School Well-Being: Central Determinants and Effects

Sat, April 13, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 112B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Schools aim at attaining multiple educational goals. One central goal – among others such as acquisition of academic competencies – is students’ well-being. Well-being is a multidimensional construct that is constituted by a psychological, a social, and a physical component. Students’ well-being is of high relevance as it is a prerequisite for academic success and an indicator for positive functioning. Furthermore, it has critical implications for lifelong learning. Therefrom, the symposium presents a comprehensive new research on students’ well-being. By integrating distinct theoretical perspectives, considering the multidimensionality, applying advanced methods of analyses, and bringing together data sets from different cultural contexts, this symposium provides an international overview on current empirical research. Research results indicate important implications for research and educational practice likewise.
