This open access handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the
growing field of positive education, featuring a broad range of
theoretical, applied, and practice-focused chapters from leading
international experts. It demonstrates how positive education
offers an approach to understanding learning that blends academic
study with life skills such as self-awareness, emotion regulation,
healthy mindsets, mindfulness, and positive habits, grounded in the
science of wellbeing, to promote character development, optimal
functioning, engagement in learning, and resilience. The handbook
offers an in-depth understanding and critical consideration of the
relevance of positive psychology to education, which encompasses
its theoretical foundations, the empirical findings, and the
existing educational applications and interventions. The
contributors situate wellbeing science within the broader framework
of education, considering its implications for teacher training,
education and developmental psychology, school administration,
policy making, pedagogy and curriculum studies. This landmark
collection will appeal to researchers and practitioners working in
positive psychology, educational and school psychology,
developmental psychology, education, counselling, social work and
public policy.
