المهارات الحياتية اليومية و علاقتها بالتفاؤل لدى المعلمين الفلسطينيين المتقاعدين عن العمل

Abstract EN

The following study aims to identify the relationship between the teachers’ daily life-skills performance level and the level of optimism among Palestinians who have been retired from work.

The researcher used the descriptive analytical method, through applying two questionnaires on a sample of retired teachers (n = 178).

Results indicate that the level of optimism they have is great, and an arithmetic mean was (3.83), while the results did not show an impact of the level of life skills on optimism.

Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences as of level of daily life skills and level of optimism among retired teachers that can be attributed to gender and / or the retirement period.

There is no possibility to predict the level of optimism or the practice of daily life skills.

The study recommended allowing an opportunity to continue to work for teachers who are retired from work and whom their physical and psychological abilities permit, as well as, to invest spare time for those retired teachers in their life in the collective and recreational activities : religious, physical, psychological, social, and to provide these activities for them since they have free time to enjoy.
