Abstract. Gamification is a rather new method in education and unfortunately is not a widely known method among Hungarian primary school teachers in Romania. This paper presents the knowledge and opinion of pre-service preschool and primary school teachers about gamification and its use in education. In this study 81 Primary and Preschool Pedagogy students from BabeșBolyai University were participated, 80 of them were female and 1 male. 40 students are in first year and 41 in second year of their studies. The research was carried out during February-March 2020 at Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania. To get to know their point of view and knowledge about gamification, an online questionnaire was developed by the authors. The obtained data was quantitatively (closed questions) and qualitatively (open questions) analyzed. According to the results, half of the students think that there is no difference between gamification and game-based learning and for three quarter it is difficult to see the differences. This is surprising as students were taught about gamification before filling in the questionnaire. Students perceive a high level of utility of gamification in education. The most frequently mentioned benefits by the participants are that gamification motivates and actively involves students. Even if participants gave many advantages of integrating gamification in education, the biggest disadvantage is related with the time necessary for preparation of a gamified lesson and for the time-allocation during the lesson. As obstacles of using gamification, they mentioned the negative attitude or/and lack of methodological knowledge of some teachers and the constrains of the curriculum. Most of the preservice teachers prefer both paper-pencil based and technology-aid gamification. They consider solving exercises the most suitable for gamification.

Abstract Background The teaching profession is highly stressed job. A high level of stress is associated with poor health outcomes, such as burnout and psychological distress. Therefore, teachers’ use of coping styles becomes imperative. However, relatively little is known about primary school teachers’ psychological distress, burnout, coping strategies, and associated factors in Nigeria. The study investigated psychological distress, burnout, coping strategies among primary schools, and associated factors in Nigeria. Methods A total of 264 teachers aged 20–59 years participated in the study between May 2019 to October 2019. Questionnaires on psychological distress, burnout, coping strategies, and demographic profile form were used for data collection. Factors associated with psychological distress, burnout, and coping strategies were identified using t-test, univariate ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, Chi-square test, and hierarchical linear regression analysis. Results Of 264 participants enrolled for the study, 253 responded, giving a response rate of 95.8%. The prevalence of psychological distress and burnout was 69.9% (176/253) and 36.0% (91/253), respectively. Sex (β = 0.158), a high level of emotional exhaustion (β = 0.193) and reduced personal accomplishment (β = 0.358), adoption of problem-focused strategies (β = 0.904), and dysfunctional strategies (β = 0.340) were positively associated with psychological distress. Age (β = − 0.338), academic qualification (β = − 0.210), and income level (β = − 0.146) were inversely associated with psychological distress, which together explained 51.5% of the total variance. Psychological distress (β = 0.275 vs. β = 0.404) was significantly associated with emotional exhaustion (EE) and reduced personal accomplishment (PA) and explained 11.4 and 24.2% of the variance in EE and reduced PA, respectively. Conclusions The high prevalence of psychological distress and burnout among teachers should receive urgent attention. Teachers’ training curricula should include developing interpersonal skills, stress management abilities, and resilience to equip them for the job. Also, teacher training curricula should integrate mental health promotion interventions.

An essential characteristic of pedagogical activity is its conflict potential. Such specific features as high social and normative expectations and significant overloading of roles in combination with individual psychological characteristics of teacher's personality lead to the emergence or exacerbation of various intrapersonal conflicts. Unsettled conflict usually becomes a constant source of discontent with yourself and the environment, causes a high level of anxiety, starts devastating processes of emotional burnout. Therefore, it is important to provide timely assistance to teachers in situations of intrapersonal conflicts.The purpose of the article is to highlight the results of empirical identification of intrapersonal conflict factors of primary school teachers. To achieve this goal it is necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) to investigate the factors of teachers conflict behaviour at the empirical level; 2) to determine the specifics and nature of the relationship between the level and characteristics of conflict and creativity, between the motivation of achievement and development of subjective qualities of a primary school teacher.Research tools: adapted methods of K.Thomas (N.Hrishyna) on the diagnosis of the style of behaviour in a conflict situation; methods of diagnosis of personality motivation for success (T.Ehlers); methods of studying frustration reactions (S.Rosenzweig); methods of diagnostics of interpersonal relations (L.Sobchyk); A.Rukavyshnikov’s methods for the definition of mental burnout; Drawing Apperceptive Test (DAT); methods of self-actualization A.Maslow adapted by Gozman, Kroz & Latinskaya. The total number of respondents - 32 primary school teachers of secondary schools in Drohobych, Lviv region.The analysis of the obtained results showed that: 1) there are specific characteristic connections between the level and features of conflict, creativity, between the motivation of achievement and development of subjective qualities of a person; 2) internal conflict as an interpersonal phenomenon is both a personal characteristic and a determinant of social interaction. It has been found that rivalry, low verbal creativity, lack of communicative competence in combination with extrapunitive type of reactions cause increased conflict. According to the results of the researches, a significant number of primary school teachers under study (32%) have increased intrapersonal conflict. Of course, this alarming indicator prevents the establishment of optimal pedagogical communication and provokes conflict among children of primary school age.

