Perceived Stress in Relation to Pedagogy, Practice Teaching, Teaching Aids and Generic Stress among Prospective Teachers
Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between Perceived Stress and its different dimensions (pedagogy, practice teaching, teaching aids and generic stress) among prospective teachers. It is hypothesized that perspectives of perceived stress among prospective teachers are determined by stress generated teaching pedagogy, practice teaching, teaching aids and generic stress. Perceived stress and its different dimensions revealed a positive linear relationship. A quantitative approach was selected to explore this relationship. A survey was conducted with 300 prospective teachers from colleges of Education in Haryana, in order to find out the sources of stress through random sampling. Research instrument to measure perceived stress is prepared by researcher himself. By applying factor analysis on different statements related to pedagogy, practice teaching, teaching aids and generic stress, validity and reliability is determined with careful manner. Correlation and regression analyses revealed strong positive correlations between perceived stress and its predictors. Results revealed an essential significant effect of gender and marital status on perceived stress & levels of stress among prospective teachers. It is explored that female prospective teachers have reported more perceived stress and level of stress than male prospective teachers.. Married prospective teachers have high perceived stress and levels of stress as compared to those from unmarried prospective teachers. Suggestions and directions for future investigation are discussed.
