PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ MOTIVATION FOR CHOOSING TEACHING AS A CAREER: A STUDY AT TEACHER PROFESSION EDUCATION PROGRAM OF SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY.
Teacher’s motivation in teaching is a critical aspect in affecting teacher’s teaching performance in order to attain educational goals. Therefore, finding teachers who are motivated in teaching is essential. This quantitative study aims to determine whether or not the pre-service English teachers at the Teacher Profession Education Program of Sriwijaya University want to be teachers and what factors motivate their decision to pursue a career in teaching. The instruments used in this study were a simple yes/no question and the FIT-Choice Scale Questionnaire which consisted of 35 items and was measured using the 5-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel to provide the descriptive statistics and mean values for each motivating factor. The results of this study showed that all of the pre-service English teachers at the Teacher Profession Education program want to be a teacher, and the most motivating factors for them to pursue a career in teaching were desire to shape the future of children/adolescents (M=4.42), prior teaching and learning experiences (M=4.39), and desire to make social contribution (M=4.37), whereas choosing teaching as a fallback career (M=2.32) was the least motivating factor.
