A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF TEACHING PROFESSION ATTITUDES

SMRITI NAGI

Abstract

To establish an effective educational system, it is essential to examine the current professional attitudes of teachers. A variety of studies have investigated the professional demeanour of both current and future educators. The investigator gained valuable insights from reviewing these studies, as it provided a comprehensive understanding of similar prior work, methodologies, approaches, and the conclusions drawn from the findings. The investigator has compiled thirty studies on attitudes towards the teaching profession from a diverse array of sources, including journals, papers, theses, and others. A total of eleven studies were analysed. The study examined the attitudes of teachers across elementary, secondary and higher education, including those aiming to teach at the professional college level. Various factors were considered, such as gender, age, stream, location, institution management, years of experience, academic qualifications, adjustment and job satisfaction. Studies indicate that most current and future educators maintain an optimistic perspective on the teaching profession. The study revealed that various factors, including age, sex, stream, years of experience, institution management, academic qualifications, and additional variables, significantly impact the development of teachers' professional attitudes.
