Abstract

This research aims to determine stress due to COVID-19 in high school teachers of the 16 de Abril School of the Azogues canton. A non-experimental methodology was used, utilizing a quantitative approach. The survey technique was used and a questionnaire containing 18 questions with the Likert scale (as an instrument) was administered to 15 teachers. The data was analyzed using the JASPS program and underwent reliability analysis, validated through Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The questionnaire included ten questions were nonparametric for the cross-sectional cohort and eight parametric questions for the longitudinal cohort. The results showed that teachers indeed experienced work-related stress, which had secondary effects, leading the lower academic performance in students. The research has shown that the cause of work-related stress was teachers’ lack of preparedness for synchronous or virtual classes and the excessive number of students who had no control either by parents or caregivers. These factores contributed to a lack of interest, attention in interleading, and attention on the competencies of the different subjects, thereby totally impeding significant learning.
