Book Description
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the factors which influenced undergraduate students in the School of Education at Oregon State University to select vocational teacher education as their major. Data were collected from 315 vocational, practical arts, and non-vocational undergraduate teacher education majors who were enrolled in teacher education professional courses during Spring Term 1983. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Discriminant analysis was used to relate group membership to selected variables. Nine unique characteristics of vocational teacher education students were identified: (1) sex; (2) total work experience; socioeconomic status in terms of (3) father's education and (4) father's occupation; influence of significant others in terms of (5) major influence of peers, (6) media, (7) non-educational personnel, and (8) relatives; and (9) grade point average during high school. The respondents tended to come from middle-class homes, to be "B" students in high school, and to work in skilled and technical occupations before enrolling in their current majors. Maturation either through aging or work experience in business, industry, or both seemed to provide career options for these subjects. The only significant others who had important influence on the selection of the subjects' major were their peers in the same vocational teacher education major. Male friends in the work place also influenced these students' career decisions. It was concluded that vocational teacher education students are identifiable on three factors. Two variables, father's occupational prestige and educational attainment, comprise one factor: socioeconomic status. The other factors are work experience related to majors and grade point average in high school. Peers seem to influence the decisions of these students to pursue careers. Other college and university students in the same majors as vocational teacher education students, as well as male friends in the labor force, either in business or industry, have significant influence on the career decisions of these subjects and, therefore, are important sources through which information about vocational teacher education programs should be disseminated to potential students.

Book Description
Over the years, careers have transformed to be flexible and changing rather than stable, life-long commitments to an organization. As such, making work meaningful, controlling the work environment, and taking the opportunity to get required training for the next job are as important as the financial advantages. Educators' careers cannot be isolated from the rest of the labor market, and these developments are expected to influence the career decisions of educators. Vocational Identity and Career Construction in Education uses career construction theory to investigate objective factors influencing career choices and paths of educators, including factors influencing vocational personality development, career counseling activities, transition from school to work, adaptation to different work environments, and meaning of work for educators. Featuring research on topics such as diagnosing career barriers, person-environment fit, and workforce adaptability, this book is designed for educational administrators, human resources theorists, students studying career-related subjects, and practitioners working in managerial positions in private and public educational organizations.

Book Description
This book identifies and surveys the major themes around ‘out-of-field teaching’, that is, teaching subjects or year levels without a specialization. This has been an issue in many countries for some time, yet until recently there has been little formal research and poor policy responses to related problems. This book arises out of collaborations between members of an international group of researchers and practitioners from Australia, Germany, Ireland, England, South Africa, Indonesia and the United States. Cross-national comparisons of ideas through case studies, descriptions of practice and research data interrogates the experiences, practices, and contexts relating to out-of-field teaching. In particular, the book considers the phenomenon of out-of-field teaching in relation to national policy contexts, local school leadership practices, professional development. The book represents an essential contribution on a highly topical issue that has implications for quality and equitable education around the globe.
