Școala – structură rezilientă în spațiul rural: studiu de caz [Articol]

Abstract

Rural areas in the Republic of Moldova are undergoing irreversible transformations. Climate change, overexploitation and massive pollution of water, land and forest resources have caused serious changes in the ecological balance. The resilience capacities of villages are manifested by their ability to accumulate energy coming from outside, or from reactions caused by processes occurring within social units, without affecting the state of the natural environment and the interests of future generations. In our work, we applied methods charac teristic of trans-disciplinary research, which are based on documentary-historical analysis, interviewing and surveying respondents, obtaining and interpreting sociological and statis tical, qualitative and quantitative data. We were interested in following people over time, in seeing resilience as a stable trajectory of the healthy functioning of the social unit, after the intervention of adverse events, and to highlight the social and cultural factors, education and teaching, that condition elasticity, human flexibility in shock situations and respond to stressful experiences. The school is a social institution producing primary human capital. Currently, the school is in a new phase of its development, which corresponds to the efforts of society to establish a democratic regime, economic freedoms and radical changes in the legal system. During this period, the school proves powerless in the face of challenges. Conserva tive in its nature, the school continues to walk the beaten path for years, covering itself only with the veil of promoting quality education. Thus, the school, until now, as long as there are demographic sources, manages to produce human capital that easily adapts to changes in a new social environment in all contemporary countries where it is accepted, but not at home in the environment where it was formed.
