“…This study extends existing research on teacher retention, which has identified both individual and contextual factors related to longevity in the field (Rinke, 2008). Individual characteristics, including demographic factors like age, race, socioeconomic status, marital status, geography, and number of children as well as the personal factors of education level, academic ability, and individual characteristics, have been shown to matter for teacher retention (Boe, Bobbitt, Cook, Whitener, & Weber, 1997;Boyd, Lankford, Loeb, & Wyckoff, 2005;Dworkin, 1980;Heyns, 1988;Vance & Schlechty, 1982).…”

“…Much of the existing literature on teacher retention treats career decision making not as a process but as an outcome, identifying a variety of individual and contextual factors predictive of attrition or retention decisions (Billingsley, 1993;Gold, 1996;Rinke, 2008). Some studies take an alternate approach, following teachers' career moves over time and allowing the complexities of decision making to emerge.…”

This article reports on a research study investigating the career decisionmaking processes of urban science teachers as one element central to understanding the high rates of attrition in the field. Using a longitudinal, prospective, context-and subjectspecific approach, this study followed the career decisions of case study teachers over a period of 12 months. All eight of the case study teachers envisioned themselves eventually moving out of classroom teaching positions. Each used an ongoing and active process of decision making to evaluate their professional direction and sought confirmation of their contribution to the field before moving into new roles and responsibilities. This article describes the experiences of several teachers who exemplify these decision-making processes. These cases suggest potential benefits for differentiated roles, professional mentoring, and recognition and feedback from professional communities.

“…Beyond the monetary cost there are lost educational opportunities for students who could have been exposed to a more effective teaching and reached better learning outcomes. Finally, there is the emotional cost for young children who see their teachers leave and be replaced every year (e.g., Rinke, 2008). In short, teacher attrition has led to overstretched school budgets and millions of students being denied the right to learn with more experienced and effective teachers.…”

“…Teachers who leave also tend to report working in underresourced schools serving low-income minorities, where leaders are not effective and do not offer adequate instructional support (Borman & Dowling, 2008;Rinke, 2008). Furthermore, teacher attrition is also related to low compensation and teachers' high academic ability as demonstrated in SAT or ACT scores (Borman & Dowling, 2008;Murnane, 1991).…”

“…In academic institutions Academic Search Premier and ERIC are considered two of the most prominent databases and have been mostly utilized by other researchers as the means for executing literature searches (Hew & Brush, 2007;Rinke, 2008;Luppicini, 2007). These databases were searched for articles published from period October 7, 2000 until October 7, 2013.…”

Knowledge sharing is critical element for intellectual discourses. However, knowledge sharing is a demanding task that takes time and effort and requires students to be persistent and willing to interact with each other. Recognizing factors that impact knowledge sharing in learning communities is critical. This paper reviews the current literature on knowledge-sharing among students in learning environments, discusses possible factors affecting knowledge sharing behavior among students, and provides future research opportunities. A search of the literature was performed across the ERIC and Academic Search Premier. Empirical studies were included for review if they specifically examined the impact of possible sets of factors on knowledge sharing in learning environments. Key features of articles were classified at the four areas of emphasis: theoretical framework, context of the study, predictive variables, and conceptualization of knowledge sharing and its dimensions. This classification provides a means for educators, instructional designers and curriculums developers to identify key factors involved in successful knowledge sharing process. However, given the limited number of studies currently available, further research is required to establish clear conclusion and recommendation.
