Abstract

Teachers' professional identity influences their decisions and behaviour
(Beijaard, Verloop, & Vermunt, 2000). Teacher education has the potential to
either challenge or maintain preservice teachers' preconceptions of their
professional identity, and teacher education should arguably develop in future
teachers a professional identity which enables them to be effective throughout
their career. This paper reports findings from interviews with 15 early-career
music teachers regarding their perceptions of their professional identity. Analysis
indicates that early-career music teachers feel a 'passion' for music and teaching
music, and view themselves as musicians, music teachers or teachers. This study
suggests that discipline specialisation has a unique impact on teachers' identity. Implications for teacher education are discussed.
