Resumen
- español
  La enseñanza es un gran desafío para los docentes, ya que enfrentan demasiada presión en su profesión. Esto conduce al agotamiento. Por lo tanto, es fundamental detectar los problemas que afectan su agotamiento. Por ejemplo, es fundamental cultivar la resiliencia, que es la capacidad de persistir y hacer frente a las dificultades y adversidades en el proceso de enseñanza. Además, se ha demostrado que el bienestar de los educadores juega un papel fundamental en este proceso, por lo que este estudio intenta inspeccionar la importancia de estos temas en el contexto de la enseñanza de idiomas. El estudio involucró a 341 profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera, que aceptaron participar y recibieron tres cuestionarios. Se empleó el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales para estudiar el modelo estructural del concepto. Los resultados indicaron que la resiliencia de los docentes representó el 5,9% de la varianza en el agotamiento de los docentes, y el bienestar representó el 1,0% de la varianza en el agotamiento. Si bien cada uno de los dos conceptos tuvo un papel importante en el agotamiento, la resiliencia fue un mejor predictor del agotamiento que el bienestar.
