A Physical education teacher regularly handles a variety of duties both inside and
outside the classroom. The purpose of the present study is to assess the mental
stress experienced by physical education teachers working in government and
private schools in the Ratnapura district, Sri Lanka. To achieve this purpose, a
total of sixty (N=60) subjects were selected in this present study. They were
divided into two equal groups. Each namely Government schools (n=30) and
Private schools (n=30). Subjects were selected using a random sampling method
and the age range is 25-50 years. The perceived stress Questionnaire (PCQ) was
used as the method for collecting data in this comparative study. The data were
analysed and compared with the help of statistical procedure SPSS Version 26
using one-way ANOVA which included mean, and standard deviation with a
significant level of 0.05. The statistical analysis indicated a significant difference
in mean mental stress scores between government school physical education
teachers (63.40) and private school physical education teachers (92.97)
According to the research findings. On average, private schools have a higher
mean score on both measures compared to government schools, and there is a
significant difference in scores between the two groups. Therefore, it can be
concluded that physical education teachers at government schools have less
mental stress than private school physical education teachers. These findings may
contribute to new discoveries in the fields of physical education and sports, and
highlight the mental stress experienced by physical education teachers in
government and private schools. |
