Vietnamese Pre - School Teachers’ Passion for Child Care and Education

Abstract

The study investigates preschool teachers' passion for child care and education; the impacts and correlation of passion on individual factors of teachers in activities. The findings show that Vietnamese preschool teachers have a passion at medium high level for child care and education. Particularly, positive feelings towards children and the tendency of love towards child care and education prevail over other elements of passion. Teachers' passion has a positive impact on child care and education; on teachers’ performance and job satisfaction. At the same time, teachers' individual factors are also predictive agents of the change and growth of passion for child care and education.
