Description | The author examines the issue of teacher fatigue, which is at present given relatively little attention. He gives a definition of fatigue, and discusses its types and manifestations. Using two questionnaires, teacher fatigue was examined from the point of view of its structure and general values. Fatigue characteristics clearly point out some special and topical demands on the teaching profession. Some teacher fatigue data found are very serious from the psychohygiene point of view, and may be warning signs of health and mental damage and a decrease in professional performance. |
