68.019 - Research on Teacher Identity and Motivation: Mapping Challenges and Innovations

Mon, May 1, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 217 D

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Teachers’ professional identity has been recognized as a critical aspect of teacher development. However, despite the growing research on teacher identity, many questions remain unanswered: How are pre-service and in-service teachers’ identities formed, developed, and changed? How do teachers’ identities influence students’ and teachers’ classroom motivation and learning? How do various social and cultural contexts (e.g., classroom, school, community, and policy contexts) influence teacher identity? In this symposium, we will discuss various theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches to address key challenges in understanding and fostering teacher identity. By creating a space for active dialogue among different scholars, this symposium will contribute to advancing our understanding of teacher identity and to developing evidence-based frameworks for fostering effective teacher identities.
