Educating positively: Assessment and intervention strategies to promote well-being
Positive education is a pedagogical approach that focuses on promoting well-being, personal growth, and flourishing among students and the educational community. This symposium emphasizes the importance of providing a solid scientific foundation to the field of positive education, with a multidimensional approach and the integration of these principles into school culture.
Additionally, the symposium will present some assessment tools for relevant dimensions of well-being, such as digital flourishing in adolescents, and intervention strategies such as using humor to foster resilient educational environments, and the relationship between emotional intelligence and well-being in primary education stage. The potential of positive education to foster a fuller life for students and academic communities will be discussed, ultimately transforming the educational landscape for the benefit of society.
