| dc.description.abstract | this mixed-method study examined the perceptions of preservice teachers about
teaching in northwestern ontario, and how these perceptions influence their decisions to
apply for teaching positions within the area through the use of a longitudinal survey
design. the purpose for this study was to explore what factors preservice teachers
utilized when deciding where to apply for teaching positions, and what the government,
universities, and school boards can do to attract teachers to northern schools. the
sample population ^=57) included 46 females and 11 males. 60% of the sample
population had never lived in a rural community; 61% had never lived in a northern
community; and 84% have never lived in an aboriginal community. the present study
found that, while many preservice teachers found thunder bay an enjoyable city in
which to live, they felt unprepared to teach in northern communities. the study also
indicated that participants felt that there was too much emphasis on aboriginal
education, to the detriment of multicultural education, as many of them planned to return
to their homes in southern ontario. the present study found that university courses had
