INSTRUMENT OF RESEARCH ON TEACHERS' PROFESSIONAL WELL-BEING

Dear Teacher,

 

We invite you to participate in a questionnaire about teachers' Professional Well-Being. This questionnaire is part of the Teaching To Be project, which includes eight European countries. The data analysis will be conducted with all countries and aims to suggest some recommendations based on the findings of this research.

We hope this research makes a significant contribution and reinforces the dignity and credibility of teachers at an international level.

This research respects and guarantees ethical principles of anonymity and confidentiality. You should not indicate your name, school, or other information that would allow identification of you or the institution you work for.

This research is quantitative in nature and the data will be analyzed statistically.

Completing the questionnaire will take 10 to 15 minutes.
