Abstract |
Working life of teachers generally includes several stressful factors and the
development of their resilience can act protectively against the daily challenges they
have to face. Student behavior problems have emerged as the most common challenge
that increases teachers' stress and threatens their resilience. The present research
evaluates general and special education teachers' knowledge of basic behavioral
principles and behavior modification, their levels of stress and resilience, and also
explores possible relationships between them. The sample consists of 114 general and
special education teachers and the tools used to collect the data are a) the "Knowledge
of Behavioral Principles as Applied to Children" test, b) the "Scale of Protective
Factors of Teachers' Resilience" and c) the "Teacher Stress Rating Scale". The results
of the survey showed low levels of knowledge in behavioral principles and behavior
modification, moderate to high levels of resilience and moderate levels of stress.
Teachers' knowledge did not appear to be related to their resilience and stress.
Regarding the relationship between resilience and stress, it emerged that the factors of
values/beliefs and the legislative framework are associated with reduced levels of
stress. Instead, surprisingly, physical well-being as well as emotional and behavioral
competence were found to be associated with increased levels of stress. On the other
hand, regarding the factors of relationships with people inside and outside the school
context, no statistically significant relationship with stress was found. Although no
statistically significant relationship was found between teachers' behavioral
knowledge and their stress and resilience, the low levels of knowledge observed
highlight the need for upgrading the undergraduate coursework programs of the
relevant university departments, the continuous specialized education and training of
teachers, as well as their support from school psychologists or other specialized personnel in behavior analysis. Also, although resilience of teachers ranges from
moderate to high levels, special education teachers seem to be more vulnerable
possibly due to difficulties they face in teaching and their professional development.
The increase in stress observed in recent years among Greek teachers can be
countered by the development of resilience derived from values/beliefs and legislative
framework, while according to teachers themselves improving working conditions,
increasing salaries and limiting substitute teachers can also significantly reduce their
stress.
