Abstract

Teacher attrition is a widely recognised problem in music education, having received increasing attention amongst preservice music student teachers over the past few decades. Yet, factors influencing their career intention remain to be fully explored. This study aimed to examine the roles of demographics, personality traits, and motivations in preservice music student teachers’ intention to become music teachers through an integrated psychological decision model. Survey data were collected from 243 preservice music student teachers and analysed using structural equation modelling. The results showed that the integrated model could explain 71% of participants’ career intention. Personality traits exhibited indirect effects through the mediating roles of intrinsic, extrinsic, and social motivations. While all motivations yielded direct effects on career intention, internship experience had a negative impact. The findings provide new insights to develop effective strategies to channel career intention amongst preservice music student teachers for different stakeholders.

职前音乐师范生成为音乐教师职业意向的前因:人口统计学、人格特质和动机的作用

教师流失是音乐教育中一个普遍存在的问题，在过去的几十年里，在职前音乐学生教师中得到了越来越多的关注。然而，影响大学生职业意向的因素还有待进一步研究。摘要本研究旨在透过综合心理决策模型，探讨人口统计学、人格特质和动机在职前音乐师范生教师成为音乐教师意向中的作用。采用结构方程模型对243名职前音乐见习教师的调查数据进行分析。结果表明，综合模型可以解释71%的被试职业意向。人格特质通过内在动机、外在动机和社会动机的中介作用表现出间接影响。虽然所有动机都对职业意向有直接影响，但实习经历对职业意向有负向影响。本研究结果为制定有效的策略来引导职前音乐见习教师的职业意向提供了新的见解。
