Abstract (English)

This study examined the effectiveness of a Locus-of-Hope intervention in enhancing well-being among Filipino basic education teachers. Thirty-two teachers from a Catholic private school participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a waitlist control group. Participants completed the Locus-of-Hope Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Flourishing Scale, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. The intervention consisted of two 90-minute session focused on enhancing participants’ abilities to set goals, develop ways to achieve them, and sustain motivation and drive toward goal attainment. Results indicated significant increase in internal locus-of-hope and external-peer locus-of-hope among participants after undergoing the intervention. Additionally, participants demonstrated significant increase in levels of flourishing and positive affect following the intervention. These findings suggest that a Locus-of-Hope intervention may be an effective approach for promoting well-being among teachers.

Abstract (Filipino)

Sinuri ng pag-aaral na ito ang pagiging epektibo ng isang Locus-of-Hope na interbensyon sa pagpapabuti ng kagalingan (well-being) ng mga Pilipinong guro sa batayang edukasyon (basic education). Tatlumpu't dalawang guro mula sa isang pribadong paaralang Katoliko ang lumahok sa pag-aaral. Random silang itinalaga sa dalawang pangkat: ang treatment group o ang waitlist control group. Kinumpleto ng mga guro ang Locus-of-Hope Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Flourishing Scale, at ang Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Ang interbensyon ay binubuo ng dalawang 90-minutong sesyon na naglalayong pagbutihin ang kakayahan ng mga guro na magtakda ng mga layunin, bumuo ng mga paraan upang maabot ang mga ito, at magpanatili ng motibasyon at sigasig tungo sa pag-abot ng layunin. Ipinakita ng mga resulta ang makabuluhang pagtaas sa internal locus-of-hope at external-peer locus-of-hope ng mga guro matapos lumahok sa interbensyon. Bukod dito, nagpakita rin ang mga guro ng makabuluhang pagtaas sa flourishing at positive affect kasunod ng interbensyon. Ipinapakita ng mga natuklasang ito na ang isang Locus-of-Hope ng interbensyon ay maaaring maging isang epektibong pamamaraan para sa pagtataguyod ng kagalingan (well-being) ng mga guro.
