Lehrerbild und Berufsperspektive von Lehramtsstudierenden im internationalen Ost-West-Vergleich. (Braunschweig - Sofia - Tallinn - Warschau)

Abstract

Students of education were asked by questionnaire at the universities of Braunschweig (n=185), Sofia (n=199), Tallinn (n=165) and Warsaw ( n=119) firstly about their motives to become a teacher, secondly about the image of the teacher in society. The results make clear that the general motive for the intention to become a teacher in all groups of students asked is the affection towards children. The relatively low esteem of the teacher depends on unsufficient salary much more in post-socialism countries of Eastern Europe than in the Federal Republic of Germany, where other reasons are responsible that the teacher has not a top rank image in the view of students.
