| Summary: | The purpose of the current study is to identify the predictive ability of Big
Five Personality on the motivational orientation states in Self Determination Theory
(SDT) among the pre-service teachers in the Malaysian Teacher Education Institutes
(Institut Pendidikan Guru, IPGs). Besides, the study is interested in identifying the
best Big Five personality factor that shows highest level of self-determination as well
as the best personality model to explain self-determination among the pre-service
teachers in the IPGs. The rationales of this study are observed from two different
perspectives, which are the situational and literatures from both the international and
Malaysian contexts. It is clear from both the current practice and the literatures that
further research is needed to delve deeper into the understanding of motivations from
the perspective of Self Determination Theory (SDT), especially among Malaysian
pre-service teachers. Literatures have demonstrated the vital roles motivational
orientation states and personality have in the education field. Data for this study is
collected using survey questionnaire, utilizing the General Causality Orientations
Scale (GCOS) and the NEO Five Factor Inventory 3 (NEO FFI 3). The pre-service
teachers are selected through stratified and cluster sampling from the 27 IPGs in
Malaysia. |
