COSTELLA, Silvério; NOAL, Ingrid Kork  and  NAUJORKS, Maria Inês. Possibilities for teachers' well-being in the educational context. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.2, pp.457-468. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v38i2.226134.

The article reflects on the dissatisfaction of teachers and the possibilities for well-being in the educational context. The study was carried out at State schools in the Municipality of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Data was collected from meetings which presented what is emerging from teachers in terms of paths to well-being. The category of teachers' "dissatisfaction" initially appears as something external, in which teachers feel victims without having been subjects of their own choice, and therefore, exempt from responsibility. As the reflections progressed, an awareness emerged from the group in which the subjects recognized themselves as part of the process which generated the uneasiness, as subjects of their own choice. This group insight led to the beginning of a process of "healing", which if omitted, would damage personal health as well as the awareness that the lack of stress management strategies would prejudice the professional and existential project.

Keywords : Stress; Teacher; Education; Well-Being.
