Накратко на български

Връзката между учители и ученици в средното училище се анализира, за да се разбере как подкрепата от възрастни извън семейството влияе върху благосъстоянието на младите. Това помага да се създадат по-добра училищна среда и инструменти за измерване на тези отношения.

Well-being among European youth: The contribution of student teacher relationships in the secondary-school population

Creating environments that foster young people´s wellbeing is one of the current priorities for the European Union. Multidisciplinary evidence across the social sciences indicates that significant relationships with supportive adults within their key environments are crucial for young people’s wellbeing and positive development. Research on the importance of parents as key adult figures is abundant, but significantly less is known about the potential contribution of non-parental adults, who can also be important sources of wellbeing for young people. Given that the school is a crucial developmental context in young people’s life, teachers seem to be ideally located to become influential non-parental adults for their students. For that reason, this project focused on student-teacher relationships. In addition, because previous research shows that relationships with teachers tend to become more distant in secondary school, the project concentrated on the secondary-school population. The concept of school connectedness has been frequently used to emphasize the importance of relationships with adults in the school for students’ outcomes and we took it as a starting point for this project. Specifically, the aim of this project was to develop the current understanding of teacher connectedness, as a novel concept, in two key directions: 1. Providing further evidence regarding the contribution of teacher connectedness to youth wellbeing and the factors that increase or decrease the likelihood that teachers become significant adults for adolescents’ wellbeing 2. Developing a measure on teacher connectedness that incorporates the main components of meaningful teacher-student relationships, drawing on both existing scientific evidence and, importantly, young people’s voices.

Цел на проекта

Creating environments that foster young people´s wellbeing is one of the current priorities for the European Union. Increasingly such efforts are conceptually framed through a focus on positive paradigms across the life course. Social science evidence indicates that supportive relationships with significant adults are important determinants of young people’s wellbeing and future life chances. Recently the significance of non-parental adults in shaping youth wellbeing has been examined. In this vein, WEY-CRISP focuses on the contribution of teachers to the construction and maintenance of wellbeing.Understanding the significance of teacher connectedness for youth has been constrained by inconsistencies in definitions and measures. Consequently, the character of the contribution of such relationships to wellbeing (from teachers as complementary sources of instrumental support to key mentors for youth) is also unclear. WEY-CRISP will:1.Investigate the determinants of teacher connectedness and potential for being a protective health factor, including diverse groups of youth (ethnicity, age, gender) and different contexts e.g. low parental support. 2.Clarify on the nature of teacher connectedness and develop an effective measure for its assessment that taps into the main components for wellbeing.3.Generate synergistic links between approaches in education and health research. The investigation will use a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative), including youth centred participatory research strategies. WEY-CRISP will link with a multidisciplinary, international network of experts on adolescence via the WHO (Europe) cross-national HBSC study, aiding in the maximization of the impact across the European Union and enhancing the European Research Area. The experienced researcher will access significant methodological training and career development opportunities including leadership skills via engagement with policy makers and researchers.
