Investigation of Preschool Teachers’ Attitude towards the Teaching Profession

Abstract

One's perspective on a chosen line of work is the most important factor that affects the caliber of one’s professional activities and the degree to which success is achieved in the career. If someone has a positive attitude toward the work that they do, they will be more motivated to work harder at their job and complete their tasks in a timely manner. Preschool education is the first stage of formal instruction that a child might complete as part of its participation in the national education system. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance for preschool instructors to keep a positive attitude toward the field in which they are working. Preschool teaching is a very important job. The purpose of this study is to analyze the perspective that pre-school teachers in Vietnam have towards the field in which they work. The authors of the study carried out a survey in the Central Highlands, asking preschool teachers to rate themselves on one of three separate scales, whereas school administrators rated themselves on just one scale. 347 preschool teachers and 18 managers from establishments that employ preschool instructors participated in the study. Despite the challenging socio-economic conditions, the vast majority of the preschool instructors who took part in the research were found to have a positive attitude about their work. This was the case even if they were working in low-income areas.

Educational administrators’ perceptions of influential factors in cultivating and enhancing professional competencies among preschool teachers in the Southeastern region of Vietnam

“…Such proactive engagement is integral to navigating the ever-changing landscape of early childhood education. Vu et al (2022) discovered that a positive attitude toward the teaching profession was one of the most influential factors on professional performance and the caliber of teaching activities. Significant numbers of preschool employees started their careers without enthusiasm or passion for the field, as well as without an in-depth understanding of the humanistic and moral principles that govern the field (Vu et al, 2022).…”

Investigation of factors affecting preschool teachers’ attitudes towards teaching profession in Vietnam

“…In recent years, various psychologists have devoted a significant amount of attention to the attitudes of workers toward their occupation. On the other hand, research has been undertaken in Vietnam on the attitudes of preschool instructors toward their work and the factors that influence their attitudes (Vu, Vu, Mai, & Lam, 2022). Despite severe socioeconomic situations, they discovered that the majority of preschool instructors in Vietnam's Central Highlands provinces maintain a positive attitude toward their work.…”
