Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine whether motivation for choosing a teaching profession and the perception of social support of newly-appointed childcare teachers would predict work adjustment, and to understand the mediating role of the perception of social support. Methods: The data was analyzed by using correlation, regression, and the verification of mediating effects. Results: First, there were significant correlations of active motivation and material motivation when choosing a teaching profession, perception of social support, and work adjustment. Second, active motivation and material motivation in relation to choosing a teaching profession, and the perception of social support, were the variables that could predict the work adjustment of newly-appointed teachers. Third, the social support perceived by newly-appointed teachers had partial-mediating effects on the relationship between active motivation in relation to choosing a teaching profession and work adjustment, as well as on the complete-mediating effects on the relationship between material motivation and work adjustment. Implications: The training institute should strengthen education that could foster active motivation of pre-service teachers, and daycare centers should establish a cooperative workplace culture for the psychological adjustment of newly-appointed teachers.

Online education is moving forward with more interactive environments due to the availability of new technologies. In addition, many researches have represented that interaction and high motivation are very critical factors in order to improve students' motivation and teaching effectiveness in online learning and education. Therefore, it is very meaningful for students and educators that motivation and effectiveness are observed by positive expectation and interaction satisfaction in their online counseling courses. For this study, two important instruments are used: Modified Short Forms of Instructional Materials Motivation Survey and Student Evaluation of Online Teaching Effectiveness. Results show that high expected students who are satisfied with interaction indicate higher motivation and evaluation on the online teaching effectiveness than low expected students who are not satisfied with interaction.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, grit on flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers. The study was conducted with 112 pre-service early childhood teachers of a university in City H, Gyeonggi Province. Using multiple regression analysis, the study found that the motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, and grit of pre-service early childhood teachers all had significant effects on flourishing. Among these variables, teaching personality had a relatively stronger impact compared to the other two variables. Furthermore, examining the impact of sub-factors of the motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, and grit on flourishing revealed that active and passive motives for teaching, general personality, and consistent effort influenced the flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers. This study provides foundational data for the development of programs aimed at enhancing the flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers and suggests further research on the design and verification of a program to promote flourishing through the improvement of motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, grit of pre-service early childhood teachers.

Investigating the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and their effects on affective mathematics engagement in a cultural context is critical for determining which types of motivation promote affective mathematics engagement and the relationship with cultural affordance. The investigation in the current study is comprised of two dependent studies. The results from Phase 1 indicate that attitude and emotion are better explained by extrinsic motivation, while self-acknowledgment and value are better explained by intrinsic motivation. The results of Phase 2 indicate that the Korean sample has greater extrinsic motivation, attitude, and emotion, while the U.S. sample has greater intrinsic motivation, self-acknowledgment, and value. The key outcome for this research is that disentangling cultural affordance from the emotional and cognitive structures is impossible.

This study examined the effect of simulated instruction activities based on a constructivist teaching approach on epistemological belief, science teaching efficacy belief, and teaching motivation. The RTOP (Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol) played a role to guide preservice biology teachers to obtain insights on current reformed teaching and to further practice teaching based on constructivism. The results indicated that preservice teachers changed their epistemological beliefs toward more sophisticated views, especially for 'simple knowledge'. They also improved their science teaching efficacy beliefs, both personal science teaching efficacy belief (PSTEB) and science teaching outcome expectancy (STOE). In addition, these perservice teachers decreased their scores of extrinsic teaching motivation. The Pearson correlation represented the negative relationship between personal science teaching efficacy belief (PSTEB) and extrinsic teaching motivation. After intervention, the preservice teachers mentioned inquiry, active participation and discussion as ideal science teaching methods and qualifications for science teachers.

The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of the relationship between teaching entry motivation and teaching competence by examining the role of self-encouragement as a mediator. Data were collected from 202 students at university(Dept. of Early Childhood Education) in Daejeon. The results were as follows. First, there was the significant differences in teaching competence level by self-encouragement and teaching entry motivation styles. Second, It was also found that students with intrinsic motivation conceived higher teaching competence than others. The more students self-encouraged, the higher teaching competence they conceived. Third, it was found that the self-encouragement partially mediated the relationship between intrinsic teaching entry motivation and teaching competence. Also, it was analyzed that the self-encouragement fully mediated the relationship between extrinsic teaching entry motivation and teaching competence. Finally, it is necessary to understand of the teaching entry motivation styles and of the importance of the self-encouragement.

In mobile opportunistic networks (MONs), human-carried mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones, with the capability of short range wireless communications, could form various intermittent contacts due to the mobility of humans, and then could use the contact opportunity to communicate with each other. The dynamic changes of the network topology are closely related to the human mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose a social motivation-aware mobility model for MONs, which explains the basic laws of human mobility from the psychological point of view. We analyze and model social motivations of human mobility mainly in terms of expectancy value theory and affiliation motivation. Furthermore, we introduce a new concept of geographic functional cells, which not only incorporates the influence of geographical constraints on human mobility but also simplifies the complicated configuration of simulation areas. Lastly, we validate our model by simulating three real scenarios and comparing it with reality traces and other synthetic traces. The simulation results show that our model has a better match in the performance evaluation when applying social-based forwarding protocols like BUBBULE.
