Human Values and Psychological Well-Being among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between Human Values and Psychological Well-being among Prospective Teachers. Human values play a vital role in shaping the personality, behavior, and professional ethics of future teachers, while psychological well-being contributes to their emotional stability, life satisfaction, and effective functioning. The study adopted the Normative Survey Method. A sample of 400 prospective teachers was selected from teacher education institutions using a simple random sampling technique. Standardized tools were employed to measure Human Values and Psychological Well-being. The collected data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The findings revealed that prospective teachers possessed a moderate level of Human Values and Psychological Well-being. No significant difference was found with respect to gender in Human Values and Psychological Well-being. Further, a positive and significant relationship was observed between Human Values and Psychological Well-being among Prospective Teachers. The study highlights the importance of promoting value-based education and psychological wellness in teacher education programmes to develop competent, responsible, and emotionally healthy future teachers.
