A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Student well-being is under pressure. As a consequence of this it can have a negative impact on student happiness and their academic performances. Teachers can have an influence on student well-being and they can implement activities to improve it. The sense of belonging is important for student well-being, so in this thesis the focus is on relational approaches that teachers can implement. The research question in this qualitative study is: “What are, within the context of relational approaches in terms of improving student well-being, university teachers’ attitudes, knowledge, and self-efficacy beliefs, and to what extent do they undertake, or are they open to undertake, activities to improve student well-being?" Based on twelve interviews with university teachers, it appears that they all express concerns about a low student well-being. The majority of the teachers see a role for themselves to improve student well-being and thus have a positive attitude towards this. However, the teachers indicate that their knowledge and self-efficacy beliefs are low and that they need training and knowledge enhancement for implementing relational approaches to improve student well-being. Nevertheless, university teachers implement a variety of activities appropriate to the relational approach. The results show that teachers promote positive teacher-student contact by being open to students and having conversations with them. In addition, teachers also encourage student-student contact by having them work together and putting them together in groups. In this way, the teachers encourage developing a sense of belonging among the students. For follow-up research, it is important to investigate whether the students themselves are perceiving these activities actually as improving their well-being.
