“…Refugee education commonly perceived as a crisis among teachers (Arar et al., 2018; Sağlam & İlksen‐Kanbur, 2017), however, teachers also had the ability to tackle challenges stemming from cultural differences (Bowles & Arnup, 2016; Damico, 2020; Greaves et al., 2020). In this regard, psychological resilience which is defined as the ability to bounce back from adverse experiences (Connor & Davidson, 2003) and has crucial importance in education processes to overcome challenges related to cultural differences (Greaves et al., 2020). Past studies showed that teachers’ psychological resilience was positively related to psychologically positive outcomes (Gu, 2014; Gunnestad, 2003; Jennings 2019).…”

“…In the long run, such a high level of effort to provide culturally sensitive education can deplete the emotional and psychological resources of teachers and, consequently, render them more vulnerable to highly distressing experiences with regard to cultural issues (Gutentag et al, 2018; Sharifian, 2017). The aforementioned teaching processes causes distress among some teachers’ life (Greaves et al., 2020; Richardson, 2018; Sharifian, 2017), whereas other teachers show resilience and seem them to thrive (Bowles & Arnup, 2016; Damico, 2020). Past studies showed that psychological distress negatively influence teaching environment and often results in cultural insensitivity (Arar et al., 2018; Aydın & Kaya, 2019; Greaves et al., 2020; Richardson, 2018).…”

In the current environment of higher education, universities face the challenge of fostering resilience in graduate students, a crucial element for their academic success and personal development. This study focuses on analyzing the factors that contribute to resilience in graduate students at the State University of Milagro (UNEMI). A mixed-methodological approach was used, integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses of data collected through questionnaires applied to students from three different master's programs. The research, exploratory and descriptive in nature, adopted a non-experimental and cross-sectional design, which allowed for data collection at a specific point in time, without altering variables. The sample consisted of 733 students, utilizing a detailed questionnaire and qualitative analyses for in-depth interpretation. The electronic distribution of the questionnaires facilitated broad participation. The results, structured into seven subscales, revealed significant variations in student experiences across different disciplines. These differences underline the need for educational policies tailored to the specific characteristics of each field of study. Subtle but important differences in the perception of resilience and well-being between genders were observed, highlighting the importance of more inclusive educational approaches. Factorial analysis provided a detailed view of how various factors impact aspects such as health, well-being, motivation, and student satisfaction. It is concluded that this holistic approach is key to understanding the complexity of the university experience and developing educational strategies that promote comprehensive and enriching learning.

“…However, the field has primarily focused on the intervention of international actors (Lerch 2017), and scholars have warned that the role of local education actors in conflict is not always benign (Bush and Saltarelli 2000;Davies 2010;Burde 2014). In recent years, the education in emergencies (EiE) community has started to place more emphasis on resilience in war-affected communities (Abu-Amsha and Armstrong 2018; Greaves et al 2020). A recent review article found that the growing focus on resilience comes at the expense of a transformative view of education in emergencies (Shah et al 2020).…”

This article analyzes education activists' resilience in emergencies, building on life story interviews with Syrians who engaged in civil society initiatives for schooling in the aftermath of the 2011 uprising. It investigates the meaning that education acquires under extreme adversity and how it inspires individuals to act. Finding that these activists think of education as a means to resist authoritarianism and transform society, the article brings the change agendas of local education actors to the fore. It concludes that resilience can be the extension of political purpose. The article conceptualizes education as a vehicle of resistance, foregrounding how temporal projections enable individuals to maintain belief in their capability to enact changes. The activists make connections between their own experiences in school, thoughts about the future, and the reasons they mobilize for education. Working with time is a potent enabler when, objectively, the situation is deteriorating.
