  1. Motives for in-service teachers pursuing Bachelor of Teachingprogrammes Hazidi Abdul Hamid and HamidAwang. Faculty of Education and Languages, OUM

  2. What is the SMP program and who are the SMP students. • The SarjanaMuda Pengajaran (Bachelor of Teaching) is, • Offered exclusively to learners sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. • The objective is to ensure that at least 60% primary school teachers are degree holders. Hazidi & Hamid

  3. The SMP learners are, • In-service teachers who, • Have at least 5 years teaching experience in the relevant discipline. • Qualified teachers: have teaching certificates from the Malaysian Teacher Training Colleges (not Institutes) Hazidi & Hamid

  4. What is the problem? • Our knowledge of the teachers themselves are based on their qualifications and assumptions. • To serve them better, we want to engage the learners themselves to know the better. • To know them better is to be able to serve them better. Hazidi & Hamid

  5. The method chosen • Qualitative: to know their motives, in their own words. • Open questionnaires. 4 questions only. • Analyzed using semantic mapping • Findings discussed within the Dialogic Principle framework: Continuum between notional poles of Abstract (relating to the Other as Generalized) and Concrete (relating to the Other as tangible and present). Hazidi & Hamid

  16. Discussion • These answers reveal an interesting contrast because when asked about the actual 'things' that they wish to take away from the experience, they predominantly mention items or things with tangible results: a better professional standing which of course in accompanied by better pay and others benefits, a chance to further their studies and a degree which is something they actually obtain and hold in the form of the scroll. All of these are pertinent to their relationship with their profession. • These finding seem to show that these respondents display a mix of concrete and abstract motivational drives. Further research is needed to verify and generalize these finding. Hazidi & Hamid
