Ensuring the well-being of preschoolers during the pandemic and in the future. Perspectives and approaches of teachers

This research emphasizes educational strategies that promote children's well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak, with implications post-pandemic as well. The Romanian - Danish model RODAWEL is used to study strategies that foster well-being in four dimensions: positive interaction, autonomy, authentic learning environment, and inclusiveness. 149 Romanian pre-school educators participated in quantitative study. The Happiness Strategies for Children Scale (HSCPT) and RODAWELL Well-being Self-assessment Scale (IASB) used reveal a positive correlation between educators' perceptions and behaviors in assuring children's well-being. Although they utilize happiness strategies in online and physical activities, educators are more consistent in ensuring children's well-being in online or hybrid activities.
