Abstract
A survey of trainee teachers' attitudes to teaching and to training is reported for a three-year sample of trainees at the University of New England. Retrospective attitudes to teaching indicate that only a third of intending teachers have a definite wish to teach at the time of recruitment and at the time training commences. At the conclusion of training about half plan to leave teaching as soon as possible. Sex differences in attitudes and MTAI scores are reported. The need for a training format to deal with trainee attitudes is stressed, and the unseasonability of recruitment policies is explored as an aspect of negative attitudes in trainees.
