Sažetak
Researches on teachers' stress have shown that stress is an important factor upon
which educational process depends (Kyriacou, 2001). In this article teachers in art
schools in the Republic of Croatia (N=148) were studied. The aim of this article is
to determine which are the sources of stress in teachers at elementary music and
dancing schools. Besides, one of the problems is to observe ways of teachers' coping
with stress as well as correlation with job satisfaction of teachers in art schools.
Teachers in art schools are mostly satisfied with their work despite the fact that
it is a very stressful profession. Sources of stress of teachers in art schools are to
some extent similar to sources of stress of the past researches on teachers. Teachers
mostly use coping strategies with stress directed to the problem such as problem
solving. A positive correlation of positive coping strategies with stress and job
satisfaction was also noticed and the highest correlation shows usage of positive
coping strategies with stress. A negative correlation of strategies directed to emotions
and job satisfaction such as evasion of coping with problems was also observed. The
results refer to particularities of art education and encourage for further researches.
