The Impact of Learning Environment Perception on Student Well-Being and Performance Revealed by Survey Data

EasyChair Preprint no. 11318

Abstract

The present study investigated the connection between learning and well-being in undergraduate science courses at a large, public research-intensive university in North America. Understanding the implication of assessing learning environments through the lens of well-being is especially important for building resilience amid today’s turbulent world events. An existing assessment tool was validated in ten courses (N=843). Results showed that life satisfaction scores decrease as students perceive their learning environment more negatively. Students who perceive their learning environment as negative also have the lowest final course grades (P<0.001). Our aim is to use this data in focused conversations with professors to show how they can use instructional strategies to promote both student learning and well-being.
