SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPING PROFESSIONAL RESILIENCE IN PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS

Abstract

Although teacher resilience is now widely regarded as a capacity that can be fostered during initial teacher education, teacher educators often lack a coherent set of methodological resources for doing so. This article designs and substantiates the scientific and methodological support for developing professional resilience in pre-service teachers. Drawing on theoretical analysis of the literature and on pedagogical design, the article describes four interrelated blocks of such support: a content block (a modular programme integrated into pedagogical courses and practicum), a technological block (methods and forms of work matched to the components of resilience), a didactic block (a case bank, simulations, reflective tasks and an electronic portfolio) and a diagnostic block (criteria, levels and instruments). Requirements for the teacher educator and for the sequencing of support are formulated. The article is a design study: it presents a theoretically grounded methodological package and outlines how its effectiveness should be tested, without reporting experimental results.
