"העוגן, המצפן וההגה בתוך ים סוער": החוסן הערכי של החינוך החברתי-קהילתי בעת משבר הקורונה

This study was designed to explore the coping resources of the social-community education (SCE) teams, who continued social pedagogical activities during the COVID-19 crisis. An online open questionnaire was filled in by 69 SCE instructors (61 women, 8 men) who are responsible for creating a social –alongside an educational – agenda. Based on the salutogenic theory the analysis revealed the resilience of SCE teams as a sense of coherence resulting from comprehensibility, meaningfulness and manageability characterized by social involvement, creativity, flexible pedagogy, continuity and availability of contents, team partnership and student participation. The analysis ofthe metaphors illustrates that the sense of coherence converges along two dimensions: transcending self-enhancement versus self-transcendence, and openness to change versus conservation. This gave SCE’s coherence the meaning of moral resilience.The study has practical implications for broadening social pedagogy and the encounter between formal and non formal education, so that moral resilience will be shared by the entire educational team.
