Teachers' occupation is a stressful occupation, and the responsibility of teaching and educating people is great. Teachers generally have high achievement motivation, but their sense of achievement is not as obvious as other professions. Because we are faced with a group of living people with thoughts, feelings and subjective initiative, this feature determines the complexity of teachers' work. As teachers, our greatest need is to gain the respect of others in our work, but the labor we pay and the rewards we get are often unbalanced. Especially the class teacher, the psychological pressure is greater. Faced with a new generation of students with more problems, teachers must spend more time and energy on educating students. However, teachers' long-term painstaking education is often impacted by bad social atmosphere outside school, which makes teachers have psychological conflicts and frustration. In addition, teachers are overworked, preparing lessons, correcting and tutoring for a long time, which leads to teachers' physical and mental fatigue and psychological pressure.

Second, the pressure to improve their own quality.

It is a trend for teachers to improve their academic qualifications. After work, teachers should constantly update their knowledge through training, further study and postgraduate study, and comprehensively improve their own quality by undertaking projects and publishing papers. Otherwise, it will not only affect the evaluation and employment of professional titles, but also be laid off. In addition, we should be familiar with the use of multimedia teaching AIDS, make our own courseware, etc ... Teachers have to face many new problems all the time, so it is easy to cause psychological pressure to teachers.

Third, personal life pressure and work conflict.

Teachers are also ordinary people, and they have to deal with trivial matters of life. Young teachers have a heavier burden of making friends in love, while middle-aged teachers should take care of their parents and educate their children. The nature of our work is that the bell is the command. No matter what your mood is, you should give lectures with great interest and communicate with students enthusiastically. However, if the bad emotions are not properly vented for a long time, it is easy to have psychological problems.

Fourth, the pressure of the times

The new century has put forward new requirements for teachers, requiring them to play multiple roles at the same time-to be good knowledge teachers, parents' agents, collective leaders, friends and students' friends. On the one hand, he asked the teacher to impart knowledge to the students, on the other hand, he also set an example for the students, and the teacher should keep it in mind, thus causing conflicts between mortals and role models.

The particularity of teachers' profession makes them bear too much pressure, which in turn makes teachers' physical and mental diseases and psychological problems more and more prominent. Psychological research shows that 48% of teachers have psychological problems, which is 23% higher than other occupations. The main manifestations are: (1) anxiety, which is the most common emotional reflection. Its main characteristics are fear, tension, anxiety and depression, which will hinder people's intellectual development; Reduce people's adaptability. (2) grumpy, showing excessive excitement, anger and indiscriminate accusations. (3) learned helplessness is weak, passive, passive, helpless and indifferent. (4) Self-evaluation is reduced, and confidence and courage to make progress are lost. In the case of long-term stress, there will be loss of appetite, indigestion, nervous headache, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess, weakness of limbs, gastrointestinal discomfort, palpitation, palpitation and so on.

Faced with all these problems, we can know that it is good for both teachers and students to adopt various strategies to reduce teachers' professional pressure. Teachers who feel stressed often feel physically and mentally exhausted, have a negative attitude towards colleagues and students, and perform generally or poorly in class. Many teachers admit that in order to solve personal problems, they usually change their teaching plans or cut corners in teaching activities, and use the time saved to deal with personal affairs. As a result, teachers become impatient. Because of disciplinary reasons, they often send students to the headmaster, and even intensify the contradiction with students or managers, which makes students feel unhappy in the learning process and their academic performance decline.

Reducing the pressure on teachers is a very economical way to improve the quality of education. Excessive work pressure leads to the decline of teachers' working conditions and the increase of the frequency of absence from classes, which in turn leads to the increase of substitute teachers' expenditure (some researchers put forward Moore effect, that is, teachers' absence from classes will lead to the increase of students' frequency of absence from classes), and it will also bring other negative chain reactions, such as the decline of school education quality-the impact of school reputation-the impact of students' quality-the further decline of school quality-the loss of teachers and so on.

