DIMENSIONS OF EDUCATIONAL MENTORING: FORMATIVE VALENCES AND SUCCESSFUL PRACTICES IN CONTEMPORARY SCHOOLS

Aug 2026 · Journal Plus Education · 0 citations

Abstract

This study analyzes from a psychopedagogical and academic perspective the fundamental needs of modern early childhood education, focusing on the reconfiguration of the educator's professional identity as a vector of change. Premised on the idea that the evolution of current generations demands a definitive abandonment of professional comfort and traditional routines, the study explores the core pillars of the reflective teacher paradigm. It addresses the essential dimensions of didactic success: cultivating enthusiasm as an epistemic resource, the courage to implement methodological innovation, and the smart management of resistance to change. Aligned with European educational standards and grounded in the theoretical contributions of prominent Romanian academics (M. Bocoș, H. Catalano, I. Albulescu, A. F. Roman), the paper demonstrates that modern preschool didactics measures success not by classroom silence or rigidity, but by the level of authentic engagement and autonomy stimulated among children. The study advocates for a conscious and creative assumption of the modern educator's role, capable of opening new chapters in the praxis of early childhood education.
