HUMAN VALUES BUILDING COHESION IN VIRTUAL CLASS
HUMAN VALUES BUILDING COHESION IN VIRTUAL CLASS

Summary/Abstract: In a space dominated by communication and socialising platforms working either asynchronous or synchronous, there are human interventions which can lead to a high level of cohesion in virtual classes. This paper intention is to analyse this phenomenon by describing a case study and using research tools specific for ID-IFR CREDIS Department-Bucharest University. Using as a starting point our experience extended over almost ten years of practice in the field of managing educational services for distance learning, to which I may add my personal experience as a specialised manager for the department of Educational Sciences in ID-IFR CREDIS and a specialised psychologist, where I hold the position of course tutor I initiated programmes of psycho-pedagogical assistance. This research plan was motivated both by my pedagogical experience and by the challenging activity of psych-pedagogical assistance and conciliation, activity that had to be carried out on socialising platform. Since it’s beginning (1999), inside ID-IFR CREDIS it has been a permanent concern for offering students a proper psychological and pedagogical assistance. Even if this part of the educational process is not included in the curricula, it is of a vital importance for developing the academic process as it reinforces students’ motivation and contributes to diminish their dropout. The case study describes the activities developed on GMAIL platform in order to offer a psychopedagogical support for Second year students enrolled in Primary and Preschool Education Pedagogy, during the human values that were underlined inside the Forum “About us, in a different way”, are: excellence, generosity, self-confidence, ambition, values expressing the virtual class cohesion. The study underlines the personalised approaches as well as different aspects concerning personal implication in defining the specialised assistance offered to our students.