Статтю присвячено проблемі особистісно-професійного зростання майбутніх педагогів почат­кової ланки шкільної освіти, основою якого є розвиток їх професійної самосвідомості. В межах публікації висвітлено залежність функціонування професійно-педагогічної Я-підструктури студентської молоді від низки психологічних феноменів (передусім особистісних) як механізмів розвитку цього утворення, зокрема цілепокладання майбутніх фахівців. Розкрито концептуальні погляди науковців про вплив життєво-про­фесійних установок юнаків на розвиток їх професійного «Я». Виявлено особливості прояву цілепокладання сту­дентів – майбутніх учителів початкових класів, визначено його динаміку. Емпірично досліджено взає­мо­зв’язок змістовних складників цілепокладання студентської молоді з рівнями розвитку її професійної самосвідомості. Доведено домінування в юнаків із високим рівнем професійно-педагогічної Я-підструктури достатньо сформованої установки на педагогічну діяльність, що відрізняється обдуманим у часі, само­стійним ухваленням майбутніми фахівцями рішення щодо власного професійного майбутнього, жвавим інтересом до професійно-орієнтованих дисциплін психолого-педагогічного циклу та різних видів навчально-професійної діяльності, чільне місце серед яких займає самостійна робота як провідна форма самоосвіти; превалювання в досліджуваних зазначеної групи професійно-педагогічної спрямованості, орієнтованої на викладацьку діяльність у різних закладах освіти. Для майбутніх учителів 1-4-х класів із середнім рівнем цілепокладання характерна часткова установка на педагогічну діяльність, проявами якої є відносно недавній, проте самостійний вибір студентами майбутньої професії, надання ними переваги тим дисцип­лінам академічного циклу, котрі, на їхню думку, сприяють фаховому зростанню; серед видів же навчально-професійної діяльності, що забезпечують найбільший вплив на формування інтересу до професії, виок­рем­люють семінарські, лабораторні заняття й навчально-виробничу практику; домінування в респондентів окрес­леного рівня професійно-педагогічної спрямованості, орієнтованої насамперед на зовнішню приваб­ливість учительської діяльності. Юнаки ж із низьким рівнем цілепокладання мають несформовану уста­новку на педагогічну діяльність, в основі якої лежить випадковий вибір студентською молоддю професії вчителя, її пасивне ставлення до вивчення практично всіх дисциплін академічного циклу, уникнення участі в роботі на заняттях; відсутність у досліджуваних цієї групи професійно-педагогічної спрямованості, ба­жання працювати в освітній галузі. The article focuses on studying the personal and professional development of future primary school teachers, which is based on the development of their professional awareness. It highlights the dependence of the functioning of professional self-substructure of students from a range of psychological phenomena (especially personal) as mechanisms for the development of the notion, including future professionals’ goal-setting. Peculiarities of goal-setting display of future primary school teachers and its dynamics are revealed. Correlation of meaningful components of students’ goal-setting with the levels of development of professional awareness is empirically studied. It is proved that students with high level of professional and pedagogical self-substructure have dominant formed motivation for pedagogical activity which is characterized by well-considered in time, making independent decisions concerning their professional future, brisk interest in major disciplines that form the psycho-pedagogical component of their training and various aspects of educational and professional activities, the important part of which is dedicated to the independent work as a leading form of self-education; prevailing in such students professional and pedagogical orientation focused on teaching in various educational institutions. For future teachers of primary school with an average level of goal-setting is characteristic the partial motivation for pedagogical activity which is displayed by relatively recent, but independent choice of their future profession giving preference to such disciplines which, in their opinion, contribute to their professional growth; among educational and professional activities that provide the greatest impact on the formation of interest to the profession, students single out seminars, laboratory lessons and training practice; prevailing in students first of all mentioned above level of professional and pedagogical orientation focused on attractiveness of teaching activities. Students with low level of goal-setting have not formed motivation for pedagogical activity which is based on an accidental choice of their future profession, passive attitude to the study almost of all disciplines avoiding taking part in a lesson’s activities; lack of professional and pedagogical orientation and desire to work in educational sphere.

English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers in Malaysia, as in many other countries, are anxious to exploit the potential of Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) –aligned curriculum to enhance the teaching and learning process. Given the increasing pressure exerted by various stakeholders on language education, it is important to understand the underlying factors behind primary school teachers’ readiness regarding CEFR-aligned curriculum. Even though there are studies conducted in local contexts, it is still very limited. This study seeks to find out the level of ESL primary teachers’ readiness to implement CEFR-aligned curriculum. This study also investigates the factors that can influence teachers’ readiness towards the implementation of CEFR-aligned curriculum. Data was collected via questionnaire survey from ESL primary school teachers in Pasir Gudang, Johor. The questionnaire data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that most of the teachers have high level of readiness in implementing CEFR-aligned curriculum. Several factors are also highlighted in this study. Teachers’ training, competency, materials as well as school-based assessment are some of the main challenges identified in this study. In conclusion, the implementation of CEFR-aligned curriculum is seen as inevitable but more preparation and support should be provided by the ministry to ensure that teachers are fully prepared and familiar with the implementation of CEFR-aligned curriculum.
