الاحتراق النفسي لدى أساتذة التعليم المتوسط بين التصلب و المرونة المعرفية

Abstract EN

This study investigates the level of psychological burnout among middle school teachers and its relationship with the two styles of cognitive rigidity versus flexibility.

To conduct the study, we adopted the descriptive approach, using two scales: cognitive rigidity versus flexibility of Al-Dulaimi (2013), and the psychological burnout scale of Seidman and Zeger (1986), which was translated and adjusted to the Arab environment by Adel Abdullah Muhammad (1994).

The subjects of the study were 117 middle school teachers from some schools in El Oued.

After statistical analysis of data, the following results were obtained: a) the majority of middle school teachers are characterised by a high level of psychological burnout, b) there is no relationship between the two styles of cognitive rigidity versus flexibility and psychological burnout among middle school teachers, and c) the degrees of psychological burnout for middle school teachers are not different according to gender, professional experience, and specialisation.
