Postdoc Seminar in Innovative Teaching: Does it really matter? the importance of wellbeing and positive emotions in the classroom.

As a response to the explosion in research on wellbeing during the last decades, this seminar will offer an introduction on how the learning process can be supported by paying attention to the wellbeing levels of the different figures implied in the classroom (i.e., both teachers and students).

During the seminar we will debate on how important wellbeing can be in the learning context and whether it is possible (and doable) to address it as teachers, discussing about how students and teachers’ wellbeing can impact the educational setting, and how teachers can use scientific resources to help their students to flourish, and the benefits that this approach can bring to the learning process and the teaching environment.

Teaching methods have evolved throughout last decades. In order to learn the different possibilities that Innovative Teaching offers, this seminar will explore how each field can provide ideas that can be applied in other areas. In this way, both participants and assistants will improve their knowledge concerning to how to teach and how to create a better environment in the class, in which students play a more dynamic role. These activities will be held mainly by predoc and postdoc fellows of RCC.
