  • Definition of wellbeing: Well-being expresses a positive emotional state, which is the result of harmony between the sum of specific environmental factors on the one hand and the personal needs and expectations of teachers on the other.

  • Goals: Identification of factors influencing and enhancing the well-being. To assess the school’s contribution to the teachers’ well-being.

  • Factors fall under three categories: related to the person, to the profession and the workplace, and to society

  • Research questions:

    1. What aspects in the classroom and at school level do teachers find relevant for their well-being?

    2. Which of them do connect with school policy and national education policy?

    3. Which perceptions correlate to general professional well-being the most?

  • Which school characteristics increase the chances of experiencing the school as a positive working environment?

  • Method:

    • Panel discussions (teachers and principals; Atlas ti computer program for analysing and coding discussion material); Questionnaire (based on the results of the panel discussions); Survey

    • Key aspects: self-efficacy, experienced pressure of work, support from principal, support from colleagues, attitude towards innovations, strong pupil centred orientation and the relationship with parents. Formal personal features: age, function, and having a permanent appointment or not.

  • Description: It evaluates “the evidence available about teacher wellbeing. It used analysis of the relevant literature and interviews with 31 stakeholders or experts to explore concepts and arguments about teacher wellbeing, conditions under which it is promoted or undermined, effectiveness of different kinds of support and the influence of teacher wellbeing on student achievement. It also examined the ways in which teachers’ work-related “wellbeing” has been construed. The basic framework for the analysis looked at evidence relating to nine elements that have been considered to be possible influences on, or effects of, wellbeing: demands on teachers, locus of control over their work, support for them, impact of change, clarity of role, demographic influences, comparisons with other groups, interventions and the relationship of teacher wellbeing with student achievement”.

  • Description:

    • As the first step in our study of foreign language teacher wellbeing, we provide an overview of literature on burnout and wellbeing, together with an analysis of the distinctiveness of foreign language (henceforward FL) teachers.

    • Previous work on in-service teacher training and wellbeing will be also reported, since they form the starting point of our theoretical framework.

    • We offer a review of the experimental studies that have served as the basis for the devisal of our methodological approach, which entails a combination of qualitative and quantitative instruments, namely narrative analysis, discussion groups, interviews, and questionnaires.
