Students’ Well-Being

Abstract

Students well being is an important aspect of learning outcomes and motivation, modern approaches of teaching tend to grow more understanding about this subject. The purpose of this research is to highlight the relationship between student well being and the increasing necessity of adopting more flexible methods of teaching in our educational system. The case study was held in Mostaganemat Abd al Hamid Ibn Badis University, Algeria. The participants were university students and teachers. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this research. After analyzing the results of the questionnaire and the interview using a descriptive statistic method of analysis and content analysis, we concluded that students' well-being increases greatly in the presence of a safer environment, engaging school climate, sufficient student-teacher communication, and parental involvement. These aspects can be implemented by making radical changes to our teaching methods to what fits student’s needs and interests. Such improvements reflect the awareness and responsibility of our educational system. Teaching methods adopted in Algerian schools are regarded as ineffective and do not correspond to students’ needs.
