Adaptation and Mental Resilience of Children, Parents, in Greek Kindergarten Schools During the New Era of Pandemic Covid-19. Teachers' Views

Abstract

The pandemic of Covid-19 has invaded in our lives, with multiple and multidimensional challenges. During the close of school units in Greece at March, teachers were initially used types of distance education, while with the opening of the schools during June they had to face issues, such as the separation of classes, the observance of distances, the use of medical mask, experiencing a new, unprecedented situation. In this paper, reference will be made to key issues of adaptation and mental resilience of children and adults. Then a research carried out will be presented in schools of Primary Education of Athens during the period of June and reopening of school units and teacher’s views on the adaptation of children and parents.

Greek teachers' resilience levels during the COVID‐19 pandemic lockdown and its association with attitudes towards emergency remote teaching and perceived stress

“…The few available studies on the distance education practices of Greek teachers during the COVID‐19 pandemic suggest that despite the sudden shift to a pure distance learning mode they managed to respond successfully to the challenge (Nikiforos et al, 2020). Initially, Greek preschool teachers adopted mainly asynchronous forms of distance education to maintain the communication with their students and support their students (Foti, 2020). At a later stage, they adopted synchronous forms of distance teaching with technical problems such as limited resources, limited support for children at home and limited experience of using information communication technology emerging as important obstacles to overcome (Nikolopoulou, 2022).…”

Educational Robotics and Computational Thinking in Early Childhood - Linking Theory to Practice With St(r)eam Learning Scenarios

“…3) which is an attractive programmable floor robot for young children that is an easy way of introducing programming into the classroom and, its flexible nature also means that it can be used with children up to 8 years old and can help develop other areas of the curriculum in addition to ICT. Beebot is programmed with on-board buttons and can be programmed to move precisely in space by moving forward, backward, turning left and right while its simple and child-friendly layout makes it a perfect starting point for teaching control, direction (orientation) and programming language to young children (Foti, 2018, 2020, Foti, Rellia, 2020. Many schools have found that the Bee-Bot can help children develop computational thinking skills and/or reinforce concepts that other resources or methods do not use.…”

“…The first STREAM Learning Scenario that follows relates to the Natural Sciences and specifically the Time of Year Title: "Seasons of the year" (Foti, 2020). Description Subject: Natural sciences Subject/Study module: Seasons Goal: To learn the seasons of the year Summary: Students navigate with the Bee-Bot at the epoch-in-place, either on a cardboard (in dimensions 6 by 15cm ) or on a transparent grid placed in images by those epochs (image 1).…”

Pedagoške Implikacije Razvoja Rezilijentnosti Djece Pri Uključivanju U Vrtić Tokom Pandemije U Sloveniji I Bih

“…3) Emocionalna regulacija kao bitan preduslov za pružanje podrške najmlađima u stresnim situacijama (Kruger i Reddemann, 2013;Profaca i Arambašić, 2009) uočava se u izjavama vaspitača. Istražujući adaptaciju djece na vrtić i školu u doba COVID-19 Foti (2021) uviđa potrebu adaptacije ne samo djece, nego i odraslih bitnih za dijete na novonastalu situaciju. Iz izjava slovenačkih i bosanskohercegovačkih vaspitača primjećuje se dobra pripremljenost i prilagodljivost za novonastalu situaciju u vrijeme pandemije COVID 19, što je blisko rezultatima istraživanja u Srbiji (Stoiljković, 2020).…”
