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


The Students’ Perspective – A Deductive Approach: Results and Discussion of Study 3

In this chapter, I present and discuss the results from the quantitative phase of my inquiry, namely, Study 3. This part of my research had three underlying aims. More specifically, I sought to (a) identify constructs pertaining to Hungarian pre-service English teachers’ choice motivation and executive motivation, (b) describe Hungarian pre-service English teachers’ motivational profile in terms of the identified constructs, and (c) detect relationships between the identified constructs. It is these research aims that serve as the organizing principle for the present chapter.

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.
