Well-being in teaching: an analysis of contemporary factors influencing teachers' quality of life
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to discuss the concept of well-being in teaching and identify factors that promote teacher well-being in contemporary times, according to the literature. It is based on a qualitative approach, through a systematic review of the scientific literature on teacher well-being. The results indicate that living and working conditions often generate stress, exacerbated by uncertainties and high demands imposed on individuals. However, even though education is one of the areas with the highest incidence of burnout syndrome, stress can also manifest as eustress (positive stress), promoting teacher well-being, the focus of this study's discussion. Although further studies are still needed, this research identifies different aspects that can foster teacher well-being, in support of the search for pathways for its development.
