Abstract

The article highlights the results of a study on teachers’ views on specific difficulties and problems they encounter in their professional activities. The study results allowed for ranking the difficulties and problems defined in the research by their commonality for the surveys’ participants and examining the differences in teachers’ views on difficulties and problems in their professional activities according to varying lengths of work experience. Factor analysis of the survey results identified six clusters where specific professional difficulties and problems are concentrated (work environment, didactic activities, additional duties, social environment, psychological resilience, and accountability) and determined the most significant components of professional activity regarding the emergence of difficulties. Content analysis of open responses identified clusters of problems relevant to the survey participants and determined their significance for the participants at the time of the study. Conclusions, provided based on study results, can be used in recommendations for supporting teachers at macro, meso, and micro levels of the education process. The research was conducted within the framework of the scientific research “Evaluation of the Professional Activities of Secondary School Teachers”. The authors proceeded from the idea that the primary purpose of teacher evaluation is to help teachers overcome difficulties and problems that may complicate the performance of their direct professional duties – teaching and educating students.
