Research on Enhancing Teachers' and Students' Sense of Gain Based on Strength-Based Development from the Perspective of Positive Education
Abstract
Guided by positive psychology, positive education emphasizes starting from individual strengths to cultivate participants' positive experiences and ultimately enhance teachers' and students' sense of gain. This means that positive education should not only elevate subjective well-being to make individuals "feel good," but also empower them to lead meaningful lives by strengthening their positive qualities or strengths. Positive education provides a value-driven pathway for educational optimization—toward positivity. It appropriately integrates three educational tasks, aiming to nurture students' strengths while attending to the positive experiences of every student (whether struggling, average, or high-achieving). This approach effectively complements and addresses the shortcomings of traditional education. Schools should establish a curriculum framework centered on "experiential courses, specialized courses, and practical courses," based on strength-based education and national curriculum standards.
