ENRIQUEZ VILLOTA, María Fernanda  and  GARZON VELASQUEZ, Fernando. BURNOUT IN THE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE OF THE TEACHING OF PASTO. Univ. Salud [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.1, pp.50-66. ISSN 0124-7107.

The research aims to determine what relationship exists between the dimensions of pedagogical practice and the extent and dimensions of burnout presented by middle school teachers linked to educational institutions affiliated to CONACED located in the city limits of San Juan de Pasto by using a quantitative correlational descriptive research paradigm, analyzing a total of 152 teachers from 13 educational institutions from the city. The instruments used for the study were Maslash Scale for Burnout and the Travers and Cooper Inventory for the Pedagogical Practice. As a result, some questions could be answered like: Are the teachers affected by the syndrome of burnout? What is the level of burnout experienced by teachers and what is the dimension that most affects them? What is the relationship between these levels and dimensions with the different units of analysis of pedagogical practice? Responding to these concerns led to the conclusion that teachers have a medium level of burnout with leading scores in the dimensions of depersonalization and low personal accomplishment and a strong correlation with the dimension of pedagogical practice called relational demands and social conditions of work. These findings enrich the understanding of the different processes experienced in education and its relationship to the good life of one of its most important protagonists, the teacher.

Keywords : Burnout; educational practice.
