文摘BACKGROUND Enhancing work engagement among physical education(PE)teachers is crucial for building a strong sports nation and fostering educational advancement.However,PE teachers frequently experience conflicts between work and family roles,significantly impacting their professional involvement.The concept of work-family facilitation,highlighting mutual facilitation between work and family domains,has considerable theoretical and practical significance but remains underexplored in this context.This study integrates ecosystem theory,spillover theory,social exchange theory,and two-factor theory to systematically explore the mechanism through which work-family facilitation influences work engagement.Specifically,it investigates the roles of psychological resilience and job satisfaction in this relationship,providing a novel theoretical perspective and empirical evidence.AIM To systematically explore the mechanism through which work-family facilitation influences work engagement among PE teachers.METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 436 PE teachers.Structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships among variables and assess mediating effects.RESULTS Work-family facilitation positively correlated with psychological resilience,job satisfaction,and work engagement(r=0.323-0.705,P<0.001).Psychological resilience and job satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between work-family facilitation and work engagement,demonstrating a significant chain mediation effect.CONCLUSION This study confirms that promoting work-family facilitation enhances psychological resilience and job satisfaction,thereby significantly boosting work engagement among PE teachers.These findings underline the importance of targeted interventions to enhance work-family resources,psychological resilience,and job satisfaction,contributing to theoretical advancements and practical implications for educational management.
文摘This study explores the environmental sensitivity of first-year teacher education stu dents,focusing on the relationship between their Earth Science performance,demographic factors,and their cognitive and emotional responses to environmental challenges.Using a descriptive correlational design within a mixed-methods framework,the research incorporates tools such as the Environmental Sensitivity Test(EST),focus group discussions(FGDs),and eco-mapping to comprehensively collect and analyze data.The findings reveal that while students exhibit a general awareness of environmental issues,this awareness does not consistently translate into sustainable practices,particularly in areas such as water conservation and waste management.A weak and statistically insignificant correlation was identified between Earth Science performance and environmental sensitivity,indicating that academic achievement in the subject does not necessarily lead to environmentally responsible behaviors.The results underscore the importance of teacher education programs integrating principles of behavioral psychology,experiential learning,and focused environmental education.Specifically,secondary science teachers should be equipped with practical strategies,such as implementing project-based learning,organizing community-centered environmental initiatives,and fostering interdisciplinary approaches to sustainability.These interventions address the gap in preparing future educators to effectively advocate for and implement sustainable practices.Strengthening teacher preparation programs with these components ensures that science educators are better equipped to cultivate a new generation of environmentally responsible citizens.

文摘Background:Teachers from higher education commonly face substantial workloads,resulting in heightened stress and reduced well-being.This has spurred significant academic interest in the determinants of faculty well-being within higher education.Consequently,numerous studies have focused on both understanding these influencing factors and developing strategies to bolster teacher well-being,an area that has gained considerable traction as a research focus.Although systematic reviews have been conducted to elucidate the connections between well-being and particular attributes like emotional regulation,efficacy,and competency,there remains a paucity of reviews that holistically examine the multifaceted factors affecting the well-being of university and college faculty.Methods:In this study,using a systematic review approach,we explore higher education teachers’well-being(HETWB)and its influencing multiple-dynamic factors.Following PRISMA 2020,Web of Science and ERIC were selected as the metadatabase,and 42 publications were obtained by strict criteria during literature screening.The basic information about the studies,including publication trends,regional distribution,method,and the factors affecting the well-being of college teachers,has been analyzed.Results:A review of the literature suggests a notable increase in scholarly attention directed towards teachers’well-being in recent decades.Comparative bibliometric analysis identifies China,Spain,Canada,and theUnited States as the leading nations interms of publications on this topic.Within this body of research,quantitative methods,particularly questionnaire-based surveys(n=31),predominate as the primary investigative strategy.The determinants of teachers’well-being are commonly categorized into several domains:demographic characteristics(e.g.,gender,family status,university type/level,academic major,position,tenure);external workrelated factors(e.g.,availability of job resources,level of job demands);internal personal attributes(e.g.,physical status,mental status,mental traits,mental competencies);interactive processes(e.g.,work-home conflict/balance);and potential moderators(e.g.,quality of work relationships).Additionally,there is a growing body of research dedicated to elucidating the multifaceted and dynamic mechanisms that govern the well-being of college faculty.Conclusion:Firstly,our global perspective allows us to move beyond the limitations of region-specific research and identify commonalities and variations in the factors influencing faculty well-being across diverse cultural and institutional contexts.Furthermore,we emphasize the bidirectional nature of these relationships,illustrating how well-being not only influences work outcomes(e.g.,performance,and job satisfaction)but also receives impacts from them,creating a dynamic feedback loop.Finally,our inclusion of the counter-effect,where high levels of well-being,as conceptualized in HETWB,can lead to better psychological states,work performance,and access to resources,further enriches the understanding of this field.
