This article focuses on aspects of how a group of adult tradespeople, while becoming secondary school teachers, coped with a challenge to their prior occupational self-identity. Immediately upon entering a teachers' college and beginning teaching as part of an internship model of teacher education, they perceived that as far as the credentialling authority was concerned, becoming a teacher meant discarding the idea that they were tradespersons. Initially this created a feeling of astonishment and shock followed by anger and anxiety, then denial of the challenge. Their expectation of the teaching role (narrow vocationalism) was under question, an uneasy and reluctant acceptance followed and this remained their perception for the rest of the two-year course. They sustained intense anger at the teachers' college for the duration of the course and attempted to cope as best they could. The central purpose of this article is to examine how the cohort used humour as a coping strategy when faced with a substantial threat to their occupational self-identity. |
