Prevention of Children’s Burnout at School through the Tutoring and Guidance Process. A Structural Equation Model Analysis Expósito López, Jorge Chacón Cuberos, Ramón Romero Díaz de la Guardia, José Javier Parejo Jiménez, Noelia Rodríguez Fernández, Sonia Estrada Vidal, Ligia Isabel Children’s burnout School burnout Tutoring Guidance Learning environment The school burnout of children, defined as physical and mental exhaustion due to a lack of adjustment to the educational context, constitutes a serious problem in contemporary education. Thus, the determination of the elements that influence it and the possible strategies for avoiding it are key in the process of improving children’s well-being. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 569 children aged 8 to 13 at eight primary education schools in Granada (Spain). With the aim of examining the association between the possible exhaustion of children and planned tutoring and guidance activities, a structural equation model (SEM) as the analytical technique was used. The results show good fit indices for the model (comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.955; normalised fit index (NFI) = 0.956; incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.946; root mean squared error approximation (RMSEA) = 0.089), which reflects the need for tutoring and guidance activities that are infused throughout the entire teaching process in order to preserve children’s well-being. 2021-02-12T11:19:27Z 2021-02-12T11:19:27Z 2020-11-27 journal article Expósito-López, J., Chacón-Cuberos, R., Romero-Díaz de la Guardia, J.
