Dissertation / The aim of this study is to investigate teacher stress and to identify factors that contribute to the
stress experienced by township secondary school teachers.
Based on an extensive literature study, an inventory, the Teacher Stress Identification Test was
developed. The inventory was completed by 368 teachers who live in townships and work in
township secondary schools in the Free State. Information thus gained was analysed with the
use of a statistical computer programme. It appears from the research that the inventory has
both a high reliability coefficient and construct validity.
The empirical research revealed that township secondary school teachers experience moderate
to high levels of stress. It also gave a clear indication of the factors contributing to the stress
experienced by these teachers, allowing the researcher to make several recommendations.
Lastly, the manifestations of stress as well as the coping mechanisms of these teachers were
briefly investigated. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
