Originally published in 1984, the field of research on teaching had expanded dramatically in the 15 years covered by this bibliography, 1965 to 1980. The expansion had included studies conducted for many purposes. This bibliography contains relevant citations to the research which has been conducted for the purposes of increasing our understanding of the science, art and craft of teaching. The existence of research publications has been documented with relevant reference information and brief annotations; there has been no attempt to evaluate the quality of the studies. A brief perusal of the bibliography provides an indication of the range of topics addressed by these studies and also of the variety of studies within a single topic.
This volume informs our understanding of how educational settings can respond to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Teaching has always been a challenging profession but the pandemic has added unprecedented levels of demands. Much of what we know about stress and trauma in education predates the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic recedes, it seems likely that recruiting and retaining teachers, always a challenge, will become even more difficult. This could not be worse for students, who face steep losses in their academic and socio-emotional progress after more than two years of pandemic-impacted schooling. The silver lining is that scholars who study the occupational health have spent the past several years studying the effect of the pandemic on teachers, which led us to edit this volume to collected what is known and have these experts explain how we can better support teachers in the future. This book documents the many impacts of the pandemic on the teaching profession, but also leverages research to chart a path forward. Part I examines the contours of stress, with a particular emphasis on COVID-19 impacts. These contributions range from parents’ achievement worries to compassion fatigue, and, more optimistically, how teachers cope. Part II examines pandemic impacts on pre-school teachers, in both the U.S. and in Australia. Given the social distancing in place during the pandemic, pre-school students and their teachers were under unique demands, as there is no substitute for the personal connection critical at that age. It is likely that students entering elementary school in the next few years will have work to do in their social skills. Part III focuses on mentoring and stress during the pandemic. Mentoring is an important part of teacher’s professional development, but the pandemic scrambled traditional forms of mentoring as all teachers were thrown into unfamiliar online technology. The final section of this book, Part IV, includes links between teacher stress and trauma during the pandemic. Clearly, with the ongoing nature of the pandemic, it is easy to see how trauma is likely to manifest in years to come. Readers of this book will better understand teacher demands, as well as the resources teachers will need going forward. Teachers made heroic efforts during the pandemic to help their students both academically and personally. We owe to them to learn from research during the pandemic that points to the way to a healthier occupational future.
This collection of chapters presents research focused on emerging strategies, paradigms, and theories on the sources, experiences, and consequences of stress, coping, and prevention pertaining to students, teachers and administrators. Studies analyze data collected through action research, program evaluation, surveys, qualitative interviewing, auto ethnography, and mixed methods gathered from students and educators in the United States, Italy, Holland, Turkey, and Australia.
Many studies revealed that teaching was an extremely stressful professional, and that teacher stress being emotional and/or physical was an increasing problem. Therefore, the study used a quantitative survey design to investigate the main sources of stress among Lebanese elementary school teachers, and to determine whether there was a relationship between elementary teachers stressors and emotion-focused coping and whether there was a relationship between elementary teachers stressors and problem-focused coping strategies. The study involved 30 teachers who worked in a private school in Keserwen, Lebanon. Two instruments were used to conduct the study: the Teacher Stress Inventory (Fimian, 1998) and the Brief Cope (Carver, 1997). The results revealed that the main sources of stress among the participants were work-related stressors and time management. The teachers who had a B.A. did not experience more stress that those who had an M.A. Moreover, the participants who had 1-15 years of teaching experience did not face more stress that those who had 16-30 years of experience. Finally, the findings showed that the relationship between elementary teachers stressors and emotion-focused coping strategies was moderate, while the relationship between those teachers stressors and problem-focused coping strategies were weak. More specifically, the participants were not able to cope with the different types of stressors (time management, work-related stressors, and professional investment). They were only trying to cope with professional distress by using emotion-focused coping, and with discipline and motivation by using problem-focused and emotion-focused coping. It was concluded that teacher stress was not managed in the workplace. Recommendations were given.
