Development of a Prospective Student Assessment Model based on Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (FIT-Choice)

The current recruitment system for student teacher candidates is considered too general. Measurements were only carried out on general abilities and also on the vocational field in high schools. Meanwhile, becoming a teacher certainly requires an assessment of the underlying motivation, self-values, understanding of work, and several other things. FIT-Chocie is a model of the factors that influence the choice of prospective teacher students in teacher education as their education and choose teaching as their career choice. These elements include aptitude, academic intrinsic value, failures in the workplace, employment stability, and family time, possibility of changing jobs, picture of the future as a child/adult, promoting social justice, giving back to the community, and engaging with youth and adults, previous education experience also civic social influence. This study developed an assessment model that would be used as material for consideration in selection to become prospective teachers, but at the development stage this model was tested on new students to screen students who met the criteria to become prospective teachers. Students are divided into two groups: groups that meet the criteria and also students who do not meet the criteria. As the lectures progress, the two groups of students will be measured their attitudes, behaviour, and learning outcomes.
