This study applies the theory of planned behavior to predict Bangladeshi teachers' intentions and behaviors towards private tutoring. It secured qualitative data from 18 semi-structured interviews with students, parents, and teachers. The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis procedure. The findings revealed that teachers' behavioral intentions to engage in private tutoring were influenced by their attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Unlike prior empirically-driven studies, this study makes a substantial contribution by establishing a theoretical foundation that can predict teachers' intentions and behaviors within the context of shadow schooling. Additionally, the moral and professional ramifications of tutoring practice are discussed, and suggestions are made in terms of public policy to manage those ramifications.
本研究运用计划行为理论来预测孟加拉国教师从事私人辅导的意图和行为。它通过对学生、家长和教师进行18次半结构化访谈获取了定性数据。使用主题分析程序对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明，教师从事私人辅导的行为意图受到他们的态度、主观规范和感知行为控制的影响。与先前基于实证的研究不同，本研究通过建立一个能够在影子教育背景下预测教师意图和行为的理论基础做出了重大贡献。此外，还讨论了辅导实践的道德和职业影响，并就公共政策提出了管理这些影响的建议。
