摘要：Within the teaching field, the concept of professionalism has recently become controversial. Neo-liberalism has eroded the traditional meanings of teachers’ professionalism and teachers are grappling with an uncertain situation regarding their professional status. To end the uncertainty and resolve the controversial nature of the concept, approaching professionalism from teachers’ own perspectives has been advocated. The current study, using a qualitative research methodology, explores teachers’ perceptions of the concept and nature of professionalism. The study discovered that teachers clearly regard themselves and their profession as a classic profession and of great service to the society and this perception also guides their approach to their routine work.