Various problems caused by teachers' psychological pressure have attracted more and more attention from all walks of life. The standard of teachers' mental health has also come out. The criteria are as follows:

1, can take the initiative to accept yourself-that is, really understand, correctly evaluate, be willing to accept and like yourself. Admit that people have individual differences and allow themselves to be inferior to others;

2. Have a good level of educational cognition-be able to face the reality and actively adapt to the requirements of environment and education. For example, have keen observation and the ability to understand students objectively; Have the ability to obtain information, properly transmit information and effectively use information;

3. Love the teaching profession and actively love students-you can get self-comfort and self-realization from the education of love and get a sense of accomplishment from the fruitful education and teaching;

4. Have a stable and positive educational mentality-whether the teacher's educational psychological environment is stable, optimistic and positive will affect the teacher's overall psychological state and behavior, and will also affect the teaching effect;

5. Self-control of various emotions and emotions-arduous education requires teachers to have a good and strong will, that is, to have a clear purpose and firmness in teaching work; Decisiveness and persistence in decision-making when dealing with problems; Calm self-control in the face of contradictions, and the ability to give and receive love;

6. Harmonious educational interpersonal relationship-having a sound personality, being able to live in harmony with others in communication, and having more positive attitudes (such as respect, sincerity, envy, trust, praise, etc. ) more than negative attitudes (such as fear, doubt, jealousy, hatred, etc. );

7, can adapt to and transform the educational environment-can adapt to the development of the current educational environment, reform and innovation, actively transform the bad educational environment, improve the quality of teaching.

Every teacher should have a good self-awareness, adjust his mentality at all times, relieve excessive pressure, remind himself at all times according to the standards of teachers' mental health, and keep himself away from psychological and physical problems. Modern teachers should also find ways to adjust their psychological pressure, so as to get rid of it as soon as possible. I think we can start from the following aspects:

1, empathy identification method-correctly understand the pressure and flexibly adjust the mentality. For example, when you encounter unfair life events or uncoordinated interpersonal relationships, as well as unpleasant emotional experiences, you can put yourself in the shoes;

2, the passage of time forgetting method-sometimes time is the best way to solve problems. Take the initiative to forget the unpleasantness of the past and present, and correct your cognitive concept at any time. Don't let the painful past hinder your future;

3. Let nature take its course-learn to relax yourself, say whatever you want under appropriate circumstances (find someone you trust), rest if you want (combine work and rest), and entertain if you want (self-venting) ... When you really don't want to do something, you can temporarily put it down and not pursue perfection (pursuing Excellence is not pursuing perfection);

4. Pay attention to the process and downplay the utilitarian method-establish reasonable and objective self-expectation. For example, when dealing with academic qualifications, professional titles, positions and even life, we should attach importance to the process of hard work and dilute the results. Pay attention to two points: first, your goal should be reasonable; Second, sometimes you can think of the worst and try your best;

5, the rational law in front of everyone-it is best to observe more and think more in front of everyone, and less blindly express yourself. Everyone will have such a psychological experience: when he shows himself blindly in front of everyone, he regrets that his words and deeds have damaged his image and is worried;

6, update the environmental self-regulation method-change the environment when the pressure is too great and the mood is bad. For example, outdoor viewing, indoor flower cultivation, imagination of beautiful things, avoidance of terrorist events (out of sight, out of mind);

7. Music and body health care law-all kinds of voices are felt through the ears, such as praise, criticism, discussion and abuse of others. It will affect your mental state, so you can listen to some beautiful music to ease your unhappy mood. It is extremely important to develop good living habits and self-care ability. At the same time, creating a harmonious family atmosphere can not be ignored;

8. Self-confidence and self-motivation method-that is, believe that you are the best and most reliable. Every great cause begins with self-confidence.

First, you should know that it's only a matter of time before other people encounter problems, pressures and setbacks. Therefore, if you want to do something that others can face squarely and bravely, you can do it through hard work. Even if you don't succeed, you can at least try to avoid regret. The key is that opportunities and people are equal. Only by waiting for opportunities in preparation can we be good at seizing opportunities. Therefore, self-consolation, self-encouragement, self-control of emotions, self-positive psychological hints, tap your own potential, cultivate and effectively display your own advantages, and make your own way;

Second, gains and losses run through a person's life, and the key lies in your attitude and value orientation. If you can regard difficulties and pressures as precursors of success, adversity as stepping stones to success, and crisis as the starting point of opportunity, then you can look at the distress of life positively;

Third, the task or work you undertake must be the most important in your mind. Therefore, don't confront the real work and life, and try to stay calm.

In short, the particularity of teachers' profession has brought various pressures to teachers' psychology. On the one hand, this kind of pressure depends on teachers to learn self-psychological adjustment and provide self-support, so that they can get rid of the spiritual bondage brought by unnecessary "shrines" in the new situation. On the other hand, we need the care and support from all walks of life for teachers, so that teachers can have a good attitude and convey a positive image to students in the teaching activities of "preaching and dispelling doubts". The teacher's "decompression" is actually "reducing the burden" for students. Only by minimizing the professional pressure of teachers can the quality of education and teaching in schools be most effectively guaranteed and improved to the greatest extent, and a new generation of outstanding successors can be cultivated.
