Resilient Teaching
Academic Continuity and Teaching Resilience - what do we mean by resilience?
Resilience is a well-known concept but is used differently across the disciplines. In psychology, it is how individuals respond to a psychologically disruptive event (e.g., Bonanno et al. 2010). In education, it is how an individual is able to learn through adversity (e.g., Downey 2008). In the disaster risk reduction realm, it is how individuals and communities maintain or return to ‘normal functions’ after a crisis (e.g., McManus et al 2007). In this work, we define resilience as the ability of academics to utilise core strategies that enable them to continue L&T during a long-term disruption, such as a disaster (known here as: resilience to disruption).
