Abstract

The attitudes of preschool teachers toward the teaching profession are crucial because they have a direct influence on their job satisfaction, motivation, classroom dynamics, and overall efficacy in providing quality education and fostering the development of young children. The main aim of this study was to examine the elements that preschool teachers in Vietnam view as having the most significant impact on their perspective of the teaching profession. Preschool teachers were given a survey questionnaire containing questions about subjective and objective factors that influenced their perceptions of the profession, and then given instructions on how to complete it. A sample of 347 early childhood educators from the Central Highlands of Vietnam participated in the study. The most significant finding was that a majority of preschool teachers' perceptions for their work were significantly influenced by a variety of subjective and objective factors. Possessing a positive attitude toward the teaching profession was one of the most important factors influencing the level of professional success and the quality of teaching activities. A significant number of preschool employees began their careers without enthusiasm or passion for the field, as well as without a comprehensive comprehension of the humanistic and moral principles that guide the field.
