Description
The past years have proven that student well-being remains a particularly relevant topic. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed various problematic issues within higher education regarding students' well-being. We propose that these issues do not only root in the students themselves as individuals, but also in the academic system surrounding them. Following this approach, satisfying the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness within the learning environment has proven promising for enhancing academic well-being. That is why we decided to implement an intervention to promote students' need satisfaction. The intervention entails raising awareness concerning need satisfaction using a game approach, adjusting the course set-up accordingly, and evaluating these adjustments. Three courses from different faculties participate in the intervention study during spring 2022. At three times surrounding the intervention, students rate their need satisfaction, well-being and resilience. To control for potential third variables, one comparable course serves as a control group for each participating course. Additionally, students and teachers can choose to participate in follow-up interviews to elaborate on their experiences. The study's findings may help evaluate a more systemic approach to promoting students' well-being and resilience to create a new practical tool for universities.| Periode | 19-jul.-2022 |
