Sažetak
Rapid changes and uncertainty leave their imprint in form of stress, anxiety, depression... One of markedly stressful professions is for sure teacher profession. Researches have shown that 25-30% of teacher worldwide experience strong stress. Serious consequences are dissatisfaction with work, health issues and emotional exhaustion. Situation is similar also in Croatia. One third of Croatian teachers would like to change profession ; they express high level of stress and health problems. All of that has negative impact on student achievement as well. As Radeka and Soric state, if we want to influence teacher motivation and thereby development of modern school, we have to enhance teacher satisfaction with their own work. Challenge is how to do it. In this paper we will present results of pilot-project conducted on group of Croatian primary school teachers with aim to test the impact of ThetaHealing® technique on reduction of stress and change of attitudes toward own profession. That could be one way of the future education of the new generations of teachers.
