, Turkish pre-service teachers increased their expectations and created excuses to underestimate the potentials of the students in the profiles when they were asked to explain their reasons for exclusion. The results of factorial ANOVAs indicated that Turkish pre-service elementary school teachers' referral decisions were influenced by the following factors: Students’ and pre-service teachers’ gender, students' ability areas, personality traits of the students, words describing the student, and students' length of passion.

This book is meant for pre-service teachers, teacher-educators, instructional designers and anyone associated with the field of teaching and learning. It purports to examine and compare the learning styles and personality types of student-teachers from science and humanities streams and investigate into the relationship between academic achievement and variables of learning styles and personality types. Teacher-education courses are designed to prepare professionals for employment in educational institutes. It is crucial that faculty within teacher education programs continually prepare pupil teachers to meet educational needs of diverse population of learners while delivering quality instructions that are commensurate with their personality and learning preferences. This volume thus emphasizes on the need for educators to recognize the importance of individual differences that may influence effective learning and refine their instructional styles to achieve learning outcomes in terms of academic achievement of learners.

This thought-provoking volume confronts the expected tension between care and justice as moral orientations. These original essays, by renowned educators, reveal how these two moral orientations can work together to produce wiser and more practical policies and practices. The authors explore problems at every level of education and tackle tough questions in theory, practice, and policy making. Using real-life examples, they illustrate the great value of theoretical collaboration, instead of competing with each other, justice and care should complement each other in both moral theory and practice.

This book brings together recent research on interpersonal relationships in education from a variety of perspectives including research from Europe, North America and Australia. The work clearly demonstrates that positive teacher-student relationships can contribute to student learning in classrooms of various types. Productive learning environments are characterized by supportive and warm interactions throughout the class: teacher-student and student-student. Similarly, at the school level, teacher learning thrives when there are positive and mentoring interrelationships among professional colleagues. Work on this book began with a series of formative presentations at the second International Conference on Interpersonal Relationships in Education (ICIRE 2012) held in Vancouver, Canada, an event that included among others, keynote addresses by David Berliner, Andrew Martin and Mieke Brekelmans. Further collaboration and peer review by the editorial team resulted in the collection of original research that this book comprises. The volume (while eclectic) demonstrates how constructive learning environment relationships can be developed and sustained in a variety of settings. Chapter contributions come from a range of fields including educational and social psychology, teacher and school effectiveness research, communication and language studies, and a variety of related fields. Together, they cover the important influence of the relationships of teachers with individual students, relationships among peers, and the relationships between teachers and their professional colleagues.

Motivation Theory And Practice For Preservice Teachers written by M. Kay Alderman and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1985 with Achievement motivation categories.

The authors in this volume propose expanding the topic of motivation in the preservice teacher education program by including contemporary research. Margaret W. Cohen reviews a body of research and theory concerned with the effects of extrinsic reinforcers on intrinsic motivation. She notes that contemporary research in the area of intrinsic motivation has consistently demonstrated that extrinsic reinforcers may undermine rather than facilitate performance on and interest in activities that are intrinsically motivating. Carole Ames addresses the implications of attribution theory for the teacher preparation curriculum. She believes it is important for teacher educators to help preservice teachers understand the positive and negative effects of types of classroom structure and evaluation on attribution. Dale H. Schunk suggests that social comparison is an inherent factor in every classroom and can have positive or negative motivation effects. M. Kay Alderman suggests that the preservice component in motivation should provide the preservice teacher with a repertoire of motivation-linked strategies, such as goal-setting, in order to facilitate learning and to educate students with high-achievement patterns of thought and action. Drawing from research on teacher effectiveness and decision making, Mary Rohrkemper argues that if preservice teachers are to be adequately prepared, they need concrete skills that will enable them to observe motivation, diagnose the need for motivational strategies, and assess the effectiveness of strategy implementation. Bibliographies accompany each of the articles. (JD)

The question of what makes a good teacher has been asked by practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. Teachers are important drivers of student success in the immediate term, such as academic success. Nowadays, the education process is influenced by various factors which can all have a strong effect on the quality of teaching and learning. Having the intention to create high-quality teaching and learning, it is very important to clearly determine what those factors are, and what kind of effect they have on the education process. Different teacher characteristics and competencies have been distinguished in the literature as being relevant predictors of their instructional quality. Even though educational psychology has emphasized the significance of the personality role in the education process, the empirical evidence on the relationship between teacher characteristics and instructional quality is not yet conclusive. Certainly, there is much more to find out.
