- Abstract
- Over the past years, policymakers and scholars have become increasingly interested in second career teachers. As they are seen as a solution to tackle the teacher shortage, policies have been implemented to attract and recruit second career teachers. Consequently, we observe an increase in the second career teacher population in educational systems worldwide. However, research evidence has shown that second career teachers suffer from a high attrition rate, showing that they are two times more likely to leave the profession during their first 5 years compared to first career teachers. This thesis aims to understand this attrition phenomenon by untangling second career teachers’ process of entry into technical and vocational education and training schools. The entry process is presented as shaped by two “momentums”. The first is the transition to the teaching profession and the second is the induction into this new professional role of being/becoming a teacher.
