However, little research has investigated the impact of teacher training on pre-service teachers' occupational health and well-being. In the current study, we investigated the following research questions: 1) Are pre-service teachers' experiences in their placement associated with their experiences of occupational health (i.e., burnout, teaching efficacy, and commitment to the profession)? 2) Are pre-service teachers' experiences in their placement associated with their experiences of personal well-being (i.e., depression and flourishing)? Data from pre-service teachers' (N = 158) reports of their training experiences, occupational health, and personal well-being are presented. Regression models tested whether pre-service teachers' placement experiences were associated with occupational health and well-being. Placement satisfaction was positively associated with both teaching efficacy and commitment to the profession, with a marginal negative association with depression.","abstract_html":"Teachers' occupational health and well-being have implications for student outcomes such as academic achievement and social and emotional development (Braun, Schonert-Reichl, & Roeser, 2020).
