Abstract

This study investigates reasons why student teachers (66 males and 132 females) in four Eastern Caribbean teachers' training colleges (Antigua, Dominica, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines) chose teaching as a career. Results indicate the major attraction to be inter-personal in nature--"special interest in dealing with children and/or young people." Overall findings coincide neatly with similar research mounted in the United States by Jantzen (1981)
