Abstract

The disruptive era presents many challenges in various fields, including early childhood education. This research aims to discover factors that contribute to resilience of preschool teachers towards the globalization in information era. This study employs a qualitative method to derive the contributing factors on the kindergarten teachers’ resilience. The data was gathered through observation, record field notes and interview to six kindergarten teachers in order to get in-depth information related to factors that build their resilience. Data retrieval was guided by using Reivich and Shatte’s theory of resilience that underlines the importance of protective factors in overcoming risk factors. The results indicate several factors that positively contribute to the commitment and resilience of kindergarten teachers including the ability of teachers in regulating their emotional, keep focusing on the positive experiences and remain optimistic, and keep boosting their belief that teaching is a calling and be professional teachers. These current findings suggest that personal characteristics contribute on teacher resilience as kindergarten teachers in the disruptive era.
