| Abstract: | This paper examines the critical role of resilience for pre-service teachers by exploring effective strategies for its development. It contributes to understanding the importance of resilience for new teachers to overcome daily challenges and navigate the ever-evolving demands of the teaching profession. Teacher resilience is the outcome of interactions between challenges and protective resources in a process involving teachers employing practical strategies to develop motivational, professional, emotional, social, and physical resilience. In this paper, we focus specifically on the development of social resilience. Our findings from interviews with 25 pre-service mathematics teachers participating in this research reveal that, despite the existence of some anti-resilient thinking, most participants attributed their experience of resilience to support from the context and the community surrounding them. |
