Today's teachers: An examination of the decision to remain in teaching and its implications for change in teaching practice

The research hypotheses suggested that teacher work preferences and perceptions would differ with respect to commitment to teaching. It was proposed that gender, academic ability, and self-reports of teaching performance might also contribute to the decision to remain in or to leave teaching. Teacher perception of the work of teachers was the only variable shown to vary significantly with respect to commitment to teaching.
