Abstract
Perceptions of pre-service teachers on burnout, occupational anxiety and faculty life quality were investigated in this research. The research group consisted of 461 pre-service teachers in total studying at Afyon Kocatepe University faculty of education. “Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Form”, “Faculty Life Quality Scale” and “Occupational Anxiety Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” were used in the collection of the research data. The information on the demographic features of the participants was collected as gender, age, branch and division. Arithmetic mean and T-test were used in the analysis of the data. In the research, it was seen that the burnout levels of pre-service teachers are at moderate level, and they are centred the dimension of feeling competent. It was found that occupational anxiety is centred in appointment related anxiety. It was seen that the level of satisfaction on the quality of faculty life is at a moderate level and it is centred on the dimension of satisfaction with the teaching staff. It was found that the faculty life quality satisfaction levels of female pre-service teachers are higher than male pre-service teachers. On the other hand, the burnout and occupational anxiety levels of female pre-service teachers were found significantly higher than male pre-service teachers.
Highlights
The intense education that students receive at the faculty of education and their starting to study for KPSS [Public Personnel Selection Exam] further increase their load
It is seen in recent years that the burnout, occupational anxiety and faculty life quality of university students have been the subject of some research (e.g., Gündüz, Çapri, & Gökçakan, 2012; Cabı & Yalçınalp, 2013; Gözler, Bozgeyikli, & Avcı, 2017; Özdemir, Kılınç, Öğdem, & Er, 2013)
The scale was developed by Schaufeli, Martinez, Marques-Pinto, Salanova and Bakker (2002); and it was adapted into Turkish culture by Çapri, Gündüz and Gökçakan (2011)
Summary
The intense education that students receive at the faculty of education and their starting to study for KPSS [Public Personnel Selection Exam] further increase their load. It is known that the number of pre-service teachers at faculties of education is much higher than the current need (Özoğlu, 2010) Starting from these results, it can be expressed that pre-service teachers will be exposed to intense pressure about whether they will be appointed when they graduate in the years when they are students. Reducing these pressures may be regarded among the important duties of universities In this context, it is seen in recent years that the burnout, occupational anxiety and faculty life quality of university students have been the subject of some research (e.g., Gündüz, Çapri, & Gökçakan, 2012; Cabı & Yalçınalp, 2013; Gözler, Bozgeyikli, & Avcı, 2017; Özdemir, Kılınç, Öğdem, & Er, 2013). Certain findings can be provided on determining and improving the areas where the occupational anxiety, burnout and levels of satisfaction with the faculty of the students from the faculty of education are found inadequate can be revealed
