How the intersection of teachers' professional identity and professional socialisation affects ECTs career intentions and aspirations

Lead Research Organisation: University of Nottingham
Department Name: Sch of Education

Abstract

The research has three objectives:
1. To explore ECT's reasons for becoming a teacher, and their different experiences of being socialised into the teaching profession.
2. To understand how ECTs 'make sense' of their own professional identity as teachers and how they conceive of teaching as a profession.
3. To identify the career trajectories of ECTs, and how such teachers conceive of the notion of 'career'.
