Stress Effect Factors and Socio-pathological Phenomena in Teaching and Learning Environment

Abstract

Stress represents an inner human state in a positive or negative sense that can be considered a threat. From the researchers conducted in the Czech and Slovak Republic, it can be shown that adequate stress has a significant effect on brain activity. Stress in teaching and learning environment leads to the emergence and development of socio-pathological phenomena. Contributors focus on social, emotional and behaviour stress factors in pupils/students with an impact on the occurrence of socio-pathological phenomena and risk behaviours in the educational process. The main methods of realization of the empirical research were the questionnaire survey, the own structure of the contribution authors, the experiment method, the statistical method of the F-test of equivalence and the t-test with uneven dispersion. The authors of the paper further analysed the statements of teachers who reported the most frequent preferences of stress factors in students.
