Exploring Well-being in Learning Environments Program

Project + Final Report Archive

Positive well-being is a key predictor for learning and student success. Research indicates that well-being is associated with deep learning, and that teaching practices contribute to experiences of well-being (Adler, 2016; Fernandez et al, 2016, Harward, 2016; Stanton, Zandvliet, Dhaliwal & Black, 2016). In partnership with the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Teaching and Learning Centre, ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Health Promotion worked with instructional staff and faculty to create conditions for well-being within learning environments. ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Health Promotion explanded this network by partnering with TILT to pilot a seminar series and grants program. This program intended to:

  • Provide support for ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV faculty to investigate strategies that create conditions of well-being in learning environments.
  • Increase knowledge of ways faculty can create well-being in learning environments.
  • Provide the opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration through a well-being lens.
  • Facilitate knowledge and ideas exchange that contribute to identifying effective practices that enhance student well-being.
