Abstract
Abstract: The article highlights the challenges teachers face during the attestation process. It explores the causes of professional stress and the specific behaviours exhibited by teachers when undergoing attestation for conferring or confirmation of teaching degrees. The article aims to assess teachers' perceptions of the stress, generated by the attestation process by using various research methods and tools. It was found that factors underlying the attestation process include the development of professional competences, salary bonuses, recognition of professional merits by school management, improved quality of educational process, enhanced reputation among colleagues, parents, and students, and career advancement. Based on the analysis and interpretation of the investigation results, the author of the article offers suggestions on continuous professional development activities that can strengthen resilience against stressors during the attestation process.
