“…The individual weekly TARGET working time was calculated based on the teaching obligation and then the difference between the TARGET and ACTUAL working time for each teacher was determined. A TARGET working time for full-time teachers of 46.4 h per week was assumed according to Mußmann et al ( 61 ). This number of hours is considered the imputed “standard working time” during school hours.…”

“…The “standard working time” for full-time teachers of 46.4 h/week ( 61 ) is exceeded by 15% of all part-time teachers, whereby the percentage of the excess decreases with decreasing teaching obligation (PTG max : 30%, PTG high : 20%, PTG med : 8%, PTG low : 2%, d = 0.525 – large effect). Gender and age had no significant influence on this result ( p > 0.05).…”

ObjectiveMany secondary school teachers work part-time in order to cope with the high workload and to remain as healthy as possible until regular retirement. However, due to the acute shortage of teachers, the increase in the teaching obligation for part-time teachers (PTT) has become a topic of discussion in Germany. Whether a reduction in teaching hours is associated with benefits for mental health has not yet become evident. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between the real working hours of PTT and their mental health as well as individual pension prognosis.MethodsThe cross-sectional study included 5,905 PTT at German upper secondary schools (female proportion: 81%, average age: 44 ± 9 years) who logged their working hours over four weeks. Four part-time groups (PTG) were formed based on the proportion of a full-time position worked: maximum (<100–90% = PTGmax – reference group – 17%), high (<90–75% = PTGhigh – 34%), medium (<75–50% = PTGmed – 40%) and low (<50% = PTGlow – 9%) teaching commitment. These groups were compared in terms of their average weekly working hours, mental health (inability to recover, risk of burnout) and predicted retirement age.ResultsThe contractually agreed working time is exceeded to a relevant extent for PTT. The extent of unpaid overtime increases significantly the lower the teaching obligation is and lies on average between −0.4 (PTGmax) and 7.3 (PTGlow) hours/week. A reduction in teaching hours is neither related to the mental health of teachers nor to their decision to retire early (42%) or regularly (58%). However, predicted retirement is mainly explained by mental health status, gender and age (variance explanation: 24%, OR of predictors: maximum 2.1). One third of PTT reported inability to recover, 47% burnout symptoms and 3% a burnout syndrome.ConclusionMental health is also a risk for PTT; reducing teaching hours alone does not improve it. However, good mental health increases the chance of regular retirement. Therefore, instead of a legal obligation, PTT should be encouraged to increase the number of teaching hours voluntarily in order to counteract the general shortage of teachers.

“…Mehr als zwei Jahre nach Ausbruch der Pandemie wurden deutliche Fortschritte in vielen Ländern etwa bei der Ausstattung der Schulen mit Endgeräten, bei der Einführung von Lernmanagementsystemen (LMS) und beim WLAN-Ausbau gemacht, wenngleich noch lange nicht alle Schulen über die nötigen Standards verfügen (vgl. Mußmann et al 2021). Wohl noch wichtiger ist die veränderte Einstellung vieler Lehrkräfte, die durch ihre Erfahrungen einerseits Scheu vor digitalen Medien abgebaut und andererseits deren Potentiale zur Unterstützung von Lern-und Arbeitsabläufen zu schätzen gelernt haben (vgl.…”

“…Wohl noch wichtiger ist die veränderte Einstellung vieler Lehrkräfte, die durch ihre Erfahrungen einerseits Scheu vor digitalen Medien abgebaut und andererseits deren Potentiale zur Unterstützung von Lern-und Arbeitsabläufen zu schätzen gelernt haben (vgl. Mußmann et al 2021). Diese Lehrkräfte möchten ihre neu angeeigneten digitalen Kompetenzen auch zur Erweiterung ihres Unterrichts in der Schule nutzen und wünschen sich hierfür neben der erforderlichen Ausstattung vor allem schulpraktische Anregungen und Zeit zur Weiterbildung (vgl.…”
