Abstract: Several studies by internationally acclaimed researchers had confirmed that teachers continue to experience stress and burnout, which threaten the monitoring of preservice teachers during their teaching practice. Some of the reasons attributed to this include the increase in the supervision workload among teachers, lack of self-care, and lack of resources, among others. Although few studies had investigated how teachers experience different forms of stress at different levels, some of them failed to identify the forms and causes of stress and burnout among preservice teachers' supervisors, who themselves are teachers. On this note, this scoping review aimed at reporting the emerging evidence on stress and burnout among preservice teachers' supervisors. The researcher searched through ERIC, EBSCO, SciELO, SCOPUS, MEDLINE (Database of the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) and APA (PsycINFO on Allied Health Literature). A comprehensive literature search was carried out from January to March 2025 on stress and burnout among preservice teachers' supervisors. Fifteen studies met the following criteria: (a) focused on stress and burnout (SB); (b) The prevalence of stress among preservice teacher' supervisors; (c) Prevalence of burnout among teachers and preservice teachers' supervisors, (f) published articles from the period 2014-2024. The included studies met the quality control standards for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-analysis and Scoping review (PRISMA-Scr). The outcome of the study reveals that of the 11,141 participants reported by the scoping review (15 articles), 3,733 participants, which is 33.5%, show that there are stress and burnout among teachers in Turkey. Moreover, 4,117 participants from Spain, which is equivalent to 37% of the whole countries exhibit stress as well. The trending evidence that endorses the result of the study shows that there is stress and burnout among teachers even around the world.
