Description
The objective of this study is to determine the potential association between teaching state, subject taught, perceived preparation given by teacher preparedness programs, and perceived support from administration and colleagues, and overall happiness of teachers and their satisfaction with the university education program they attended. We use generalized Fisher’s exact tests, two-sample t-tests, linear regression, logistic regression to accomplish this objective. State and subject have very little effect on teacher satisfaction. Teacher support systems are associated with both the way a teacher perceives they were prepared, as well as the satisfaction they experience in their career. How well a teacher feels they were is also associated with teacher satisfaction.
