Abstract

The study explored teachers’ resilience in challenging environments in Morogoro Municipality using a mixed-methods approach. It combined quantitative data from a resilience scale with qualitative insights from interviews with nine teachers. Findings indicated that many teachers reported low resilience, correlating with issues like high turnover and job dissatisfaction. Teachers expressed a lack of confidence and competence, influenced by socio-economic factors and difficult work conditions. Thematic analysis revealed varied individual experiences of resilience, highlighting the need for supportive school cultures and targeted strategies to enhance teachers' coping abilities. The study advocates for tailored professional development programs addressing teachers’ specific needs, particularly those with low resilience. Recommendations include fostering positive school environments, promoting social support, and improving time management and coping strategies. By focusing on these areas, educational institutions can build a more resilient teaching workforce, benefiting both educators and students. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on teacher resilience, suggesting that systematic support can improve educational outcomes and retention in Morogoro Municipality and beyond.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of teachers regarding effective resilience strategies in challenging educational environments within secondary schools in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania. Grounded in Pelidores’ Resilience Theory and Conservation Resource Theory, the research highlights the importance of social interactions and resource management in fostering teacher resilience. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 236 participants, including 234 teachers and 2 key informants, through simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Findings reveal a complex landscape of perceptions, with many teachers expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of various resilience strategies, particularly in creating positive school cultures and fostering supportive relationships. While some strategies, such as positive verbal reinforcement and interactive learning, received favorable evaluations, a majority of respondents rated these approaches as inadequately implemented. This suggests a significant gap between recognizing the value of resilience strategies and their practical applicability. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions, including professional development programs, mentorship networks, and policies that prioritize teacher well-being and resource allocation. By addressing these challenges and fostering a supportive educational environment, the resilience of teachers can be significantly enhanced, ultimately leading to improved educational outcomes for students.
