| مستخلص: | In this qualitative study, we used possible-selves theory to explore how teachers in the northeastern US made sense of their professional identity and possible selves during the forced school shutdowns that occurred because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected data through an initial questionnaire, weekly reflections, and semi-structured interviews, and used thematic analysis to gain insights into teachers' experiences. Our findings revealed that the challenges posed by school shutdowns during the pandemic disrupted teachers' actual identities and prompted them to draw on identity-related supports and possible selves. We used quotes from our participants to illustrate how they navigated these challenges and adapted to changing circumstances. Overall, our study sheds light on how teachers shape and reshape their identities in response to challenging situations. This knowledge can be used to support teachers' identity development in times of uncertainty and change. |
