Building Resilience in Future Teachers
In today’s dynamic education system, teachers need more than just subject-specific knowledge; they also require cross-disciplinary skills, including crucial socio-emotional abilities like resilience. Resilience is a key competency that enables teachers to adapt effectively to challenges and changes within their profession. Resilient teachers are better prepared to handle difficult situations and are less likely to leave the teaching field.
Although the importance of resilience in teaching is widely acknowledged, there remains limited understanding of effective strategies to nurture this skill. Digital learning environments designed with media pedagogical and media didactic principles provide promising opportunities. These platforms offer flexible, personalized, and interactive learning experiences where teachers can safely explore and reflect on resilience strategies.
By integrating resilience development with media-didactic design, we aim to create an online learning platform that is both content-rich and methodologically tailored to the specific needs of future educators.
