The study found that while monitoring can have positive effects, certain aspects, like digital attendance tracking, negatively impact teachers' performance and increase anxiety. The findings suggest that penalties like salary deductions for absence should be reconsidered. Mental stress from monitoring can lead to changes in teachers' diet or habits.
Monitoring has mixed impacts on teachers' performance and mental health. Teachers' performance decreases when digital attendance is taken. Teachers do not experience embarrassment when asked about professional skills, and their critical thinking is not negatively affected. Teachers' anxiety increases when digital attendance is taken. Female teachers' mental health is more disturbed by monitoring visits than male teachers.
Monitoring has a complex effect on primary school teachers. While it can motivate teachers, specific practices like digital attendance tracking can decrease performance and increase anxiety. The study concludes that the method of monitoring, particularly digital attendance, needs to be reviewed to mitigate negative impacts on teachers' mental health and performance.
