Occupational Socialization Processes of Classroom Teachers
Öz
|
Purpose: Occupational
socialization is a process by which individuals internalize occupational
culture. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the views and
perceptions of classroom teachers regarding the efficiency of occupational
socialization periods and the level of their occupational socialization, and
to describe the same by sex and seniority variables. Research
Methods: The sample of
the study was comprised on 608 classroom teachers in service in Ankara
province. The “Occupational Socialization Period Efficiency Scale” and
“Occupational Socialization Level Scale” were developed by the researcher as
data collection tools. Findings: The classroom teachers perceived
the pre-service period as “mostly” efficient, and said period was perceived
as the most efficient compared to the other occupational socialization
periods. It was found that the classroom teachers with regard to the level of
occupational socialization had high levels of perception. It was found
as a result of multiple regression analysis that the induction period had no
significant effect on the occupational socialization levels of the teachers. Implications for Research and
Practice: The pre-service period was considered the most
effective occupational socialization period by the classroom teachers. It was
seen that classroom teachers had higher perception rates with respect to
occupational socialization levels, and that female teachers had higher
positive perception rates concerning occupational socialization levels
compared to male teachers. The reasons of intersexual professional perception
differences should be studied and precautions should be taken via activities
at the faculty education level. |
