Abstract

The study explored the role of timely promotion as a motivational factor among pre-primaryschool teachers. Two districts (1 urban affluent and 1 rural poor) were selected. Stratified purposivesampling was used in the selection of 16 schools - 08 from each district; 32 pre-primary school teachers– 04 from each school, and 08 school principals – 01 from each school. Data were collected throughinterviews, questionnaires and documentary review. Regardless of urbanicity, findings revealed that theprimary responsibility of teachers was to ensure children’s holistic development. Achievement of thisrole solely depended on timely promotion and other motivational factors such as the involvement ofteachers in decision making, appreciation from educational officers, and good working conditions. Itrecommends that joint efforts among pre-primary education stakeholders should timely promoteteachers, pay their salary arrears, upwardly review teachers’ welfare packages, and the conditions ofservices.

Özet

Çalışma, okul öncesi öğretmenleri arasında zamanında terfinin motivasyon faktörü olarak rolünü imcelemiştir. İki bölge (1 zengin kentsel ve 1 fakir kırsal) seçilmiştir. 16 okulun seçiminde tabakalı amaçlı örnekleme kullanılarak, her iki bölgeden de 8 okul seçilmiş ve her okuldan da 4’er okul öncesi olmak üzere toplamda 32 okul öncesi öğretmeni; her okuldan 1 tane olmak üzere toplamda 8 okul müdürü seçilmiştir. Veriler, görüşmeler, anketler ve doküman incelemesi yoluyla toplanmıştır. Şehir merkezinden bağımsız olarak, bulgular öğretmenlerin birincil sorumluluğunun çocukların bütünsel gelişimini sağlamak olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu rolün kazanılması yalnızca zamanında terfi ve öğretmenlerin karar alma sürecine dahil olma, eğitim görevlilerinden takdir alma ve iyi çalışma koşulları gibi diğer motivasyonel faktörlere dayanmaktadır. Okul öncesi eğitim paydaşları arasındaki ortak çabaların öğretmenleri zamanında terfi etmeleri, geciktirilmiş maaşların ödemeleri, öğretmenlerin sosyal güvenlik ödeneklerinin ve hizmet koşullarını yükselecek şekilde doğru gözden geçirmeleri önerilmektedir.
