The paper presents four models, references for analysis, and approaches of the most important social micro-groups in an educational unit, i.e. the groups of pupils’ classes. The micro-research carried out, consisting in the application of a questionnaire with closed and open questions applied on a group of 711 teachers in Romanian pre-university education, identifies the socio-psychological and socio-pedagogical model as the most effective models for approaching the pupil class and the pandemic period that everyone went through as the determining cause of some changes of approach of the social actors of the Romanian pre-university education system. In order to increase the efficiency of the educational process, it is recommended to digitize it by increasing connectivity in schools, the digital literacy of pupils, the training and development of digital skills among teachers, according to the priorities set by the European Commission for the next period.
