Session Type: Symposium
This symposium reflects the researcher's common interest in teachers’ ongoing motivation for their profession: what drives their decisions and what motivates them in such a way that they remain challenged yet supported? The symposium will be organized around this theme and include the perspectives of teachers and teacher educators from across the globe (The Netherlands, Canada, South Africa and Australia). The main questions being considered by the four studies for the purpose of this symposium are: What role do teachers’ professional lives play in the motivation for teachers’/teacher educators knowledge development and learning over their career? And, what methodological approaches can be used to capture and represent teachers’/teacher educators’ perspectives on their professional lives? What challenges does these present?
