Abstract
This study examines pre-service teachers’ experiences of stress and stress-mitigating resources during the remote learning period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were collected in January 2022 using an online questionnaire (N=76). Most of the respondents (74 %) were second-year students who had been studying mainly remotely due to the pandemic. The results of this mixed-methods study indicated that the pre-service teachers had experienced stress, i.e., exhaustion and anxiety. Women experienced more anxiety and exhaustion than men. When examining associations between different factors related to the stress and resources, we found that time and study environment management as well as effort regulation correlated moderately with the different dimensions of study engagement. The qualitative analysis of the students’ open-ended responses shed more light on aspects that caused stress for the pre-service teachers but also on factors that were perceived as resources during the remote studies. Teacher education can play an important role supporting pre-service teachers in strengthening their resources and offering opportunities for building communities, active participation and informal encounters.
