Dobrostan szkolny ucznia: definicja, istotne czynniki i metody pomiaru
Abstract
The aim of the article is to present various definitions, popular theories, and methods of measuring student well-being at school. The article also indicates important factors that contribute to the students’ school well-being and its correlates. The article consists of four parts: a discussion of what well-being is, a definition of a student’s school well-being and its significant factors, an indication of significant correlates of a student’s school well-being, and a description of known methods of measuring it. Summing up the review of theories and research presented in this article, the student’s school well-being can be broadly defined as the student’s overall satisfaction and sense of satisfaction with school. At a more detailed level, important components of school well-being for students can be enumerated, such as social relationships, including relationships with teachers and peers, school successes, school and classroom conditions, and individual factors. School well-being measurement tools are usually self-descriptive and either capture it holistically as a student’s overall level of contentment and satisfaction with school or multidimensionally – the general level of school well-being consists of its significant factors. Despite the lack of agreement among researchers regarding the definition of a student’s school well-being and the certain heterogeneity of measurement tools, it is worth examining school well-being because it can be an important indicator of a student’s functioning in an educational institution. Today, schools should not only support students in developing their abilities and achieving the best results but also enable them to achieve well-being.
