Abstract

Teacher identity is shaped through an ongoing, dynamic process that integrates personal and professional dimensions over time and within specific contexts. In this context, teacher education and school climate can be regarded as two key factors influencing the development of teacher identity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-service education and school climate on the formation of teacher identity. Data were collected from 875 teachers working in Türkiye, a developing country. The research employed three measurement tools: the Teacher Identity Scale, the Teacher Perceptions Scale for Competency of Pre-Service Education and the School Climate Scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC) analyses were conducted to examine the data. The findings revealed that both pre-service education and school climate play a significant role in shaping teacher identity and are meaningful predictors of it. Additionally, a moderate and positive correlation was found between teachers’ perceptions of pre-service education, school climate and their sense of teacher identity.

职前教育和学校氛围对教师认同的作用：来自发展中国家的证据

教师身份的形成是一个持续的、动态的过程，随着时间的推移，在特定的背景下，将个人和专业维度整合在一起。在此背景下，教师教育和学校氛围可以看作是影响教师认同发展的两个关键因素。本研究旨在探讨职前教育和学校氛围对教师认同形成的影响。数据收集自在发展中国家斯里兰卡工作的875名教师。本研究采用教师认同量表、教师职前教育胜任力感知量表和学校氛围量表三种测量工具。采用结构方程模型（SEM）和Pearson积矩相关系数（PPMCC）分析对数据进行检验。研究发现，职前教育和学校氛围对教师身份认同的形成有显著影响，是教师身份认同的有意义的预测因子。此外，教师职前教育知觉、学校氛围与教师认同感之间存在中度正相关。

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
