The Effect of well-being interventions on english language pre-service teachers' ability to cope with the challenges during their school practicum

This research explores the effect of a well-being intervention program on pre-service English language teachers' ability to cope with challenges during their school practicum. The primary goal is to assess how such interventions impact stress management and resilience in real teaching contexts. Ten senior pre-service teachers participated in the 14-week study, during which data were collected through focus group interviews before and after the intervention, daily self-report charts, and gratitude journals. The well-being of participants was assessed using the PERMA Profiler (Butler and Kern, 2016), which measures Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. The intervention focused on activities aimed to enhance these dimensions, with an emphasis on stress reduction and positive coping mechanisms. Results indicated that the intervention positively impacted participants' stress, emotional regulation, and resilience, as shown in daily reports. findings suggest integrating well-being programs in teacher education to foster professional resilience. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
