摘要：Designed as descriptiv e correlational survey research, this study aimed to investigate induction challenges experienced by novice teachers teaching in villages and small towns and whether those challenges differ significantly by demographic variables. The sample was determined through snowball sampling and consisted of 210 novice teachers teaching in various villages and small towns in Turkey. The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The general results revealed that the most frequently experienced induction challenges were related to workload, social status and teacher identity, relationships with principals/inspectors, and classroom management. Inferential analyses indicated that thos e challenges did not vary by age, gender, and workplace; whereas there were significant differences with respect to the educational level the participants teach at and their teaching fields .
