Indifference and lack of motivation Sample Clauses

Indifference and lack of motivation. The next important theme relates to the teachers’ indifferent attitude and their lack of motivation to collaboration. In my own observation and experience, these two factors are quite common in my teaching context because most teachers see no benefit in collaboration and receive little support and reward from school leaders. Thus, one teacher indicated, with four others contending, that their colleagues or they are not interested in collaborative activities due to different reasons such as additional work, a lack of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and being content with what they know, so they have no interest in learning anything new. One of the answers to the relevant questions from Teacher 2 from School B was the following, ‘‘It’s extra work and they don’t really want to do it’’ (Xxxx, 18.9.2021). At present, as reported by Teacher 1 from School A, her colleagues receive no financial incentives or additional professional development for participating in collaboration; they are only verbally praised. Two other teachers from Schools A and B reiterated the above. Their answers suggest that school leaders need to think of the effective methods of different forms to engage more teachers in collaborations.
