This study explored undergraduate student teachers experiences on psychosocial stressors,
how they resolve the stressors, and the level of utilization of college help or support resources.
A self-report questionnaire was administered to a total of 187 first year, second year and third
year student teachers (M=25 & SD=3.38) from Dar es Salaam University College of Education,
Tanzania. Regardless of gender, student teachers reported to have had high level of stressful
experiences to the extent of needing assistance. And the longer the students stay in the college
the more stressful experiences they are likely to encounter. Although students would most
often prefer face to face followed by making a telephone call in seeking for help, there is a low
utilization of formal college help services such as counseling compared to the informal sources
of help like fellow students. And a lack of awareness, ethical concerns, and cultural factors
emerged as the major barriers to help-seeking from the formal college sources of help. The
results of this study provide insight for developing a comprehensive and holistic intervention
programs that could buffer students from stress and its associated maladies. |
