Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Teachers and Teacher Students’ Well-Being: Nominal Group Technique

Aim: Examine the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of teachers (TW) and teacher students (TSW). Method: Nominal Group Technique (NGT) applied in a group of teachers (TG) (n = 23, 100% women, mean age 31.4) and teacher students (TSG) (n = 18, 83.3% women, mean age 21.6). Results: 27 consequences on TW and 21 consequences on TSW found. The highest consensus of 65.2% in the severity of negative consequences on TW was found in the subjective dimension (fear for loved ones) and 56.2% in the severity of positive consequences on TW in the social dimension (spending time with family). The highest consensus of 83.3% in the severity of negative consequences on TSW was found in the social dimension (social isolation). Conclusion: Results of the study contribute to creating interventions to support TW and TSW based on research data.
