  • Digital innovations in teacher recruitment: An experimental study

    Open AccessRobert M Klassen, Hui Wang et al.ARTICLEComputers & Education2025

    Teacher shortages are a serious challenge in many countries, made worse by declining enrolments in initial teacher education (ITE) programs and growing competition for talented young people making career decisions. To address this challenge, we developed and tested two digital interventions—a persuasive game (TeachQuest) and a realistic job preview (RJP)—designed to enhance undergraduate students' teaching interest, teaching self-efficacy, and pe…

  • Back to Basics With Teacher Recruitment: What Do STEM Undergraduates Want

    Open AccessJ S Snell Rebecca, Robert M Klassen et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Education2025

    The recruitment of undergraduate students in England into teacher education is a recognised challenge with recruitment targets having been missed in nine of the last 10 years. The recruitment shortfalls are most acute within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. This qualitative study explores which aspects of teaching attract and deter undergraduate STEM students from entering the profession, and which aspects of the…

  • The five‐year itch: Motivational factors that influence the career decisions of early career teachers in England

    Open AccessThomas Procter‐Legg, J S Snell Rebecca et al.ARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2025References: 54

    Teacher retention in England continues to be in a state of decline, with early career teachers (ECTs) most at risk of leaving the profession.

The purpose of this paper was to explore the career‐related push and pull factors for ECTs in England. The paper also explores the way in which ECTs' experiences shape c…

    The current study provides an understanding of career‐related motivations of 16–19‐year‐olds in schools and A‐level colleges in England and Wales. The 672 participants (62% women) were asked to complete a modified version of the Motivations for Career Choice and the Persistence Research in Science and Engineering scales and provide comments on their perceptions of teaching as a career. Results showed that participants were most interested in entr…

  • Measuring the effects of motivation messages on STEM undergraduates’ interest in teaching

    Open AccessSophie Thompson‐lee, Robert M Klassen et al.ARTICLETeaching and Teacher Education2024Cited by: 1References: 11

    The need for STEM teachers in the UK is acute. This intervention study investigated the effect of motivation messages on teaching interest, self-efficacy, person-vocation (PV) fit, and enjoyment of 423 UK-based STEM undergraduates. Vignettes depicted authentic teaching scenarios evoking social utility (SU), personal utility (PU) values, and PV fit. Interest in teaching increased after exposure to the intervention (p < 0.001). SU vignettes increas…
