Purpose

The purpose of the current study was to explore the feeling of disappointment among teachers, their subjective definition of this feeling, the sources of their disappointment and its consequences.

Design/methodology/approach

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 Israeli teachers.

Findings

From an analysis of the teachers' accounts it was clear that teachers attribute great importance to the feeling of disappointment and consider it to be an inherent part of their work in school. Furthermore, their accounts provide insight into the importance of two main factors – the teachers' role partners and the educational system. These factors are perceived by the interviewees to have much influence on teachers' sense of disappointment, which ultimately leads to implications for daily life in school and for the teachers themselves.

Originality/value

The uniqueness of this study is reflected in both its theoretical and practical aspects. First, the aim of this study is to deepen the concept of disappointment within the educational context. Second, the importance of this study is in presenting the feeling of disappointment from an unexplored venue – the teachers' subjective perspective. Addressing these aspects may increase our understanding of emotions in education, in general, and help focus the discussion on teacher disappointment, in particular.

教师失望：主观定义、因素和后果

目的

本研究的目的是探讨教师的失望感、他们对这种感觉的主观定义、失望的来源及其后果。

设计/方法/方法

对 14 名以色列教师进行了半结构化访谈。

发现

从对教师的叙述的分析中可以明显看出，教师非常重视失望的感觉，并将其视为他们在学校工作的固有部分。此外，他们的叙述提供了对两个主要因素——教师角色伙伴和教育系统——的重要性的洞察。受访者认为这些因素对教师的失望感有很大影响，最终会影响到学校的日常生活和教师本身。

原创性/价值

本研究的独特性体现在其理论和实践两个方面。首先，本研究的目的是在教育背景下深化失望的概念。其次，这项研究的重要性在于从一个未探索的地方——教师的主观视角——呈现失望的感觉。解决这些方面可能会增加我们对教育中情绪的理解，尤其是有助于将讨论重点放在教师的失望上。
