For my research project, I'm registering teachers on a mindfulness-based program and measuring its effects in different psychological variables. This program is associated with high levels of wellbeing.
Some of the measures I'm looking at measuring (before and after the programme) are:
productivity levels, engagement at work, meaning at work, self-efficacy, morale, relationships, stress levels.
I'm also in the midst of thinking of other work-related psychological variables that might be changed after undergoing the program and then measuring them with valid and reliable questionnaires.
If you have any thoughts, questions - please let me know.
I think you can choose different criterion and then with the help of schedule you can survey teachers with their family responsibilities, available facilities, their attitude towards education and their work etc.
Hi Lydia,
what about the "Teacher Self-Efficacy-Scale" by Schwarzer, Schmitz & Daytner (http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~health/self/se-teacher_2008.pdf)
and the scale to measure "job and organization engagement" by Saks (http://cinik.free.fr/chlo/doc%20dans%20biblio,%20non%20imprim%C3%A9s/maintien%20dans%20l'emploi/atcd%20et%20cons%C3%A9quences%20de%20engagement.pdf)
Greetings, Melanie
I would recommend the 12-Item Well-being Questionnaire (W-BQ12), which shows very good psychometric properties. See Watrowski & Rohde 2014. Greetings, Rafal
@Renzo, thanks for your help! In regards to self-rated health and quality of life, if those questionnaires measure stress levels, then that is great.Thank you for posting those papers, I will have a look at them at some point and get back to you on here.
@Renzo & Rafal However, I am not trying to measure such broad concept such as quality of life or wellbeing as I already know that this programme increases level of wellbeing (as it has been tested on the general population).
@Melanie - they look great, I'll also have a more in-depth look and get back to you on here.
