Abstract

This study explores teacher professional identity (TPI) of novice English teachers in Indonesia by looking at their narratives related to their experiences before and after they entered the profession. The central question leading this inquiry is “What realizations about the profession shape the participants’ TPI?” The data were collected from four participants through emails and follow-up interviews by phone. The data, then, were co-constructed to create coherent narratives of the four novice teachers. Further analysis was conducted by identifying their new realizations and awareness of being English teachers. These realizations about teaching and the profession were discussed in terms of the TPI elements. The findings indicate that realizations about various aspects of TPI of the novice teachers could lead to a better understanding of their professional identity formation before entering the profession, after entering the profession, and at the time of COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021). The TPI claims in the three stages indicate the complex process of TPI formation and the implications of the process can be the foundation of English teacher education and professional development reform.

Abstract

Decisions and problems are two common things that are faced by novice English teachers in their transition time from being university students to a professional career as teachers. Decisions that are made and problems that are faced by novice English teachers might reveal how their professional identity is formed. This study is intended to explore how the stories that novice English teachers tell or share regarding their decisions in entering the career and the problems that they face form their professional identity. The participants in this narrative inquiry study were 4 novice English teachers who graduated from the English department, took part in teaching practice, and have been teaching for less than five years in schools after their graduation. The data of this study were in the form of narratives which were collected from the participants through the written and telephone interviews. The narratives were analyzed using thematic analysis and the identities were classified based on Karaolis and Philippou’s (2019) elements of professional identity. The findings show that decisions that were made by the novice English teachers formed their professional identity in four stages. They are before entering teaching, early stage, after a while in the profession, and current stage. The identities that are formed are in terms of their self-esteem, self-efficacy, professional commitment, job satisfaction, work motivation, task orientation, and future perspective. The identities are formed both in positive and negative ways. Furthermore, the problems that they faced formed their professional identity in terms of their self-esteem, self-efficacy, professional commitment, job satisfaction, and task orientation in positive and negative ways.
