Factors Influencing Teacher Resilience Based on a Threedimensional Framework: a Mini-review
Year: 2025
Type: review
Abstract: Teacher resilience is a crucial factor in shaping educators’ professional development and enhancing the quality of education at all levels. This review delves into the key elements that influence resilience among teachers. Using a framework that categorizes these factors into personal, interpersonal, and external dimensions, we analyze the essential components that enable educators to thrive in the face of adversity. The discussion highlights the evolution of resilience research, transitioning from a trait-based perspective to a socioecological and multidimensional approach. We examine the impact of personal factors such as self-efficacy, emotions, and teacher identity, as well as the importance of interpersonal relationships, including mentorship and support from family and friends. Additionally, we explore contextual factors, encompassing aspects of the teaching environment, school culture, and relevant policies and practices that contribute to the development of teacher resilience. This review presents the current state of research in this field, synthesizes a comprehensive understanding of teacher resilience, and offers actionable strategies for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to foster sustainable development within the teaching profession
