A study of occupational stress of secondary school teachers


Book Description

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.

Teachers Under Pressure


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




JOB SATISFACTION, MENTAL HEALTH AMONG TEACHER EDUCATORS- A STUDY


Book Description

All successful teaching depends upon learning; there is no point in providing entertaining, lively, and well-constructed lessons if students do not learn from them. The proof of the teaching is in learning and learning, no doubt, comes through rigorous training.The terms 'teaching' and 'training' are closely related, but not the same. The term 'training' is used to shape the habits, while the term 'teaching' is used to form habits. Teaching is a wonderful activity. It is a complex of different behavior of teachers. It plays a vital role not only in intellectual development but also in moulding the ideas, habit's attitudes, interests and values of pupils. The training includes the process of attaining various skills. But training cannot lead the human being to the higher levels of education.
