Psychological Capital and Other Personal Resources of Instrumental Music Teachers in Music Schools: Towards a Model of Pedagogical Effectiveness

Kamila Hawrylak ORCID

Abstract

This article proposes an original framework for understanding the personal resources of instrumental music teachers as a determinant of their pedagogical effectiveness. The model includes the core components of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) - self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience - as well as three complementary resources: emotional intelligence, creativity, and reflectiveness. The selection of resources is based on the theory of Psychological Capital developed by F. Luthans, C. Youssef-Morgan, and B. J. Avolio, along with an analysis of pedagogical and psychological literature. In light of S. E. Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), the article considers the potential impact of these personal resources on the quality of the educational process in music schools.
