Science Teacher Turnover in Texas: Who Are They and Where Do They Go?
The teacher shortage is a very real problem in America's schools. While research has sought to describe the shortage, the science teacher labor market is oftentimes bundled with other curricula. This study aims to better understand science teachers who leave their teaching position, the reasons for their actions, and where science teachers go once they leave their position. Science teacher turnover destination was determined and disaggregated into teachers who move horizontally to another school or district and those who leave the teacher profession. For those that leave the teaching profession, workforce destination was further analyzed as well as salary changes. Findings suggest that teachers with an alternative certification are more likely to leave their teaching position, as well as teachers in rural schools. Those that are leavers have a significant wage boost and likely enter the health or higher education work force. Policy implications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Science Education publishes original articles on the latest issues and trends occurring internationally in science curriculum, instruction, learning, policy and preparation of science teachers with the aim to advance our knowledge of science education theory and practice. In addition to original articles, the journal features the following special sections: -Learning : consisting of theoretical and empirical research studies on learning of science. We invite manuscripts that investigate learning and its change and growth from various lenses, including psychological, social, cognitive, sociohistorical, and affective. Studies examining the relationship of learning to teaching, the science knowledge and practices, the learners themselves, and the contexts (social, political, physical, ideological, institutional, epistemological, and cultural) are similarly welcome. -Issues and Trends : consisting primarily of analytical, interpretive, or persuasive essays on current educational, social, or philosophical issues and trends relevant to the teaching of science. This special section particularly seeks to promote informed dialogues about current issues in science education, and carefully reasoned papers representing disparate viewpoints are welcomed. Manuscripts submitted for this section may be in the form of a position paper, a polemical piece, or a creative commentary. -Science Learning in Everyday Life : consisting of analytical, interpretative, or philosophical papers regarding learning science outside of the formal classroom. Papers should investigate experiences in settings such as community, home, the Internet, after school settings, museums, and other opportunities that develop science interest, knowledge or practices across the life span. Attention to issues and factors relating to equity in science learning are especially encouraged.. -Science Teacher Education [...]
