(A) the pressure of social expectations.
Teachers are a special profession, and the society has high requirements for teachers. Teachers are regarded as the most glorious profession in the world, engineers of human souls and hardworking gardeners. As Wilson said, "all the characters who are highly responsible for people have to bear considerable internal conflicts and insecurity." These high social expectations often make teachers suppress their normal needs and restrain themselves too much, involving various details, which easily leads to lack of self-confidence, inner depression, physical and mental health being affected, and easy to produce job burnout.
(B) the burden of exam-oriented education.
For a long time, the enrollment rate has become the educational goal and performance standard of schools, and people are still used to measuring the advantages and disadvantages of schools and teachers with the enrollment rate as the standard. Schools have racked their brains for the enrollment rate and put pressure on teachers. In the long journey of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate, teachers are under great psychological pressure and are in a state of physical and mental exhaustion for a long time.
(3) Lack of sense of accomplishment.
"Planting trees for ten years, educating people for a hundred years". Teachers don't see the effect as quickly as workers produce products. Teaching effect needs students' long-term practice in social life. Moreover, this effect is not determined by teachers subjectively, but can only be reflected by students' internalization. In real life, many students don't listen to the teacher's guidance, and the teacher spends a lot of energy, but the effect is hard to show. Because of the long working hours, teachers can't see the effect, it is difficult for them to get a sense of accomplishment, and they are most likely to lose interest in their careers.
(4) the loss of low status.
The economic status of teachers is the basis and symbol of their social status. The meager salary makes it difficult for teachers to truly reflect and improve their social status. Many teachers are extremely disappointed. Some of them leave their jobs to open up new horizons, while others are caught in wait-and-see and hesitation. Teaching means little to them, and it is only a matter of time before they fall into job burnout.
(5) Tired of monotonous environment.
The living environment of teachers is relatively closed, and the working environment is office and family except classroom, so there are few opportunities to contact with the outside world; Teachers' work and life are monotonous. In addition to attending classes, they correct their homework, urge students to complete their study tasks and go home to rest, which makes them lack the ability to communicate with society. Moreover, due to the fierce competition in teaching, the interpersonal relationship between teachers has been in a delicate state, and teachers' psychological problems have not been released for a long time. In this way, teachers are prone to feel bored and job burnout.
(6) sense of occupational crisis.
With the deepening of the reform of the education system, the teaching profession, like other industries, has been gradually broken. Measures such as separation of evaluation and employment, competition for posts, and students choosing teachers have made teachers generally feel a sense of crisis. Under the new situation, the ever-changing educational methods and means put forward higher requirements for teachers, which makes many teachers feel powerless.
