The Relationship Between Engagement and Burnout Among Pre-schoolers’ in China

Abstract

This study looked into the relationship between students’ engagement and burnout in preschools in China. According to this study, there is a strong inverse relationship between engagement and burnout. Among them, the assumption of vigour and engagement is not accepted, and there is little correlation between them. The two factors which are dedication and absorption have a huge impact on engagement and the relationship between them is very significant. For burnout, the three factors have a very significant impact on burnout which are exhaustion, cynicism and efficacy. Finally, this study suggests that preschool teachers should find ways to make students engaged in learning and reduce burnout in order to improve Chinese pre-schoolers’ learning attitudes and effectiveness. Besides, teachers also should seek to control students’ exhaustion, cynicism and efficacy in order to create a positive learning environment and help students to develop active motivation for learning.
