This study examined profiles of teachers’ resilience and work burnout using a sample of 331 Finnish elementary school teachers (79% female) who filled out an online questionnaire in the spring of 2022. 

Pedagogical training often aims to solicit changes in teachers’ pedagogical behaviour. However, previous studies have demonstrated that these endeavours are time-consuming and challenging.

Despite theoretical knowledge being an important source for well-founded teaching decisions, student teachers often struggle to put this knowledge into practice. One way to close this theory-practice gap could be digital teaching simulation games that enable theory-use in authentic critical teaching situation.
