Technostress Level in Prospective Teachers at Higher Education Institution

Abstract

In the last two decades, most researchers have taken an interest to understand how technology affects negatively. It is extensively reported that techno stress is evoked due to technology among different groups like prospective teachers. This quantitative survey examined the technostress level of prospective teachers in the department of education using a validated technostress instrument. The findings of the study show that the used instrument was found valid to examine technostress with minor modifications and examining prospective teachers' moderate levels of technostress can affect their work performance in the class. The findings of the study found that final-year students have less technostress as compared to first-year students. Moreover, this study will be used as a potential reference in the context of Pakistan to know that if there is advanced technology then there might be the existence of technostress. This research study will provide awareness to the management of HEIs to overcome technostress among prospective teachers.
