Examination of the Variables that Predict the Attitudes of Teachers towards Their Profession Using the CHAID Analysis

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the independent variables that have a significant effect on the attitudes of teachers towards their profession and to reveal the order of importance of these variables. This is a relational (correlational) research since the relationship between the variables has been examined. The research was carried out with a total of 515 teachers. "Personal Information Form" and “the Attitudes towards Teaching Profession Scale” were applied to the teachers who participated in the study. Descriptive statistics, Two-Stage Clustering Analysis and CHAID Analysis were used to analyse the data collected. The majority of the teachers have a positive attitude towards the love, satisfaction and value sub-dimensions of the attitudes towards teaching profession scale. The predictor variable with the highest effect on the dimensions of love, satisfaction and value was found to be “the level of attachment felt towards the institution”. Other predictive variables with a significant effect on the dimension of love are “whether they are satisfied with the salary”, “gender”, “socioeconomic levels of schools”; the other predictive variables that have a significant effect on the dimension of satisfaction are “seniority”, “whether they are satisfied with the salary”, “gender”, “educational background”; and the other predictive variables that have a significant effect on the dimension of “value” are “educational background”, “socioeconomic levels of schools” and “gender”.
