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


Describing Hungarian Pre-Service English Teachers’ Motivational Profile in Terms of the Identified Dimensions

In the present section, I aim to describe Hungarian pre-service English teachers’ motivational profile in terms of the identified dimensions in order to be able to answer my second research question for Study 3. First, I focus on my sample by presenting the results of the descriptive statistical analysis. Then, I draw inferences to the whole population of university students in Hungary pursuing coursework in the pre-service English teacher education program by employing one-way ANOVA. Third, I identify and describe subgroups of students according to their choice motivation. Throughout the section, I also seek to make connections to the results of prior research on the motivation of pre-service English teachers and adult L2 learners/users of English conducted within the context of Hungary.

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.
