Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Area of Science:

  • Education Policy
  • Sociology of Education
  • Teacher Professional Development

Background:

  • Teacher professional identity shapes career path decisions, including school sector preferences.
  • Marketization and school choice reforms are altering teachers' professional identities.
  • Limited research exists on how teachers renegotiate professional identity during job searches in choice-laden contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how teachers negotiate and renegotiate their professional identities during the job search process.
  • To understand the impact of school choice contexts, such as charter schools, on teacher identity.
  • To examine the role of employability and job market perceptions in shaping teacher identity presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 46 teachers in San Antonio, Texas.
  • The study focused on a region with a significant charter school presence (over 25% of students).
  • Data analysis explored teachers' experiences and decision-making during their job search.

Main Results:

  • The job search serves as a critical point for teachers to evaluate and adjust their professional identity.
  • School choice contexts legitimized flexibility and fluidity in teacher professional identity, enabling movement between sectors.
  • Employability and market perceptions significantly influenced how teachers strategically presented their professional identity.

Conclusions:

  • Teachers adapt their professional identities to align with job market demands and opportunities within school choice systems.
  • The pursuit of employment can lead teachers to accept positions that may not align with their core values.
  • Findings have implications for teacher education programs and policies governing the teacher workforce.
