Teacher Identity and Motivation: Concepts, Research Designs, and Empirical Examples

Mon, April 11, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 101

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Whereas teachers’ identity has been receiving increasing scholarly attention as an important mediator of teachers’ motivation, practice, and change, the literature is theoretically and empirically diverse and lacks comprehensive models to guide research and integrate findings. The session will include (1) an introductory review of the literature on teacher identity and motivation, and a presentation of an integrative conceptual model of teacher identity and motivation and methodological instruments for its assessment; (2) 7 posters of studies that investigated teacher identity processes in different contexts using different qualitative methodologies; and (3) facilitator-led audience participation as they consider various conceptualizations and instruments, and how these relate to the pursuit of their own research questions and areas of practice.
