Book Description

Our education system has undergone a process of enormous and rapid change, and all too often teachers have found that insufficient support has been offered to help them cope with this. As a result, most teachers now find that they experience stress of one sort or another at some point during their careers. As a direct reaction to this, the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) have commissioned a comprehensive study of the issue of teacher stress. This book reports on the findings of that study, and the implications this has not only for teachers, but also for the pupils they teach. Cary Cooper and Cheryl Travers' book: * helps to identify which teachers are currently at risk of stress * explores how teacher's problems vary according to where they work, their grade, whether they are male or female and the age range they teach * suggests ways in which the problems of teachers can be helped * suggests preventative action to minimise stress and maximise educational experience

Book Description

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.
