Toward an Understanding of Pre-Service English Teachers’ Motivation: The Case of Hungary


Chapter Summary

In this chapter, I have demonstrated the steps I took to ensure the quality of the results of my empirical research, and thus, the conclusions drawn from them. Concerning the design of my research project, I have argued that a combination of the qualitative and the quantitative research paradigms was the most suitable option as it could enhance the validity of my results (Dörnyei, 2007). Moreover, the scarcity of research on the motivation of Hungarian pre-service English teachers warranted an exploratory focus, for which the exploratory sequential design seemed to be the most ideal framework (Creswell, 2009, 2015; Creswell & Clark, 2011; Dörnyei, 2007).

In this monograph, the findings of a mixed-methods, multi-perspective empirical study targeting the motivation of Hungarian pre-service English teachers are presented and discussed. When it comes to the Hungarian context, the importance of the topic is indicated by issues, such as the ongoing workforce shortage in the public education sector and the latest reforming of the initial teacher education system. The present investigation sheds light on the complexity of Hungarian pre-service English teachers’ motivation, which was found to be a bipartite construct interrelated with cognitive, emotional, and social processes. It also offers insights into the motivating capacity of the undivided pre-service English teacher education program as well as the extent to which the initial teacher education system is effective with respect to its student recruitment policy. As such, this monograph might be beneficial to researchers, university instructors, mentor teachers, and educational policymakers alike.
