Nauczycielskie strategie radzenia sobie z niepewnością doświadczaną w pracy z dziećmi

Abstrakt

Uncertainty, described as a state of anxiety, discomfort, and concern experienced by a person (or group), is generated not so much by actual situations as by the ways in which they are experienced. Identifying strategies for reducing this uncertainty was the goal of a study involving early childhood teachers who described: a) events implying uncertainty in their work with children, and b) actions taken in response to this uncertainty. Analysis of the responses revealed that the most common actions in situations of uncertainty include: 1) concealing it as a shameful lack of appropriate pedagogical competence; 2) seeking support in coping with it; 3) refraining from coping with it and regarding it as a teaching failure.
