This study examines the effects of mindfulness training on job stress, burnout, and teacher efficacy for middle school and high school teachers. For this study, twenty-four middle school and high school teachers were divided into experimental and control groups. Data analysis was performed using a Mixed ANOVA for teacher's job stress, burnout, and teacher efficacy according to pre-training, post-training and delayed post-training periods. As a result, we found support for time interval and between-group interaction effects for all the dependent variables. In order to investigate any delayed effects, a t-test was performed to analyze measurements taken one month after the completion of training period. The delayed post-training results indicated a significant effect between pre and post scores, meaning the program effects were sustained. Therefore, this study indicates that the mindfulness training program implemented in this research is an effective method for preventing job stress and burnout, as well as influencing the efficiency of work performance for middle school and high school teachers.

In this work we present a study undertaken with in-service mathematics teachers of primary and secondary school where we describe and analyze the didactical competences needed to implement an innovative design in geometry applying Van Hiele's models. The relationship between such competences and an ideal teacher profile is also studied. Teachers' epistemology is established in terms of didactical competences and we can see that this epistemology is an element that helps us understand the difficulties that teachers face in practice when implementing an innovative curriculum, in this case, geometry based on the Van Hiele theory.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to explore the moderating role of children's verbal ability in the relation between shyness and teacher-child relationships. Methods: Participants were 200 children, their mothers, and their kindergarten teachers. Children's shyness was rated by their mothers and teachers, and children's verbal ability was measured using the language problem solving ability test. And teachers completed a rating scale in order to examine the teacher-child relationship. The collected data were analyzed using correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results: Children's shyness had a negative relation to close teacher-child relationships. And child's verbal ability was significantly related to teacher-child relationships. Hierachical regression analysis indicted to the interaction of child's shyness and verbal ability predicted close teacher-child relationships. Children's shyness, those who demonstrated the lowest level of child's verbal ability, was significantly associated with close teacher-child relationships. Children's shyness had no significant relation to close teacher-child relationships, especially for the highest level of children's verbal ability. Conclusion/Implications: We suggested that verbal ability training for children might be valuable for shy children in order to buffer the link between shyness and teacher-child relationships.
