Abstract

Teacher professional identity (TPI) is challenging to define precisely due to its multifaceted characterisation. This research aims to examine the extent to which social support, pedagogical beliefs, and TPI are interconnected by using the quantitative method. A TPI framework model based on current literature and empirical data was tested by structural equation modelling (SEM) using a sample of 4,999 Chinese preservice teachers. The findings indicate social support and pedagogical beliefs boost TPI. Culture also strengthens the association between pedagogical beliefs and TPI. We suggest longitudinal research to assess these connections and ascertain their validity for educational practices.
