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


Perceptions of the Formation of Pre-Service English Teachers’ Career Intention

Another emerging theme of my data analysis subsumed the interviewees’ perceptions of why Hungarian university students choose to become a pre-service English teacher, and thus, an ELT professional. The collected data indicated a unanimous agreement with reference to the role of values in the formation of students’ career intention. More specifically, two types of values could be distinguished: intrinsic values, which form an inherent part of the ELT profession, and extrinsic values, which are socially determined. This conception corresponds to Deci and Ryan’s (2000, 2008) distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. All the participants believed that both types of values had an impact on students’ career intention.

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.
