TOOL FOR RESEARCHING THE PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOPHYSICAL WELL-BEING OF TEACHERS (post-test)

Dear teachers,

 

We invite you to fill out a questionnaire about the professional psychophysical well-being of teachers. This is a study on everyday experiences in your professional life that you know and experience best. Your participation is essential for understanding why the situation in this area is as it is.

The questionnaire is part of the “Teaching to Be” project, which is taking place in eight European countries, making this study all the more important – we will be able to compare results and ultimately provide realistic recommendations based on evidence from research. We hope this study will significantly contribute to the enhancement of the professional reputation of teachers at the international level.

The research is based on ethical principles of strict confidentiality and anonymity; therefore, it is not necessary to mention names (both of teachers and schools) or other specific data that could reveal the identities of participating teachers and schools.

The research is quantitative: we will statistically analyze the data and make a summary.

Completing the questionnaire will take you 10-15 minutes.
