Students’ well-being and teaching-​learning efficiency during and post-pandemic period

The volume addresses the effectiveness of the teaching–learning process during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, beginning with the widely accepted hypothesis that the transition to a distance teaching system had a significant impact on the way didactic activities must be conceived, on the evaluation of school performance, and on how students can provide quality feedback to teachers regarding the efficiency of the educational process. As a result, a part of the studies focuses on the adoption of alternate ways of teaching–learning evaluation, with an emphasis on enhanced interactivity, to compensate for the loss of direct connection. This is why a considerable number of studies use ludic or dramatic strategies in the teaching–learning process, with the declared goal of integrating the interlocutors as much as possible, of transposing them into a more manageable reality.
