Abstract

Good teaching is obviously significant for education. There is no much definitive empirical evidence that motivational determinants of mismatched teachers keep teaching while they are also challenged by unintended consequences of being mismatched teachers. This case study sought to find out mismatched women teachers’ motivations in public secondary schools. The data were collected mainly through semi-structured interviews. All interview data were recorded, transcribed, analyzed, and divided into themes. We followed the stages including: (a) preparing, engaging and immersing ourselves with the interview data, (b) creating preliminary codes, (c) seeking out for themes and sub-themes, (d) looking over or reviewing themes, (e) classifying and identifying themes. Our recursive analysis of the data helped us to conclude three major themes and several sub-themes including interpersonal factors: supportive colleagues and family, social service factors: obligation as educators, and challenges (content knowledge, the non-availability of teaching and learning materials, low salary but not feel dejected). Recommendations and implications are also discussed.

Abstract

İyi öğretim, eğitim için açıkça önemlidir. Uyumsuz öğretmenlerin motivasyonel belirleyicilerinin öğretmeye devam ederken, aynı zamanda uyumsuz öğretmen olmanın istenmeyen sonuçlarıyla karşı karşıya kaldıklarına dair çok kesin ampirik kanıt yoktur. Bu vaka çalışması, devlet ortaokullarında uyumsuz kadın öğretmenlerin motivasyonlarını bulmaya çalıştı. Veriler çoğunlukla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Tüm görüşme verileri kaydedildi, yazıya döküldü, analiz edildi ve temalara bölündü. Aşağıdakileri içeren aşamaları takip ettik: (a) görüşme verileriyle kendimizi hazırlamak, dahil etmek ve bunlara dalmak, (b) ön kodlar oluşturmak, (c) temalar ve alt temalar aramak, (d) temalara bakmak veya gözden geçirmek, (e ) temaları sınıflandırmak ve tanımlamak. Verilerin yinelemeli analizimiz, kişilerarası faktörler dahil olmak üzere üç ana temayı ve birkaç alt temayı sonuçlandırmamıza yardımcı oldu: destekleyici meslektaşlar ve aile, sosyal hizmet faktörleri: eğitimci olarak yükümlülük ve zorluklar (içerik bilgisi, öğretim ve öğrenim materyallerinin bulunmaması , düşük maaş ama üzgün hissetmiyorum). Öneriler ve çıkarımlar da tartışılmıştır.
