Sex differences across teacher’s motivation, teaching satisfaction, loneliness and affects during COVID-19
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen

La motivación, la satisfacción docente, la soledad y los estados afectivos son variables significativas en el rendimiento docente. No obstante, la presencia de la docencia en casa durante la COVID-19 puede haber influido en estas variables. Por ello, los objetivos de esta investigación fueron examinar si existen diferencias de sexo en la motivación del docente, la satisfacción docente, la soledad y los estados afectivos; y si existe alguna asociación entre la edad y la motivación del docente, la satisfacción docente, la soledad y los estados afectivos. Una muestra de 315 docentes (Mage=41.95; DT=10.18) participó en el estudio y cumplimentó una serie de cuestionarios de autoinforme durante el periodo de COVID-19 de docencia en casa. Los resultados revelaron que existen diferencias de sexo en la regulación identificada, la soledad y el equilibrio de los afectos negativos. En particular, las docentes obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente más altas en regulación identificada y equilibrio de los afectos negativos y los docentes reportaron puntuaciones más altas en la variable soledad. En conclusión, se debe considerar crear intervenciones para ayudar a los docentes a reducir las consecuencias negativas de la soledad y los estados afectivos negativos sobre el rendimiento docente y mejorar los perfiles motivacionales, especialmente entre los docentes hombres.
