Abstract:
In tills study educators' resilience in teaching as a career was investigated
The Experienced Teacher Survey (ETS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire
(EPQ) were used to determine the relationship between educators'
personalities and their resilience levels The findings indicated that educators
differed significantly in the extent to which they were resilient in relation to
teaching as a career The findings also indicated that educators' biographical
variables, namely gender, teaching experience and teaching phase had no
significant influence on educators' resilience in teaching as a career The
findings further indicated that there was correlation between educators'
resilience and the dimension of neurotic personality. Suggestion for further
similar research so that more light can be shed on the findings was made.
