| چکیده مقاله |
| Teachers’ motivations and perceptions of teaching greatly influence their ability to motivate students. Therefore, it is of much significance to teacher trainers as well as education administrators to identify the influential factors which motivate teacher students to become teachers. The review of the related studies show that teacher students’ motivation and perceptions of teaching have not been appropriately investigated, to the best of the researcher’s knowledge. The main objective of the present study was to compare TEFL and elementary education senior and freshman teacher students’ motivations for becoming teachers. In doing so, FIT-choice scale adapted and validated by Watt and Richardson (2008) was used. The participants were 120 senior and freshman teacher students majoring in primary education. The data were submitted to appropriate descriptive statistics as well independent samples-t-tests. The results showed that there was a significant difference between senior and freshman TEFL and elementary education teacher students at Farhangian University in terms of some motivation factors and perceptions of teaching. The findings have theoretical and practical implications for teacher trainers as well as teachers. |
