Abstract

Fare formazione a livello scolastico può essere fonte di stress e tensione che in alcuni casi può sfociare in situazioni patologiche e portare all’abbandono della professione stessa. In letteratura il lavoro dell’insegnante è spesso accumunato allo stress tanto che viene indicato come uno dei lavori maggiormente esposti a tale fenomeno. Le fonti di stress sono molteplici. Ad esempio insegnare a studenti non motivati, far fronte al cambiamento educativo e condizioni di lavoro insoddisfacenti. Il perdurare nel tempo di queste situazioni può portare a un forte esaurimento personale e anche la percezione di un declino delle proprie capacità lavorative, accompagnati da alti livelli di stanchezza e atteggiamenti negativi nei confronti del proprio lavoro. Il presente studio, partendo da alcune risorse personali come l’autoefficacia e la speranza, analizza, su in campione di 95 insegnanti di una scuola primaria e secondaria di 1° grado, la correlazione tra queste risorse rispetto allo stress, al fine di proporre un possibile intervento di tipo psicoeducativo di supporto.
