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


Perceptions of the Quality of Pre-Service English Teacher Education

The last main motif emerging from the collected data encompasses the interviewed instructors’ perceptions of the quality of both the current teacher education system as well as the pre-service English teacher education program (for an overview of the regulations, see Chapter 3). It is important to reiterate here that all the sample members were former pre-service English teachers (see Chapter 4), as a result of which they were likely to have informed opinions of the given topics. Based on the data, the overwhelming majority of the informants had extreme views as to the extent to which the conditions set by the current initial teacher education system and the pre-service English teacher education program were favorable. That is, six of them had a strong stance on the faultiness of the system/program, while the remaining two participants were divided.

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.
