Download or read book Teacher Stress Job Performance and Self Efficacy Among Women Teachers written by Rubina Hanif and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of occupational stress, teacher stress has undoubtedly become an area of major interest to researchers throughout the world. In this era, when this problem has been recognized all over the world, it is the need of the time to identify dimensions of this problem in other parts of the world. The present research is an attempt to explore the phenomenon of teacher stress and its effects on job performance and self efficacy. The findings of this research help to extend our knowledge from west to the other countries i.e., Pakistan by shedding light on sources, manifestations, and outcomes of stress among women teachers who are relatively facing more problems at workplaces. The identification of stress in teachers may help researchers to develop some global intervention program to improve the mental health of teachers and as a consequence, job performance. The findings of this research may contribute significantly in helping to improve the role of socialization in the construction of our beliefs about our jobs and ourselves. The implications of research are many and varied, and are useful for Researchers, Educationist, Mental health Professionals, and Policy makers.
Download or read book Teacher Self efficacy Job Satisfaction and Burnout Amid the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Jaimee A. Hager and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers are consistently faced with adversity, which can affect their ability to feel efficacious in their position, causing them to experience a decrease in their job satisfaction and putting them at risk for burnout. Recently, teachers have experienced significant changes in education, as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased illnesses and forced necessary safety adaptions in the educational setting. This study is a quantitative research design. Participants included 40 elementary teachers from Isle of Wight County Schools in Virginia. Participants were provided a link or QR code to access the survey. This study used a Pearson Correlation to measure relationships between teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, burnout, and stress from the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from these statistical analyses indicated no significant relationships between teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, burnout, and stress from the pandemic, as measured by Likert-scaled surveys. The lack of significant correlations for teacher self-efficacy, burnout, and stress related to the pandemic were likely due to statistical power. Similar results for a larger sample size would have yielded results of stronger statistical significance. While results were not statistically significant, previous research indicates the need to provide teachers positive support, learning opportunities, and an encouraging atmosphere to promote a positive sense of self-efficacy and happiness in the workplace, despite unique adversities, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Download or read book Self Efficacy Beliefs of Adolescents written by Tim Urdan and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the psychological construct of self-efficacy is widely acknowledged as one of the most important developments in the history of psychology. Today, it is simply not possible to explain phenomena such as human motivation, learning, self-regulation, and accomplishment without discussing the role played by self-efficacy beliefs. In this, the fifth volume of our series on adolescence and education, we focus on the self-efficacy beliefs of adolescents. We are proud and fortunate to be able to bring together the most prominent voices in the study of self-efficacy, including that of the Father of Social Cognitive Theory and of self-efficacy, Professor Albert Bandura. It is our hope, and our expectation, that this volume will become required reading for all students and scholars in the areas of adolescence and of motivation and, of course, for all who play a pivotal role in the education and care of youth.
Download or read book Alleviating Teacher Burnout written by Katie Jo Blevins and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite increasing rates of teacher burnout, research is still unclear as to the exact triggers that eventually cause it. Two potential causes that are at the forefront of discussions regarding teacher burnout are job stress and teacher self-efficacy. Gaps in research indicate that more needs to be done to understand if there is a correlation between job stress, self-efficacy, and emotional exhaustion, a core component of burnout. Research is scant regarding stress, teacher self-efficacy, and emotional exhaustion at the middle school level even though there are a multitude of factors that can increase stress and decrease efficacy. To address research gaps this study sought to better understand the relationship between job stress, teacher self-efficacy, and emotional exhaustion middle school teachers. A correlational study was conducted using a cross-sectional survey design to identify correlations between the variables of (1) job stress, (2) teacher self-efficacy, and (3) emotional exhaustion. A sample of 75 participants was taken from two school districts in South Georgia to complete three surveys: (1) the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Educators Survey emotional exhaustion subscale, (2) a single-item stress question, and (3) the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale. Data collected from the surveys were analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The first research question pertaining to job stress and self-efficacy was statistically significant with a low to moderate negative correlation. This result indicates that as stress increased, efficacy decreased; however, efficacy remained moderately high regardless of stress level, suggesting that teachers remained resilient through the stress. Study implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

Download or read book The Effects of High stakes Testing on Reported Teacher Stress and Teacher Self efficacy written by Alejandro C. Gonzalez and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers' work-related stress and self-efficacy levels across all grades are influenced by the demands of high-stakes testing. This mixed methods study examined the relationship among assigned subject matter, teacher job-related stress, and teacher self-efficacy of high-stakes testing on teachers' perceptions of their self-efficacy and work-related stress. Quantitative data was collected via the High Stakes Testing on Self-Efficacy and Teacher Stress Survey , from a purposeful sample of 145 participants. The data from the survey was analyzed using independent t-tests to determine if there was a statistically significant mean difference between the independent variable of assigned subject matter and the dependent variables of teacher self-efficacy and teacher job-related stress. A Pearson Product Moment Correlation was also utilized to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between the two continuous variables of teacher self-efficacy and teacher work-related stress. Qualitative data were gathered through participant responses during focus group sessions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The data from this study showed that there was no significant mean difference in assigned subject matter and teacher self-efficacy. However, study results reported that there was a statistically significant mean difference between assigned subject matter and teachers' work-related stress and there was also a significant relationship between teacher work-related stress and teacher self-efficacy. Analysis of focus group interviews identified three themes that triggered teacher work-related stress: (a) lack of time, (b) modifications to local curriculum, and (c) testing of special education populations. Two themes also emerged that identified two areas that impacted teacher self-efficacy: (a) school leadership and (b) educational triage.

Download or read book Educator Stress written by Teresa Mendonça McIntyre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
