Looking After Teachers and Students’ Well-Being in Remote Teaching Times

Sat, Nov 6, 19:30-19:50 Asia/Seoul Room RM

When remote teaching comes unexpectedly, some teachers and some students might find it challenging to adapt to it. Switching suddenly from one educational model to another might entail overwhelming situations that, undoubtedly, affect teachers and students' performance in the distance. So, how to nurture physical and mental well-being in remote teaching times at basic and higher education levels? This presentation intends to share with attendees both, the results that an action-research study carried out at teacher training college and secondary education levels provided during the pandemic of COVID-19, and some practical ideas to be replicated in different contexts. This study was done, first, by applying some actions to pre-service teachers and some educators at Escuela Normal de Amecameca in the State of Mexico, Mexico, and then, by having volunteer teachers from some secondary schools in the area apply some to themselves as well as to their students.
