Abstract
IN ENGLISH: The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in motivation for choosing teaching as a profession and perceptions of men’s demotivation for the choice of this profession. 279 preservice subject teachers from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, filled in the FIT-Choice Scale (Watt & Richardson, 2007) and the Demotivation of Men for Teaching Career Choice Scale. Results revealed that, regardless of their gender, preservice subject teachers were primarily motivated by the intrinsic and social utility values of teaching, while specific gender differences imply the importance of the role of social factors in men’s choice of this career. Low status of the teaching profession was perceived as the dominant reason for demotivation of men to choose it. Women were more likely than men to assume that men are demotivated to choose teaching because it is a “women’s profession”. Policy implications of findings on men’s (de)motivation for teaching are discussed. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati rodne razlike u motivaciji za odabir nastavničke profesije i percepciju demotiviranosti muškaraca za izbor ove profesije. 279 studenata/ica završnih godina studija predmetne nastave s različitih fakulteta u Zagrebu ispunilo je FIT-Choice upitnik (Watt & Richardson, 2007) i Skalu demotiviranosti muškaraca za odabir nastavničke profesije. Rezultati su pokazali da su, neovisno o rodu, budući predmetni nastavnici/e primarno motivirani intrinzičnim i društveno korisnim vrijednostima poučavanja, dok specifične rodne razlike impliciraju važnost uloge društvenih čimbenika u odabiru ove profesije kod muškaraca. Nizak status nastavničke profesije percipiran je kao dominantan razlog demotiviranosti muškaraca da je izaberu. Žene u većoj mjeri od muškaraca smatraju da su muškarci demotivirani odabrati poučavanje jer je to ženska profesija. Raspravljene su i implikacije nalaza o (de)motiviranosti muškaraca za poučavanje za obrazovne politike.
