Do social comparison and coping styles play a role in the development of burnout? Cross-sectional and longitudinal findings
2006
The present longitudinal research among 558 teachers focused on the role of upward comparisons (with others performing better), downward comparisons (with others performing worse), and coping styles in relation to burnout. Assessed were identification (recognizing oneself in the other) and contrast (seeing the other as a competitor) in upward and downward comparison. Cross-sectionally, downward identification and upward contrast were positively related to burnout and negatively related to a direct coping style, whereas upward identification was negatively related to burnout and positively related to a direct coping style. Downward identification was positively related to a palliative coping…
The Professional Stress of Preschool Education Teachers
2018
Zawód nauczyciela można chyba zaliczyć do profesji o dużym ryzyku utraty zdrowia – zarówno w sensie fizycznym (sfera somatyczna), jak i psychicznym. Świadczą o tym statystyki dotyczące oceny zdrowotności dość dużej zbiorowości nauczycieli. Liczne zmiany strukturalne (reformy oświaty) oraz wzrost oczekiwań zawodowych wobec nauczycieli – zwłaszcza wychowania przedszkolnego – spowodowały wyraźne nasilenie doświadczanego przez nauczycieli stresu. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest problemowi stresu w pracy zawodowej nauczyciela wychowania przedszkolnego.

The novice language teacher's guide to survival : dialogue between the new and the experienced language teacher
2017
Aloittelevat opettajat kohtaavat ammatissaan merkittävän määrän haasteita ensimmäisien työvuosien aikana (Blomberg 2009; Heikkinen et al. 2012; Laaksola 2007). Haasteita ovat muun muassa psykologiset aspektit kuten identiteetin muodostaminen ja stressi (Kyriacou 2001; Niemi 1998), sekä ulkoiset tekijät kuten opettajiin kohdistuvat ristiriitaiset odotukset ja alati muuttuva työympäristö (Luukkainen 2005; Niemi 1999). Idea tarjota tukea aloittelevalle opettajalle syntyi kirjoittajien omista kokemuksista ja keskusteluista koskien aloittelevan opettajan asemaa. Monia kollegojamme huolestutti opetusharjoittelujakson pituus, ja moni tuleva aineenopettaja koki, ettei ollut valmis kohtaamaan kielen…
Teachers’ Focus of Attention in First-grade Classrooms: Exploring Teachers Experiencing Less and More Stress Using Mobile Eye-tracking
2021
This study investigated teachers’ focus of attention and stress in first-grade classrooms. Teachers’ (n = 53) focus of attention was recorded in fall and spring with a mobile eye-tracking device, and the teachers reported stress via questionnaires. Correlation analysis was used to examine association between teacher stress (exhaustion, cynicism, and inadequacy) and focus of attention. Then, one teacher reporting more stress and one reporting less stress were selected for a case study to examine variations in their focus of attention. The results showed positive associations between teachers’ perceived inadequacy and overall focus of attention (whole eye-tracking recording) both in fall and …
