| Descripción: | Teaching anxiety is prevalent among professors. However, there is little research examining the relationship between personality and teaching anxiety in this population. The current study examines how different types of in-class behaviour are related to teaching anxiety and personality. Higher neuroticism and lower extraversion are related to higher levels of teaching anxiety. Professors with high neuroticism employ in-class strategies such as student-to-student discussion and group work, which may help to diminish the levels of anxiety by diverting attention away from the instructor. Personality is an important factor to consider when examining the relationship between teaching anxiety and specific strategies used within the classroom. In particular, understanding the role of personality characteristics would allow the professor to adjust coping strategies that may be important to circumventing or minimizing anxiety-provoking situations that may arise. L’anxiété durant l’enseignement est très répandue parmi les professeurs. Toutefois, il y a peu de recherche qui examine la relation entre la personnalité et l’anxiété durant l’enseignement. L’étude courante examine comment différents types de comportements en classe sont reliés à l’anxiété de l’enseignement et à la personnalité. Un taux élevé de neurasthénie et un taux bas d’extraversion sont reliés à un taux élevé d’anxiété face à l’enseignement. Les professeurs ayant un haut taux de neurasthénie emploient en classe des stratégies telles que discussions entre étudiants et travail de groupes, qui peuvent aider à diminuer le degré d’anxiété en portant l’attention loin de l’instructeur. La personnalité est un important facteur à considérer quand on examine la relation entre l’anxiété de l’enseignement et les stratégies spécifiques utilisées dans les classes. En particulier, la compréhension du rôle que les caractéristiques de personnalité jouent, permettrait au professeur d’ajuster les stratégies d’adaptation qui pourraient être utilisées pour contourner ou minimiser les situations d’anxiété qui pourraient se présenter. |
