Abstract

For the sake of transforming the “pedagogical students craze" into "teaching craze" recently in China, it is vital to cultivate the professional identity of pedagogical students. In recent years, research in China related to the professional identity of pedagogical students was a small amount, and space to study is still considerable. Based on the mediating effect of social support, the relationship between locus of control and professional identity of pedagogical students will be explored in this study. This results showed that social support has a mediating effect between locus of control and professional identity. The results is somewhat different from the expectation that social support has mediating effect between different locus of control and professional identity of pedagogical students. In the end, this study can provide a theoretical basis for cultivating professional identity of pedagogical students.
