School as a space for fostering resilience

This study is primarily focused on analysing teachers' perceptions of the school's role as an environment conducive to developing student resilience. To achieve this, interviews were conducted in 24 state and grant-aided schools, revealing a broad consensus on the need to promote resilience within the educational setting. Given the complexity of the topic and the global nature of the study’s objectives, a mixed, descriptive-comprehensive, and action-oriented approach was applied, grounded in the complementarity of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Two data collection instruments were designed, validated, and implemented: EDINRES+D (interview with school leaders) and EDINRES+M (interview with teachers). The main conclusions emphasize the importance of educational institutions driving strategies and teacher training aimed at creating resilient environments.
