The Pandemic Isn't Over: Preservice Teachers' Self-Reflexive Understandings of Identity

• In Event: Psychological Stressors due to the Pandemic

Abstract

This article explores the emotions of preservice teachers (PTs) – learning to teach in the time of COVID-19 – and how they see their teacher identity through analysis of their past, present, and possible selves. This article investigates: 1) how PTs see the COVID-19 pandemic as a student in a teacher preparation program; 2) how PTs perceive their future experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic and other crises as a teacher; and 3) how teacher educators can use information regarding emotional responses to crises as an indicator on assisting PTs during their training.
