TASK 1: ANALYSING QUALITATIVE DATA

There are many reasons why different people choose teaching as a career. The findings of this research seem to agree with previous literature on why people choose to teach as a career. According to Lovett (2007) and Manuel and Hughes (2006), a huge percentage of teachers are influenced by family members being teachers. Lovett (2007), states that many teachers had family members and close relatives who were teachers. according to this research, a majority of respondents were motivated by parents who are teachers, school administrators, educators, or owners of home daycare. Some respondents were encouraged and supported by family members to become teachers.

The desire to work with children is a major determining factor, as noted by Lovett (2007) and Lai et al. (2005). In both of these studies, intrinsic motivation arising from the desire to work and relate well with kids is noted as a major motivating factor for most teachers. According to the current research, many respondents chose to teach as a career because they love children, enjoy being around kids, enjoy teaching kids, enjoy seeing children excited about learning, love special needs children, or enjoy working with students. These findings support literature by Lovett (2007) and Lai et al. (2005).

Various literature also highlights factors such as the need for employment (Flores & Niklasson, 2014; Thomson et al., 2012), good working conditions such as long holidays (Chung & Yi-Cheng, 2012; Lai et al., 2005), wanting working hours to coincide with children learning time, and remuneration rewards as major motivators for people who go into teaching. In the current research, a section of respondents chose teaching for reasons such as not being ready for the business world, need for employment, the holidays that teachers enjoy, and need for work hours to coincide with children learning hours (wanting to be home when your children are at home).

TASK 2: ANALYSING QUANTITATIVE DATA

The data provided relates to house prices in Melbourne from the year 2009 to 2014. The data shows the trends in the prices of houses in the region. The data shows a clear price increase over the years, with only a few months over the years showing slight decreases in house prices. The consumer price index in Melbourne also shows a constant increase over the years. The nominal house returns in the region also show continuous growth over the years. These findings reiterate the findings of past research and literature on the trends in housing prices in Melbourne and the larger Australia (Kohler & Van Der Merwe, 2015). According to Stapledon (2016), Australia has seen a significant rise in house prices and rent since the 1970s. Stapledon (2016) attributes this trend to factors such as financial deregulation and low-interest rates in the country.

Haylen (2014) explains that prices of houses in Australia have been steadily increasing since the 1980s, noting that household incomes have not been rising to match the increase in house prices. According to Haylen (2014) and Abelson et al. (2005), the real house prices in the country increased steadily between 1995 and 2005, with an average price increase of 15 percent annually between 2001 and 2003. This matches the data provided in the research, as house prices between 2001 and 2003, from the datasheet, increased from a median price of $280,000 in January 2001 to $380,000 in December 2003. Stapledon (2012) found that house prices in Sydney and Melbourne increased steadily from 1880 to 2011. Abelson and Chung (2005) also found that housing prices have been significantly rising from the 1970s to 2003, supporting the findings of Haylen (2014) and this research.
