This book was released on 1996 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of the study were to modify the Pullis Inventory of Teacher Stress (PITS) for use in Taiwan and to investigate and compare the sources, effects, and coping strategies of occupational stress among the special school, special self-contained classroom, and regular classroom teachers in Taiwan. Procedures. Three groups of 10 special education teachers who were randomly selected from each population in Taiwan participated in the pilot study, whereas 60 special education teachers of the special school, 50 of the special self-contained classroom, and 40 of the regular classroom in formal study. Pilot Results. The range of reliabilities was from. 7432 to. 9531 for the whole inventory and its subscales. The validity was. 7895 for the first and second parts of the inventory. Factor analysis yielded four factors--school factor, pupil characteristics, workload issues, and career issues. Formal Results. First, the formal study showed that there were significant differences regarding the sources and the effects of occupational stress among special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Next, there was no significant difference among the coping strategies used by special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Third, there was no overall relationship between the levels of the occupational stress and the time desired to stay in the profession by special education teachers, but the relationship was significant occurred in the special self-contained class teachers. The greater the level of occupational stress, the shorter the time they desired staying in their profession. Finally, the sources, effects, and coping strategies of the occupational stress could discriminate significantly among special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Recommendations. Further research studies with a larger sample or random sampling are recommended. Second, future studies might investigate more useful coping strategies provided by the school in addition to the personal strategies that were listed on the inventory. A qualitative approach, for example, interview, besides open-ended questions might be helpful for collecting such information. Third, due to the weak classification result in the current research study, a discriminant analysis with equal group sizes and dependent variables other than source, effect, and coping strategy, for example, gender, age, or teaching equipment and materials, is recommended if further research studies hope to focus on this area. Finally, a longitudinal study would enable an in-depth examination of occupational stress. It might be helpful for understanding how special education teachers deal with their occupational stress across their career.

This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject Education - Reading Instruction, grade: 7.8, Panjab University, language: English, abstract: Occupation is one of the important parts of our daily lives which cause a great deal of stress. Due to the competitive nature of the job environment, most of the people in the world are spending their time on job related work purposes resulting in ignoring the work and life. Usually people are more worried about the outcome of their work that can even affect the way they treat other people and how they communicate with their peers. In general, we can say that people with a higher percentage of occupation stress may not be satisfied with their job and therefore they will not feel happy working in the organization. So, we can say that it is very important for teacher to realize the stress that causes all the negative effects. Today, we all are a part of globalizing era which is characterized by excellence, competitions, quality etc. along with stress, strain n human being and in a world that is changing at a tremendous pace, globalization had led to an increase in the growth of education institutions all over the world and the education scene in Zambia is no exception and especially with the current scenario of trying to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) of providing basic education for-all by 2015. To fulfill social, environmental, economical needs one has to face stress, strain and anxiety. One should accept that stress is reality of life. Thus, it should be considered as an important aspect of life without which life will become boring.

