| Summary: | In Romania, the COVID-19 pandemic has interfered with education, besides other areas,
since March 2020. Schools and universities shifted from classroom to online teaching, and
the education system needed to adapt to the new form of organization.
The paper provides a study on how teachers from Romania dealt with professional
challenges, as part of a changing education system. The research aimed to analyse the impact
of professional changes on teaching in Romania, between March and June 2020 and to
identify the main predictors of work engagement, in the context of teleworking.
The research was performed on a sample of 400 teachers from Romania, representative for
the entire population of teachers from all Romanian forms of education, with a confidence
interval of 5% and a confidence level of 95%. We collected data based on scales and
indicators that were validated for the Romanian context and proposed a factorial model,
tested subsequently with confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) and structural equation
modelling (SEM).
The results show that perceived student engagement and motivation are major determinants
of work engagement in teaching. |
