Abstract
The purpose of this study is to search for factors of transition of aspiration for teaching profession in case of faculty of education. Subjects were 188 4th grade undergraduates. The subjects were devided into four groups in terms of state of aspiration for teaching profession at the time when they entered the college and when they made the final decision (June in their 4th grade). The groups were (a)consistent aspiration, (b)ceasing from aspiration, (c)change to aspiration, and (d)consistent non-aspiration. Group(a) and (b) were compared, and group(c) and (d) were also compared. The main results were follows. 1. Group(a) showed a tendency to have expected the intrinsic role of college at the time of thier entrance into college than (b). 2. Group(a) had a tendency to have a model image of an ideal teacher until they entered the college than (b). 3. Student-teaching experience was very closely related to the final state of their aspiration. 4. Group(b) showed more rate of having gotten not only negative but positive image of teacher's job from lecturers or their lecture than (a). 5. Group(a) showed more anxiety about examination of teaching profession than (b). Group(c) were the same than (d). 6. Using a kind of discrimination analysis, a group of variables which were individually related to the state of aspiration could distinct well between group(a) and (b), and between group(c) and (d).
