The study adopted a qualitative approach, in terms of in-depth interview and document analysis so as to collect necessary data. The subjects were two formal teacher who passed their screening tests and had two to four years of being substitute teachers. The collected data was analyzed with a typological analysis in general, and “category-content” analysis in specific. The findings were as follows. 1.There were 3 factors influencing preparation of teacher screening tests. (1) Attitude dimension: Their previous teachers had a strong impact in their career decision as a teacher. (2) Subjective norm: They needed various supports from family, friends, and study partners. (3) Perceived behavioral control: Frustrations brought them reflections of their preparations, adjustment, and resource-seeking, which showed higher degree of control on their behavioral intention. 2.Such teacher’s screening tests helped their self-fulfillment by demonstrating their teachers’ professional expertise and showed a higher behavioral intention. 3.The process of such teacher’s screening tests needed self-regulation and reflections continually so as to have new insights and positive energy. Finally, there were several recommendations for future research. |
