Happiness Within The Scope of Positive Psychology Applications in Education

Program Objectives

With this program, the aim is for teachers and students to scientifically understand the concept of "happiness" and its components, to strengthen their well-being with education and other activities, and to develop a realistic and optimistic thinking habit that they can use throughout their lives. Thus, it is expected that individual happiness attitudes will increase and there will be an increase in social interaction and well-being through interactions and work.

The program aims to target behavior and attitude change by going beyond awareness levels. Therefore, it is designed to include long-term and different activities. In addition, for our teachers, it provides a learning opportunity by experiencing many tools, activities, and methods that they can use in face-to-face or distance education throughout their professional careers.

The following topics will be covered during the educational program:

  • Conceptual Knowledge of Happiness and PERMA Model
  • Positive Emotions and Social-Emotional Learning Control List
  • PERMA Model Components within the Scope of Positive Psychology
  • 6 Universal Values and 24 Character Traits in Positive Psychology Applications in Education
