Abstract:
تتخذ المعلمة مكانة مهمة ورئيسية في النظام التعليمي لانها حجر الاساس والمسؤولة الاولى في تحقيق اهداف التربية والتعليم, فالمعلمة الكفء هي المعلمة التي اعدت اعدادا تربويا وتخصصا جيدا فضلا عن امتلاكها السمات التي تمكنها من التكيف مع المتغيرات التربوية | The role of the teacher in the educational system is important and essential because the teacher is considered a cornerstone in the process of reaching the designated goals of education. A competent teacher is defined as the teacher that has been professionally well prepared in addition to having all the attributes to enable her to be adapted with the possible changes in the educational process. A well prepared teacher is the teacher who will be able to become open - minded to all and every new concept in the surrounding society, and being aware of the new challenges and how to deal with them in a way that assures the consistency with the society to achieve the emotional reassurance which is one of the most important indications of the student’s psychological well - being plus it helps keep the teacher up - to - date and to deploy cleverness to benefit the educational entity. There is no doubt that the quality of the education service provided is solely dependent on the teacher as an asset and her ability to provide an effective approach in education and it is considered the most important component of the educational inputs and outputs. Therefore; an issue has been aroused while trying to find the relationship between the mindfulness and the emotional reassurance of the kindergarten teachers.The author of this research wasn’t able to find any previous study that discussed the mindfulness and its relationship with the emotional reassurance of kindergarten teachers, and that was the purpose of this research.The points that this research discussed are : • Mindfulness of kindergarten teachers.• Mindfulness of kindergarten teachers in public schools vs. private schools.• Mindfulness of kindergarten teachers depending on the marital status of the teacher.• Mindfulness of kindergarten teachers depending on the teacher’s seniority.• Emotional reassurance of kindergarten teachers.• Emotional reassurance of kindergarten teachers in public schools vs. private schools.• Emotional reassurance of kindergarten teachers depending on the marital status of the teacher.• Emotional reassurance of kindergarten teachers depending on the teacher’s seniority.• The relationship between the mindfulness and the emotional reassurance.The research covered information from teachers of both public and private kindergarten schools in Baghdad for the school year 2015 - 2016.The approach used in this research was to create two different measures; a mindfulness measure and an emotional reassurance measure. The measures have been built according to the scientific guidelines of building psychological measures. The first step was to identify the items of the mindfulness measure, which found to be 36. Then, the researcher adjusted these items to become 34 items. The next step was to analyze the items statistically by running a Psychometric Test in addition to remove three (3) unidentifiable items. The final number of items in the mindfulness measure was 31 identifiable and statistically significant items. Each item has three indices; Always Applicable, Somewhat Applicable and Not Applicable with a scale of three scores (from 1 to 3). The researcher then obtained each item’s score relation to the total score. The following step was to confirm the reliability of the measure using the Test - Retest method. The coefficient of reliability “r” found to be 0.79, which means that the measure is reliable. Additionally, Alpha Cronbach equation also has been used to determine the reliability of the measure which resulted in a coefficient of reliability “r” equal to 0.87.For the emotional reassurance measure, the researcher first identified 45 items and then readjusted these items to become 42 by exhibiting them to a group of examiners who found that three of the items are unidentifiable, while the rest 39 items are identifiable and statistically significant. Each item has three indices; Always Applicable, Somewhat Applicable and Not Applicable with a scale of three scores (from 1 to 3). The researcher then obtained each item’s score relation to the total score.Similar to the mindfulness measure, the reliability of the emotional reassurance measure was confirmed using the Test - Retest method to find the coefficient of reliability “r” equal to 0.85 and the reliability using Alpha Cronbach equation which was 0.90. Both numbers confirm that the measure is reliable.The measures of mindfulness and emotional reassurance were applied on a sample of 300 examinees (kindergarten teachers) from public and private schools were chosen using random sampling, and the conclusion could be listed as follows : • Generally, kindergarten teachers possess moderate mindfulness.• Public kindergarten school teachers possess a higher average of mindfulness than the private school teachers do.• Teacher’s mindfulness is irrelevant to the teacher’s marital status.• Teacher’s mindfulness is irrelevant to the teacher’s seniority.• Generally, kindergarten teachers possess moderate emotional reassurance.• Public kindergarten school teachers possess a higher level of emotional reassurance than the private school teachers do.• Teacher’s emotional reassurance is irrelevant to the teacher’s marital status.• Teacher’s emotional reassurance is irrelevant to the teacher’s seniority.• Mindfulness and emotional reassurance are positively related. As a result of this research, following are my recommendations
