Teacher identity has been studied as a broad construct, mutable and influenced by multiple factors during its development. Few investigations have addressed the factors that could explain teacher identity during Special Education teacher education. The objective is to establish the explanatory capacity of motivational and perceptual factors for career choice on teacher identity. A quantitative approach with an explanatory cross-sectional design was used. A total of 180 Special Education preservice teachers from 10 Chilean universities participated in the stud. The Fit-Choice Scale and Teacher identity measurement scale were used. The data were analyzed with Bayesian linear regression. The results show that perception factors alone could explain the behavior of teaching identity, while the joint model between motivation factors, perception factors for career choice, and sociodemographic variables such as age and having a teaching family member shows a greater explanatory capacity concerning teaching identity. It is hoped that the results of this research constitute an approximation to the explanation of the factors that influence the development of teaching identity in future Special Education teachers.
