정서ㆍ행동 관심군 고등학생을 지도한 담임교사의 심리적 어려움에 관한 현상학적 연구

초록

This study aimed to explore the experiences of the psychological difficulties among high school homeroom teachers while supporting high school students identified as having emotional and behavioral concerns. Using a phenomenological qualitative research method, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight homeroom teachers from high schools in City C. The data were analyzed following Giorgi's phenomenological research method, resulting in seven essential themes and 27 categories. The seven essential themes are as follows: ‘Students in crisis approaching with anxiety’, ‘Parents who cannot cooperate’, ‘Homeroom teachers trapped in stress and identity confusion’, ‘Body and mind hitting rock bottom’, ‘Efforts to protect oneself’, ‘Growth time shared with students’, and ‘Expectations for new changes’. Based on these results, the overarching phenomenological theme encapsulating the teachers’psychological difficulties was identified as ‘Overcoming difficulties in anxiety and confusion, and creating one’s own path through growth’. Based on the results, the study discusses implications for future research and strategies to better understand and mitigate psychological distress and burnout among high school homeroom teachers.
