Email this article Motivational Factors as Predictors of Teaching Motivation Among Junior High School Teachers in the New Normal
Do Health and Safety, Readiness and Preparedness, and Support and Opportunities Predict Teaching Motivation? Objectives: The study determined the relationship of three motivational factors (Health and Safety; Readiness and Preparedness in Distance Learning; and Support and Opportunities) to the teaching motivation in the new normal of junior high school teachers. Methods: Regression analysis was used to measure the significant relationships among the three motivational factors and teaching motivation of 204 (34% male and 66% female) respondents who answered the online survey. Findings: The motivational factors such as health and safety (????=0.258; p-value=0.003) and readiness and preparedness in distance learning (????=0.217; p-value=0.024) revealed that these are significant predictors of teaching motivation. Conclusion: Even though the three motivational factors have a direct positive relationship to teachers’ level of motivation, it was revealed that the health and safety motivational factors result in the highest need of emphasis to level up a teacher's motivation to continue teaching.
Keywords: teaching motivation, teachers’ motivational factors, health and safety, distance learning, support and opportunities.
