Description

Kaur and co-authors design a method to measure fatigue in teachers of Suggestopedia, a Bulgarian-born teaching approach. About a third of teachers report work-related fatigue, a heavy load for the profession. Suggestopedia claims mental and cognitive benefits for teachers and students alike. Hard evidence for those claims is thin. The protocol pairs brain wave recording with psychological surveys. Fatigue shows in rising theta and alpha band power in resting EEG.

Brain waves are read before and after teaching sessions. Validated questionnaires add the teachers' own view of their fatigue. A control group anchors the comparison. The design aims to give the method's claims a fair scientific test.
