"Social Pedagogy and Empowerment of the school community by utilizing Inquiry Based Learning and supporting Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)".
Summary:
The continuous changes in the education of the 21st century and in the rapid evolution of the society has created new, more demanding needs of our society. Through these needs, education acquires an even more necessary role in the life and development of children. Economic crises both globally and nationally combined with changes in social structures are leading our society increasingly to the need to create an education that will help students of all ages and create mentally resilient children.
This education must create the necessary conditions in which students will be able to acquire the appropriate skills to deal with any social problem they will face. The science of Social Pedagogy has as its fundamental priority the substantial and complete treatment of social pedagogical problems. Through theory, a special way of thinking emerges with a specific methodology, which guides socio-pedagogical actions.
Through the activities of Social Pedagogy, students are empowered with skills such as cooperation and communication, skills necessary for the creation of the active citizen of the 21st century. Through all the socio-pedagogical activities, all the social and emotional needs of the students are highlighted and the teacher is now ready to contribute to their smooth treatment.
The purpose of the PhD dissertation was to study the impact of various socio-pedagogical programs and interventions on the empowerment of the school community, especially in primary education, through the utilization of the Inquiry Based Learning and the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
In the theoretical part of the present dissertation, reference is made to the theoretical framework of the science of Social Pedagogy, presenting the basic principles on which it is governed.
In the research part, the methodology followed and the statistical analysis of the research results are developed as they emerged from the answers of the students of Primary Education, to questionnaires that we provided.
The results of the research show that the socio-pedagogical intervention that was carried out leads the students to the promotion of Mental Resilience in all areas. The six characteristics of Mental Resilience, as presented and investigated, confirmed its positive development through the contribution of socio-pedagogical programs.
At the same time, the common research elements between Mental Resilience and Emotional Intelligence emerged. The use of Inquiry Based Learning helped the structure of socio-pedagogical actions. Finally, the integration of ICT has contributed positively to the effective cooperation of students with each other and with the teacher.
