摘要

本研究探讨了班主任教师如何在其工作和职业身份中构建有意义性,以及这种有意义性如何帮助他们解释和应对公众对其职业的批评。我们的研究依赖于对 95 名在以色列小学、初中和高中工作的教师进行的访谈,并借鉴了辨证身份工作的理论视角。我们认为,有意义是班主任身份认同的核心。因此,当面对质疑其工作意义的公众批评时,教师的职业认同感就会受到威胁。值得注意的是,这种身份威胁具有性别特征,因为教师通过 "保姆 "这一性别刻板印象来理解公众批评。此外,女教师比男教师更容易受到来自家庭成员和朋友的批评。我们确定了教师在面对这种身份威胁时所采取的身份工作补救策略。

‘We are not babysitters’: Meaningfulness and meaninglessness in homeroom teachers' identity work
This study explores how homeroom teachers construct meaningfulness in their work and in their professional identity, and how this meaningfulness serves them as they interpret and react to public criticism of their profession. Our study relies on interviews with 95 teachers working in Israeli elementary‐, middle‐ and high schools, and draws on the theoretical lens of discursive identity work. We argue that meaningfulness is at the heart of homeroom teachers' identity. Accordingly, when faced with public criticism that questions the meaningfulness of their work, teachers experience threats to their professional identity. Notably, such identity threats are of a gendered nature, as teachers make sense of public criticism by conceptualising it through the gendered stereotype of ‘babysitting’. Furthermore, female teachers are much more likely than male teachers to face criticism from family members and friends. We identify remedial identity work strategies that teachers employ in the face of such identity threats.
