Teachers' Profession and Status Perceived by Slovak Teachers in Hungary

As a complex phenomenon, Slovak ethnic education in Hungary has not been sufficiently researched yet. This also applies to the profession and status of teachers in the ethnic Slovak education system. Objective. The aim of this paper is to examine the perception of teachers' profession and status from the viewpoint of Slovak teachers working at ethnic schools in Hungary, depending on the teachers' gender and the type of school (i.e. monolingual, bilingual and schools teaching Slovak as a subject). Method. The survey was carried out in 2019 in form of a questionnaire, using a sample of 139 teachers of ethnic schools. The selection criteria were employment (acting as a teacher teaching Slovak or in Slovak) and the availability of the respondent – regardless of age, location or gender. The surveyed items were the social significance of the profession, financial recognition, legislative support of the profession, time requirements of the profession, satisfaction with the job. Results. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney U test, there were some differences between men and women in the perception of financial recognition and legislative support of the profession. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed differences between the respective school types, as far as the perception of time requirements of the profession is concerned. Conclusions. We may state that teachers perceive their position and their job content positively; however, they perceive financial recognition and legislative support as neutral, rather than positive. Limitations. A limitation of the analyses was the uneven distribution of the survey participants among the schools, as well as the gender structure of the surveyed teachers, which, however, corresponded to reality.
