Teaching professionalism refers to the standards educators are expected to meet and the level of proficiency they demonstrate. It includes ethical conduct, subject knowledge, and continuous development.
Understanding teacher professionalism is key to improving education quality, especially amid growing teacher shortages. Exploring how teachers view their profession can offer valuable insights for policy aimed at supporting, retaining, and motivating educators.
