摘要:
Through the lens of social capital, this study examines the significance of collaboration among teachers and their perceived support from school leaders during the first phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. By thematically analyzing interviews with thirteen teachers in three Icelandic upper secondary schools, the findings show that teachers who were part of teacher communities or collegial relationships were more likely to get necessary support and cope with the sudden changes. The results imply that schools could better prepare for future disruptions by systematically promoting collaboration within the school and providing teachers with the foundation to establish and build collegial relationships.
