Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

The aim of this scoping review was to examine contemporary empirical literature in order to identify factors that influence someone to choose teaching as a first career. The review also aimed to ascertain whether there were any differences between demographic groups. The four commonly recognised purposes of scoping reviews directly align with these aims, namely: to examine the extent, nature and range of research activity on a particular topic or question; to determine the value of undertaking a full systematic review; to summarise and disseminate research findings; and, to identify gaps in the existing research (Arksey & O'Malley, 2005).
