Emergency and post-emergency situations Educational and teaching model

Abstract

Disasters, crises and catastrophes (floods, earthquakes, industrial accidents) require special logistic, health, psychological, educational and social intervention.

Important areas of research in teaching during emergency and post-emergency situations - with the aim of improving education and learning methods for  students who face the risk of psychological suffering and consequent academic failure - focuses on  resilient subjects who succeed in studying despite the presence of adverse and particularly stressful conditions. Definitions of resiliency are discussed and prominent studies are examined. It has been determined that resiliency is necessary for students at risk of academic failure. This paper aims at outlining aspects of learning and studying in emergency/critical situations and defining an educational and teaching intervention model to be adopted under such conditions.
