- Primary SchoolMy name is Ben and I’m currently studying a degree in Human Behavioural Studies. For my dissertation I’m investigating individual differences within teachers and teaching assistants, specifically looking at whether personality type and motivation type can affect their suitability for their career. As I’m sure you are aware, the education system is currently experiencing a staffing crisis. Recent studies indicate that only 33% of teachers who qualified in the last 5-years are still teaching, while 44% of current teachers and 73% of current teaching assistants are considering a career change. The overall aim of my study is to suggest that personality and motivation assessments could be used as part of the recruitment process for both teachers and teaching assistants. With the potential outcomes being improved teacher retention rates, more engaged teaching assistants, and ultimately an improved education setting for students to thrive. I’d very much appreciate it if you would take the time to complete my questionnaire (link below). https://forms.office.com/e/ts1w7zsrU2 This research is totally anonymous and confidential, and should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank-you in advance for your support with my research. Kind regards, Ben  Â
