Innovative Approaches in Primary School for the Training of School Teachers

Dear Colleagues,

The regular education and training approaches are continuously changing all over the World. A first need analysis carried out at the end of 2022 made among the schoolteachers, shows that they are in need of getting advanced training on the technical, social and emotional development of skills along with digital teaching techniques. Teachers with high social and emotional skills and equipped with digital components are more likely to be able to raise the students both socially, emotionally and digitally. Those findings require a transformation in learning and teaching processes in online classes. As the development of soft and digital skills interrelate with social and emotional learning, it is pretty crucial to upskill sets of cognitive, affective, and behavioural competencies as well as digital ones so that they can adapt to the rapid transformations which are essential in the 21st century. This journal aims to collect and present research, experiences and initiatives aiming at improving the competences of primary school teachers by means of approaches, methodologies and other techniques in effective classroom management, interpersonal communication processes, developing empathy and behaviour among students, how to use online methods, all with the aim of raising students' learning capabilities in educational attainment in primary schools.
