The aim of this study is to present an approach for creating an educational process that can affect teacher trainees' moral resilience, while investigating the manner in which they - as teachers - perceive the concept of moral resilience. A study questionnaire, designed especially for the current study, was distributed online among trainees in a teacher-training college in Israel and was completed by 123 participants. Two major themes emerged in trainees' conceptualizations of the notion of moral resilience: (a) the role of the organisation in which the teaching takes place, and (b) mechanisms that contribute to the development of moral fibre, which creates resilience.
