Hubungan Stres Guru dengan Teacher Efficacy pada Guru di SMK Negeri 6 Kota Medan

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between teacher stress and teacher efficacy in teachers at SMK Negeri 6 Medan City. Teachers are the spearhead in the education process, and teacher efficacy or teacher confidence in their ability to teach greatly influences the success of the learning process. However, in practice, teachers often face high work pressure, such as administrative burdens, student behavioral challenges, and limited facilities that can cause stress. The subjects of the study were 68 active teachers at SMK Negeri 6 Medan City who were taken using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were the teacher stress scale and the teacher efficacy scale. The results of data analysis using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test showed that there was a significant negative relationship between teacher stress and teacher efficacy. The results showed that the coefficient (rxy) = 0.72 was obtained with a p value of 0.01 (p <0.05). This means that the higher the level of stress experienced by teachers, the lower their level of efficacy in teaching.
