Comparative Analysis of Teachers’ Assessments on the Traditional and Digital Educational Activities in a Resilient School

Abstract

This research aims to explore the potential for enhancing students’ motivation and practical skills within a resilient learning environment through digital technologies. The concept of the unity of education and nature was employed to examine the theoretical foundations of a school’s functioning regarding external conditions that influence overall learning productivity. The practical part of the research involved the application of a quasi-experimental method in which three schools in the Central District of the Russian Federation were selected. General sample consists of 354 people. The primary research method employed was the surveying of the teachers and administration of these educational establishments. The analysis was based on the random sampling approach. The findings revealed that a regular school exhibits slightly more democratic characteristics: 60% of teachers in the resilient school and 70% in the regular school adhere to the protocol-based teaching methodology. Of utmost importance is the indicator of the significance of integrating digital technologies into the educational process. A total of 78% of teachers confirmed the necessity of this measure, while 80% agreed that it would enhance student motivation. This study will contribute to the formulation of essential principles to advance studying process in resilient schools in the future, paying additional attention to the question of the need of learning process digitalization, as 90% of teachers believe in its effectiveness. For instance, this could involve the implementation of specialized educational platforms and applications (Google classroom, Kahoot, Educative Education World Wide, etc.) on the seminars and practical lessons. The results also can be used by the government to implement better schools programs in accordance with school sustainability aspects. Additionally, the question of the impact of a resilient environment on an individual’s success after receiving education (such as in job search and employment) remains an interesting and unexplored area for further experimentation.
