Description | The study describes different lifestyles of the female teachers at elementary schools (n=216). Based on research, 14 types of lifestyle have been identified and shown to be conditioned by the factors of environment, upbringing and self-improvement. It has been proved that the most frequently occurring lifestyles are those characterized as performance-oriented and reflective, while they are conditioned by the upbringing and self-education. The most of the other lifestyles have rather been formed by the environment factors. The research has shown that female teachers tend to choose a lifestyle optimally corresponding to the character of their profession and consciously form it. We consider the lifestyle as an important category within pedeutology; its study and formation should be given appropriate attention within the professional teacher training and career analysis. |
