This sounds like it would fit well with psychological theories of motivation, Ibiam. Self-determination theory (SDT) of Ryan & Deci is a useful and quite broad framework that applies to a lot of activities including schooling. In terms of how this would affect resilience, motivation is seen partly in terms of persistence at a task, so more highly-motivated learners are less likely to give up easily. According to SDT, this is partly down to our sense of competence at the task (we persist more if we are good at it), and also other factors including social connectedness. Personally I find this a more useful and realistic approach compared to viewing resilience as an inherent, generic characteristic of the learner.

Certainly, the better learning in terms of level, it will increase the demand for it, and if the learning is better, then this means that we can deal with multiple means or ways that make us exit from the classic framework.
