- Teacher burnout can be a severe problem in higher education, as it can affect the quality of education. In 2022, we started a career planning course based on Stanford s Design Your Life course (BurnettB and EvansD 2016; 2018; 2020), supplemented with positive psychological exercises, for the teachers and researchers of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. 4 courses have taken place so far, in two types of organization (classic or intensive), with 53 participants. In the study below, we asked the previous participants to participate in a follow-up research, in which we asked about the usefulness of the course in terms of their well-being and burnout. We asked them for a subjective estimate in both areas and used an objective measurement. Their well-being was measured using the PERMA Questionnaire (ButlerJ and KernML 2016), and Maslach's Burnout Inventory (Maslach et al., 1996) was used to measure burnout. The PERMA Questionnaire was already known to them, as they filled it out at the beginning of the course and three months after the course, and it also showed positive results in the short-term follow-up (Authors 2023). One year later, based on the sample's responses (n=22), the course is particularly effective in terms of well-being, which is supported by medium and significant solid correlations. Based on this, we can conclude that the course is effective both in the short and long term, thus suitable for permanently improving the mental state of teaching colleagues.
