STUDENTS USED EMOJIS TO ENTER THEIR RESPONSES.
A new study has emphasized the importance of children's well-being for their sense of achievement.
Children's sense of achievement is linked to how well they thrive in school and with the subject matter.
- Norwegian researchers have developed a test to examine the connection between well-being and how students perceive their skills.
- The test included 378 Icelandic students aged 6 to 15 who were asked about their well-being and perceived competence in reading, maths, science, and physical education.
- Researchers found connections between students' well-being at school and their reading, mathematics, science, and physical education performance.
- Girls generally like reading better than boys, while boys like physical education more than girls.
- Older students appear less comfortable at school and in all subjects except physical education.
The connection between well-being at school and a sense of competence should make us think about how we see school as a holistic system.
