Abstract

The transition from student to professional, particularly as a novice teacher, presents various adaptation challenges that impact psychological, social, and professional aspects. This study qualitatively analyses the adaptation journey of novice teachers using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach through thematic synthesis of literature. The gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world classroom practice results in psychological pressure, anxiety, and decreased self-confidence in the early years of their careers. The lack of institutional support and social networks often worsens novice teachers' resilience in facing the dynamics of the educational work environment. Institutional policies that favor mentoring programmers, continuous mentoring, and case-based training facilities have been found to strengthen the resilience and professional identity of new teachers. Support from school leaders, the application of educational technology, and the creation of a collaborative environment are crucial factors in maintaining the motivation and loyalty of young teachers. This study emphasizes the need for policy innovation based on real needs, strengthening of the applied curriculum, and regular monitoring of the mentoring system in all educational institutions. The results of this study are expected to be used as a reference for designing strategies for the training, recruitment, and sustainable career development of novice teachers for the sake of national educational resilience.
