Abstract
The kindergarten teacher is the backbone of the educational process in the kindergarten, as the kindergarten
programs and the achievement of their goals depend on a teacher who is aware of the requirements of
childhood and is aware of her role in education. And its relationship to the marital status variable (married,
unmarried), the role burden and its relationship to the variable length of service, and to achieve these goals,
the researcher built the role burden scale, which was applied to the research sample of (300) female teachers
who were randomly selected from the six Baghdad education directorate on both sides of Karkh and Rusafa.
And the researcher extracted the psychometric properties of the scale by means of indicators (honesty,
stability), and the researcher used the statistical program (SPSS) in extracting statistical treatments (t-test,
analysis of variance, alpha-Cronbach equation, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, Pearson correlation
coefficient).
The researcher reached the following results:
1-The research sample has an average level of role burden.
2-There is no difference in the burden of the role according to the marital status variable (married,
unmarried).
3-There is no difference in the burden of the role according to the variable (duration of service)
The Problem of the Study;
The Kindergarten teacher is the backbone of the educational process in the Kindergarten. She bears the
greatest burden in achieving the message of the Kindergarten and the success of the teacher in her mission at
this important, difficult and critical stage of the child’s life. Technical communication with parents,
curriculum planning and other roles may directly affect the formation of the educational output at this stage.
