Abstract | This paper investigates the reason why teachers engage in voluntary activities outside their professional work. ... The analysis uses data from a postal questionnaire of teachers in Scotland. Its main findings were that teachers were active in diverse organisations, and in diverse ways. The strongest correlates of high levels of activism were being male or being female without children, having a strong sense of personal political efficacy, being more educationally experienced (for example, holding a promoted post and having taken a post-graduate degree), and (for the more political types of activism) being more left-wing and being more in favour of civil liberties. Respondents reported that activism had contributed in various ways to improving their professionalism as teachers, the most beneficial effects coming from the more political types of action.
