To explore the impact of academic burden on the physical and mental health of primary school students, combined with the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report in 2018, the relationship among the development of mathematical literacy, mathematics academic burden, and the physical and mental health of primary school students is studied. First, the relationship between mathematical literacy and mathematics anxiety is analyzed, and related influencing factors and measurement methods of mathematics anxiety are introduced. A questionnaire is then designed for primary school students’ mathematical stress, and the reliability and validity of the designed questionnaire are tested. Finally, a questionnaire survey is conducted on students, parents, and teachers in the third, fourth, and fifth grades of three standardized public primary schools. The results of the questionnaire survey show that students, teachers, and parents have a general understanding of the mathematics academic burden of primary school students at this stage. A total of 70% of teachers believe that primary school students have a heavy mathematics burden; 50% of parents think that primary school students are under heavy academic stress; 70% of primary school students believe that the heavy mathematics burden leads to reduced sleep time and extracurricular activities, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of primary school students. This research provides a reference for improving the current balance between education and students’ physical and mental health in China.

“…Teachers feel different emotions when overburdened with teaching tasks and when experiencing the challenges of teaching performance evaluations [2,6]. Enjoyment can help people in maintaining their physiological health and in promoting positive emotions [105]. On the other hand, anxiety and anger can affect teachers' daily lives and work, hinder their development, and pose a major threat to their health [4].…”

Emotions, Illness Symptoms, and Job Satisfaction among Kindergarten Teachers: The Mediating Role of Emotional Exhaustion

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Kindergarten teachers’ emotions are an essential factor in their physical and psychological wellbeing. Previous studies mainly focused on the relationship between kindergarten teachers’ emotions and their students’ emotions while ignoring the important relationships between kindergarten teachers’ emotions and their own wellbeing (e.g., teachers’ health, job satisfaction, burnout). Therefore, this study explores teacher emotions as predictor variables, illness symptoms, and job satisfaction as criterion variables, and emotional exhaustion as a mediator. In total, 1997 kindergarten teachers completed the Teacher’s Emotion Scale, the Occupational Emotional Exhaustion Scale, the Illness Symptoms Scale, and the Job Satisfaction Scale. Results revealed that enjoyment negatively predicted illness symptoms and positively predicted job satisfaction via the mediating role of emotional exhaustion. The opposite relationships were found with anger, also confirming the mediating role of emotional exhaustion. Anxiety positively predicted illness symptoms, completely mediated by emotional exhaustion, but no relationship was found with job satisfaction. The function of emotions in teachers’ physical and mental health, implications for kindergartens’ research and practice, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Another study performed on 1092 representative Romanian teachers selected from the whole country shows that self-efficacy influences subjective well-being assessed in terms of happiness; moreover, the perception of self-efficacy mediates between happiness and the effect the job requirements has on the teacher's emotions, such as the pleasure to teach (Manasia et al, 2020). A similar study was carried out on 168 Romanian pre-university teachers, and it argues that teachers with a high level of subjective wellbeing have the sense of (general and professional) self-efficacy (Stănculescu, 2010).…”

“…The result shows that job satisfaction is a predictor of teacher self-efficacy and that the latter influences flourishing. The relations between TSE and subjective well-being were demonstrated in various cultural environments (Burgueño et al, 2019;Manasia et al, 2020;Stănculescu, 2010Stănculescu, , 2014. In the present study we focused on well-being in terms of flourishing operationalized as positive mental health (Keyes & Grzywacz, 2005), which includes both levels of subjective well-being and levels of psychosocial well-being (Hone et al, 2014).…”

“…Teaching is a job that requires strong self-efficacy, a feeling that is considered to be a protective barrier against the professional stress and the burnout teachers have to face (Demir, 2020;Göldağ, 2020;Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2010). Studies have shown that self-efficacy is one of the variables that well-being depends on (Burgueño et al, 2019;Klassen & Chiu, 2010;Manasia et al, 2020;Zee & Koomen, 2016).…”

A large number of studies have demonstrated the role that teacher self-efficacy plays in teaching and learning, as well as in the teacher's mental health. In this context, the article aims to analyse the relationship between teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and the state of well-being in terms of flourishing. To this aim, 180 teachers working in the pre-university public education system (Mage=42,58; 127 females and 53males) recruited probabilistically, filled in three questionnaires. The first one is Teacher self-efficacy scale (TSES -Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy), meant to assess the teachers' self-confidence regarding their ability to plan, to organize, and to carry out the activities needed to achieve educational purposes. The second one is Flourishing scale (FS -Diener et al.) and the third one is Teacher job satisfaction (TJS -Skaalvik & Skaalvik), meant to measure well-being and job satisfaction, respectively. Structural equation modeling based on the partial least square approach (PLS-SEM) was used in order to assess the relationship between variables. After ensuring the data have acceptable validity and reliability, the structural model was performed. The results show a significant correlation between job satisfaction, flourishing, and teachers' self-efficacy regarding the students' engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The model highlights teachers' self-efficacy as a mediator between job satisfaction and well-being. Therefore, job satisfaction influences teacher self-efficacy, which, in its turn, contributes to teacher flourishing. The results are analyzed and compared to those in other pieces of research.
