Özet
The responsibilities of teachers and students have been profoundly impacted by shifting attitudes in language instruction. Teachers’ role as mentors has changed to include encouragement of students’ flexibility and ingenuity. Within this context, the development of EFL teachers’ ecological agency and mindfulness in teaching has garnered increasing attention. Employing a Correlational Survey Research design, this research sought to explore the impact of mindfulness in teaching on EFL teachers’ ecological agency. Furthermore, it set out to examine the levels of mindfulness in teaching and ecological agency among EFL teachers. The study also sought to investigate if these teachers’ mindfulness in teaching and ecological agency vary based on age, gender, English majors, educational degree, and teaching experience. The study was carried out in Mersin, Turkey with 268 EFL teachers in state and private schools that work at the elementary, middle, and high schools levels. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used included a Personal Information Form, the Mindfulness in Teaching Scale (Frank et al., 2016), and the Teacher Ecological Agency Questionnaire (Ghamoushi et al., 2022). Quantitative data were analyzed via SPSS 27 by employing descriptive statistics, T-Test, One-Way ANOVA, and Simple Linear Regression Analysis. The results showed that mindfulness in teaching has an effect on teacher ecological agency in a positive way. The study found that EFL teachers ‘often’ exhibit mindfulness in teaching and they ‘usually’ demonstrate ecological agency. Finally, the findings emphasize that gender contributes to EFL teachers’ Intrapersonal Mindfulness.