Book excerpt: This book brings together the most current thinking and research on educator stress and how education systems can support quality teachers and quality education. It adopts an occupational health perspective to examine the problem of educator stress and presents theory-driven intervention strategies to reduce stress load and support educator resilience and healthy school organizations. The book provides an international perspective on key challenges facing educators such as teacher stress, teacher retention, training effective teachers, teacher accountability, cyber-bullying in schools, and developing healthy school systems. Divided into four parts, the book starts out by introducing and defining the problem of educator stress internationally and examining educator stress in the context of school, education system, and education policy factors. Part I includes chapters on educator mental health and well-being, stress-related biological vulnerabilities, the relation of stress to teaching self-efficacy, turnover in charter schools, and the role of culture in educator stress. Part II reviews the main conceptual models that explain educator stress while applying an occupational health framework to education contexts which stresses the role of organizational factors, including work organization and work practices. It ends with a proposal of a dynamic integrative theory of educator stress, which highlights the changing nature of educator stress with time and context. Part III starts with the definition of what constitute healthy school organizations as a backdrop to the following chapters which review the application of occupational health psychology theories and intervention approaches to reducing educator stress, promoting teacher resources and developing healthy school systems. Chapters include interventions at the individual, individual-organizational interface and organizational levels. Part III ends with a chapter addressing cyber-bullying, a new challenge affecting schools and teachers. Part IV discusses the implications for research, practice and policy in education, including teacher training and development. In addition, it presents a review of methodological issues facing researchers on educator stress and identifies future trends for research on this topic, including the use of ecological momentary assessment in educator stress research. The editors’ concluding comments reflect upon the application of an occupational health perspective to advance research, practice and policy directed at reducing stress in educators, and promoting teacher and school well-being.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This empirical study aimed at examining the sources, effects, and the coping strategies of occupational stress among special educators in India. The Government policies are tailored to enhance the education of children with disabilities, but very few of these policies focus the special educators who take care of students with disabilities. These educators have largely been clubbed together with teachers of regular schools. Therefore, the issues of special educators have always been a neglected field in India. Of the 21 million disabled population of the country, 12 million are children with various disabilities, according to Census of India 2001. To meet the educational requirements of these children the country has round about 3200 registered special schools. The number of special educators in each school varies according to the student strength. And the level and nature of stress experienced by this population have hardly been the focus of study. Hence, here an attempt is made to study the nature and levels of occupational stress experienced by teachers of special schools. The geographical area of the study was two districts, Calicut and Malappuram, of the state of Kerala, South India. 35 special educators, who had more than two years of teaching experience, were randomly selected for the study from the schools in this geographical area. The methodology adopted was both quantitative and qualitative. To collect the quantitative data, the occupational Stress Indicator, developed by Cooper, et. al., (1988) was used. The Indicator evaluates occupational stress by analysing five key factors: i) Sources of stress, ii) Individual characteristics, iii) Locus of control, iv) Coping strategies, and v) Effects of stress. To collect qualitative data an unstructured personal interview was used. The quantitative results revealed that the sources of stress spread from: i) school structure and climate, ii) home/work interface, iii) relationship with other people, iv) intrinsic job factors. The common effect of stress on special educators was found to be health related problems - both physical and mental - and job dissatisfaction. There was no organised method to redress the problem rising from occupational stress. As a result, the most commonly used coping strategy were social support, task strategies, and home/school relationship. While the qualitative data confirmed the findings of the quantitative data, it pointed out some other issues, which the quantitative indicators did not cover. The sources of stress as repeatedly reported in the qualitative interviews were that of low salary - due to the subcontracting by the Government to NGO's, job insecurity, work overload, and high teacher-student ratio. The results point to the need of Government policies targeting specifically to the special educators if there has to be tangible improvements in the quality of life of the children with disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines stressors encountered by special educators, ways of coping with professional demands, and reasons why some teachers handle job stress better than others. It is intended to help special education teachers take a more objective look at what they do and identify strategies and techniques to alleviate some job-related stress and tension. Symptoms of burnout are reviewed, and a questionnaire is provided to help special educators examine behavioral patterns to determine the degree of burnout they are experiencing. The impact of stress on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of teachers is examined, and the manner in which job stress affects professional performance is addressed. Several studies that look at job stress and the special educator from a generic, nonspecific perspective are described, and then job stress of teachers of students with learning disabilities, behavioral/emotional problems, and mental deficiencies is discussed. Individual initiatives and organizational strategies for developing coalitions among school staff are offered. Ten stress management strategies are analyzed: diet and exercise, relaxation techniques, social support systems, goal setting, creative problem solving, time management, networking, self-talk, stroking, and self-given gifts. Includes 108 references. (JDD)

Book excerpt: Introduction In everyday life, working class people come across many situations where they have to cope with many situations and conditions, putting them in a lot of stress. Stress has become an inevitable part of human life in modern times. It is becoming a global phenomenon affecting all genres of people. The optimum level of occupational stress poses a risk to most organizations. “Teachers in particular not only have the stress of dealing with so many diverse children on a day to day basis; they are also entitled with educating and helping to mold these children into productive members of society. With rules, regulations, guidelines and performance expectations can induce very high levels of stress; the job can be demanding and has hardly any relief. Quite often teachers must take their work home overnight or on the weekends in order to be prepared for the next class or session on the field, or the teachers will have to score the test given to the children, in free time, which is possible only when he/she gets home. The traditional summer break that so many teachers once looked forward to, has began to reduce over the past few years, as well with most schools beginning to adopt block schedules which require yearlong school sessions with no more than nine week vacation period”(Kaur, 2011).

This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Teacher attrition is a serious issue facing school administrators today. In order to implement effective educational programs, schools need experienced teachers who are equipped to deal with such challenges. In response to increased work demands, and the challenge of educating a diverse student population, many teachers are leaving the field of education, citing stress as a primary reason for leaving. Stress factors cited most often include inadequate salaries, work overload, curriculum concerns stemming from federal, state and local mandates, lack of shared decision making and unsatisfactory relationships with stakeholders. The researcher sought to compare the stress factors experienced by teachers to determine if there is a link between gender, grade level taught, years of teaching experience and teacher perceptions of the work factors that contribute to stress. Understanding the specific factors that cause work-related stress among each group of certified teachers will provide appropriate direction in planning future professional development and induction programs to best meet the needs of all teachers. Teacher responses to a survey regarding the factors that cause or mitigate occupational stress were analyzed. A correlation study identified no differences in stress based upon years of teaching experience and an Independent T Test showed no differences in stress based on gender. An Analysis of Variance did detect a difference in the degree of teacher stress based on grade level taught. The researcher has concluded from this study that teachers exhibit a moderate degree of occupational stress. Stress is present among teachers at all levels of experience, though differences exist in stress levels based on length of service or based on gender. Differences in stress levels were identified based on grade level taught, with elementary school teachers exhibiting higher levels of stress than did middle school or high school teachers.
