Hi teacher! Participate the project examining pedagogical competence and well-being

Have you thought about how you could develop your teaching in such a way that it would support your well-being? Would you like to receive peer support related to your work and education? Are you interested in learning more about how reflection and mindfulness can be used to support teachers' well-being?

THEwellbeing, a project funded by the Research Council of Finland, examines the relationship between higher education (HE) teachers’ pedagogical competence and well-being.

THEwellbeing, a project funded by the Research Council of Finland, examines the relationship between higher education (HE) teachers’ pedagogical competence and well-being. 

We will examine teaching processes and well-being both at a general level (how teachers typically teach) and in specific teaching situations. We will collect various types of data from participating HE teachers, including survey data, psychophysiological data collected via Moodmetric smart rings, experience sampling data and video-recorded data from teaching sessions.

The project is executed in Finnish.

If you are a higher education teacher interested in developing your teaching to support your well-being, seeking peer support or want to learn more about reflection and mindfulness, you are warmly invited to join the project!
