Teaching Competency And Teacher Resilience: A Study On Their Role In Shaping Holistic Student Development

Abstract

Teachers are critical in determining students' academic achievement and overall well-being. In addition to teaching academic content, they have a strong impact on students' resilience and self-efficacy—two key psychological factors that influence their capacity to cope with adversity and trust themselves. This study examines the correlation between secondary school teachers' teaching competence and their ability to develop students' resilience and self-efficacy. Based on Bandura's (1997) and Masten's (2001) theoretical models, the present study looks into how teachers who are well-prepared and competent can strengthen students' socio-emotional adjustment and intellectual development. The study is in harmony with the guidelines of the National Curriculum Framework (2005) and the National Council for Teacher Education (1998), where high-quality teacher education and professional development are highly emphasized. Findings point to the urgent necessity for qualified teachers to develop supportive learning environments that foster students' adaptive abilities and confidence. This study emphasizes the vital investment in teacher education as a strategy to ensure the future of education and national development
