Abstract

Global crises such as pandemics, full-scale invasions, and economic instability have intensified educational losses, requiring effective strategies to restore learning. This study aimed to develop and evaluate pedagogical strategies with practical potential for overcoming these challenges. Key approaches include using information and communication technologies, fostering resilience, applying problem-based and interactive learning, intensifying educational processes, developing individual learning trajectories, strengthening psychological, pedagogical, and social support, and providing teacher support and professional development programs. The research employed surveys, experimental methods, and comparative analysis of survey results using defined evaluation criteria. Conducted between 2020 and 2024, the experiment measured progress in addressing educational losses every six months. Evaluation criteria included academic achievement, learning engagement, psychological well-being, and sustainability of the educational process, with specific indicators identified for each. Questionnaires for students, teachers, and parents incorporated these criteria and indicators to assess strategy effectiveness. Findings identified the most effective strategies and analyzed their long-term impact on restoring learning continuity and improving educational outcomes. Results confirmed that sustained application of these strategies ensures greater learning efficiency, equal access to education, and enhanced resilience within educational systems. The study highlights the importance of systematic, evidence-based pedagogical interventions to address educational losses and sustain progress amid ongoing global challenges.
