المرونة النفسية وعلاقتها بمفهوم الذات لدى معلمات الحلقة الأولى بمدارس ولاية إزكي بمحافظة الداخلية في سلطنة عمان
The study explored the concept of psychological resilience and its relationship with self-concept among female cycle one school teachers in the wilayat of Izki in Al-Dakhiliya governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. In particular, it aimed to determine the levels of both psychological resilience and self-concept among these teachers and whether there is any statistically signification correlation between the two concepts. The study also investigated statistically significant differences in the level of self-concept that can be attributed to the variables of age and academic qualification. In addition, it explored the degree of psychological resilience’s contribution to predicting the level of self-concept. The study community consisted of (138) female teacher drawn from cycle one schools in the wilayat. The study used the descriptive correlative approach. The key research findings include: 1) There is a high level of psychological resilience among teachers of the first cycle schools in the wilayat of Izki. 2) There is an overall high level of self-concept among the study sample. 3) There is a significant positive correlation between psychological resilience and self-concept at the significance level of (α ≥0.05). 4) There are no statistically significant differences in the overall means of self-concept that can be attributed to the variable of age among the study sample. However, there are statistically significant differences at the significance level of (≥α 0.05) in the sample’s overall means of self-concept that can be attributed to the variable of academic qualification. These differences were in favour of teachers who hold a master’s degree or higher. 5) Psychological resilience explains (2.8%) of the total variance of self-concept. The results of the current study were discussed and interpreted in the light of the findings of some previous research. The study concluded by drawing some recommendations. (Author’s abstract)
