Abstract

This study examined inclusive education’s stressors, impacts of stress, and coping strategies among 185 teachers recruited through complete enumeration from selected public schools in Mandaue City Division, Cebu, Philippines during the 2023-2024 school year. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to investigate relationships between the variables. Data was collected through a validated and structured questionnaire. Analysis of demographic profiles revealed the majority of respondents were female, aged 31-40 years with 6-10 years of experience. Over half were married. Most held some master's degree units, had received prior inclusive education training, and reported awareness of policies pertaining to inclusion. Results showed teachers experienced moderate overall stress from factors like workload, time constraints, disruptive student behaviors, and insufficient resources. Stress manifested occasionally as exhaustion, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Coping strategies included discussing issues with colleagues/family and engaging in relaxing activities, but were generally less utilized. Pearson r revealed a significant yet weak relationship between stressors and coping strategies. However, the relationship between stress impacts and coping strategies was non-significant. This suggests coping did not effectively mitigate detrimental stress effects. Notably, neither relationship was strong, with stressors more consistently linked to coping than impacts. These findings highlight the need for holistic teacher wellness programs in Mandaue City Division, addressing diverse challenges through targeted interventions like improved working conditions, adaptive skill-building, and various types of career-stage support. A multi-factorial approach considering the local context is needed to strengthen the resilience and retention of teachers within inclusive education long-term. The study validated the importance of optimizing teacher mental health and well-being given inclusion demands through a customized management plan. By systematically addressing educator needs, sustainability of quality inclusive services can be supported. DOI: https://doi.org/10.52783/pst.555

全纳教学：公立学校教师的压力源、压力影响和应对策略

本研究调查了 2023-2024 学年期间从菲律宾宿务曼达韦市分区选定的公立学校中通过全面普查招募的 185 名教师的全纳教育压力源、压力影响和应对策略。研究采用了描述性-相关性研究设计来调查变量之间的关系。数据是通过一份经过验证的结构化问卷收集的。对人口统计学特征的分析表明，大多数受访者为女性，年龄在 31-40 岁之间，有 6-10 年的工作经验。半数以上已婚。大多数人拥有硕士学位，接受过全纳教育培训，并表示了解与全纳教育相关的政策。结果表明，教师们因工作量、时间限制、学生捣乱行为和资源不足等因素而承受了中等程度的总体压力。压力偶尔表现为疲惫、沮丧和不知所措的感觉。应对策略包括与同事/家人讨论问题和参加放松活动，但一般较少使用。Pearson r 显示，压力源与应对策略之间存在显著但微弱的关系。然而，压力影响与应对策略之间的关系并不显著。这表明，应对策略并不能有效减轻压力的有害影响。值得注意的是，两者之间的关系都不强，压力源与应对策略之间的关系比压力影响之间的关系更密切。这些研究结果凸显了在曼达韦市分部开展全面的教师健康计划的必要性，通过有针对性的干预措施，如改善工作条件、培养适应技能和提供各种职业阶段支持，来应对各种挑战。需要采取考虑当地情况的多因素方法，在长期的全纳教育中加强教师的复原力和留任率。这项研究验证了在全纳教育的要求下，通过量身定制的管理计划来优化教师心理健康和福祉的重要性。通过系统地满足教育工作者的需求，可以支持优质全纳服务的可持续性。DOI: https://doi.org/10.52783/pst.555
