Abstract
This study searches for the effects of school culture over survival teaching practices and the teachers’ identity construction; because once student teachers face the school culture, what they believe and what they are asked to do may differ, and with this to start to construct their teachers’ identity with survival teaching bases. This study aims to analyze the effect(s) of school culture on student teachers’ survival teaching practices and thereby on their teacher identity construction. The participants of this study were two student teachers from last semester coursing practicum four; one from public school and one from private school. For data collection researches used semi structured narratives. The data was classified using color-coding. Then the narratives were divided into main categories as initial categorization. Finally, researchers wrote some interpretations. Researchers found that survival teaching actions were applied to fit in the school culture; although student teacher still held on to their beliefs, because those participants showed that they were aware and concerned about what they did, but acted in line with the school requirements in order to fit in.
