Abstract. This article discusses teachers' practical knowledge and beliefs of their profession based on reflective writings of twenty Estonian teachers.Ten novice and ten experienced teachers participated in the study. They put together their professional portfolios, which among other documents included reflective writings regarding professionalism. The teachers' writings enabled us to qualitatively analyse how they described and interpreted their teaching activities and what being a professional teacher means to them. The results showed that when speaking about the image of a professional teacher, novice teachers stressed technological teaching aspects, for instance -skills in using IT equipment. The essays by the experienced teachers included more keywords related to the development of students and stressed the teacher's role as an educator. Both novice and experienced teachers valued the pedagogical education of teachers.

“…Öztürk (2011) listed the dimensions of teacher autonomy as the planning and implementation of education, participtation in important decisions regarding education and school management, and the development of teachers' professional knowledge and proficiency. The autonomy to be granted to teachers is categorized in the related literature as the planning and implementation of education (Freidman, 1999;Pearson & Hall, 1993;Öztürk, 2012), participation in the management process (Freidman, 1999;Ingersol, 2007;Öztürk, 2012) and professional development (Steh and Pozarnik, 2005). Autonomous teachers can effectively and comprehensively reflect their own preferences and decisions onto their teaching based on students' interests and needs (Short, 1992;Pearson and Moomaw, 2005).…”

“…Autonomous teachers can effectively and comprehensively reflect their own preferences and decisions onto their teaching based on students' interests and needs (Short, 1992;Pearson and Moomaw, 2005). Moreover, autonomy refers to the ethical responsibility of teachers and the competency they acquired (Steh and Pozarnik, 2005). Teacher autonomy is associated with discipline and evaluation policies (Ayral et al, 2014) as well as with student success (Ayral et al;TEDMEM, 2015).…”

The aim of the present study was to reveal the relationship between teachers’ commitment to the curriculum and teacher autonomy. The study was conducted during the fall term of the 2020-2021 academic year by means of google forms administered to 956 students on social platforms. The data collection instruments utilized in the study were the Teacher Autonomy Scale and the Curriculum Commitment Scale. To analyze the data, descriptive analyses, correlation analysis, and MANOVA were conducted. The results of the study revealed that teachers were commited to the curriculum and displayed behaviors of autonomy. It was revealed that there was a moderate degree of correlation between teacher autonomy and commitment to the curriculum. A low level of positive relationship was identified between teachers’ commitment to the curriculum and their levels of autonomy in the curriculum, professional development, and professional communication.

These are planning and implementing instruction (Freidman, 1999;Pearson & Hall, 1993;White, 1992); participating in administrative processes (Freidman, 1999;Ingersol, 2007) and developing professional capacity and skills; that is, professional development (Šteh & Požarnik, 2005). Various models have been developed concerning the concept of teacher autonomy.…”
