Abstract

By adopting ethnography, the purpose of this study was to investigate occupational socialization processes of well-established eleven Taekwondo instructors. The findings of this study were expected to provide useful and practical information among preliminary Taekwondo instructors who are pursuing their professional career in the field. Due to wide-spread of COVID-19, virtual interviews were conducted. Four stages were identified, which are as follows. First, in the interest stage, instructors became interested in pursuing profession of an instructor while they taught others. Recommendation to become an instructor from significant others was another important source of their interest in the job. Second, in the preparation stage, attending seminars was the pervasive way to prepare themselves as potential Taekwondo instructors. Third, in the adaptation stage, once they began their career as an instructor, they actively engaged in using social media, reading books to gain knowledge exchanging diverse ideas with other instructors and attending seminars in order to develop professional career. Fourth, in the growth stage, positive feed-backs on the learning experiences from students and parents made instructors proud and pleasant.
