Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the current situation of the sources of teachers' stress under the Chinese double-reduction policy. We conducted one-on-one semi-structured in-depth interviews with five Elementary school front-line teachers and analyzed the interview results based on Colaizzi's seven-step method to distill four themes: "guaranteeing teaching quality, excessive workload, parental absence and anxiety, and difficulties in policy implementation", and proposed coping strategies to reduce teachers' occupational stress and promote the implementation of the double-reduction policy.

Keywords
