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
Despite extensive research on well-being over the years, a universally accepted definition is still lacking. Nonetheless, research continues to explore this concept, including the present study. We investigated the conceptualization of general well-being, and well-being within academia, given the concerning decline in mental health among students and teachers. In addition, we explored the interaction between student and teacher well-being, an area that has received limited research attention. Furthermore, this paper examined the relationship between student well-being and academic achievements. Our study employed a qualitative research design, collecting data through in-depth interviews, and served as a continuation of the research initiated by Kiltz et al. (2020). Our findings highlighted the intricate and varied components involved in the conceptualization of well-being, and we identified various factors that shape the interaction between student and teacher well-being. Our results also aligned with our proposed theoretical frameworks: Self-Determination Theory, Positive Psychology, resilience, and Social Constructivism. Lastly, our findings suggest that academic achievements partly influence students’ well-being. However, the nature of qualitative research introduces certain limitations. We advocate for future studies employing mixed methods or quantitative designs for enhanced reliability in research around well-being.
