The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the characteristics of classroom teachers in Florida public schools and the job-related areas they perceive as most stressful. Data for the study was gathered from the population of elementary and secondary classroom teachers in Florida public schools. The population was randomly sampled using a table of random numbers and consisted of teachers from 50 public elementary and secondary schools, representing each of the five educational regions of Florida as defined by the Florida Department of Education. / Data collected from completed surveys were manually scored and recorded on a data sheet. Data were transferred from the data sheets to computer files for analysis. The perceived job-related areas of stress and differences in perceptions among the demographic subgroups were analyzed by means of the Analysis of Variance statistics. It was concluded from the study that: (1) Florida public school teachers, regardless of grade level taught, sex, age, race, number of years teaching experience and level of education, share common perceptions about events associated with teaching that produce the greatest degree of stress. (2) Teaching events perceived by Florida classroom teachers as being most stressful are those over which the teacher has least control and those in which the teacher is held accountable for student achievement and school problems. / Recommendations include: (1) A closer examination should be made into the nature of stress associated with teaching events and its relationship to "life events" of the teacher. (2) An additional study should be accomplished to determine how stress affects teachers in the performance of their professional duties. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-03, Section: A, page: 0484. / Major Professor: John Bolden. / Thesis (Ed.D.)--The Florida State University, 1986.
