Abstract

Nascent technological interventions for enhancing school wellness are emerging strategies that leverage technology to promote health and well-being in educational settings. These interventions can take many forms, such as web-based platforms, digital apps, and other tech-based tools. Staff members and students are using technological interventions to support mental health, particularly in response to issues like the pandemic. Digital platforms for stress management and mindfulness, mental health applications, and online counselling services are a few examples of these approaches. These emerging tech-enhanced programs are a part of a larger movement in schools to incorporate technology into health and wellness programs. They represent an exciting area of development with the potential to significantly enhance school wellness programs. However, the effectiveness of these interventions can vary, and ongoing research is needed to evaluate their impact and optimise their implementation. The article discusses key trends in technological interventions with examples and reasons, and, in light of recent studies, how Technology can be used in several ways to address barriers to student wellness.

Abstract

The current, standardised approach to fostering speaking skills in tertiary classrooms overlooks the unique learning styles present within the student body. This research proposes a ground breaking solution: a multi-modal edutainment approach that utilises engaging and interactive elements to enhance speaking skill development for all learners. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of integrating various learning modalities (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) within edutainment activities designed specifically for tertiary classrooms. We hypothesise that by catering to these diverse learning preferences, students will experience heightened engagement, improved comprehension, and ultimately, more effective development of speaking skills. The research will involve the design and implementation of a series of multi-modal edutainment activities within a tertiary speaking skills course. These activities will encompass a variety of elements, such as audio dialogues for auditory learners, interactive video presentations for visual learners, and kinesthetic activities like role-playing simulations. Data collection will involve pre- and post-tests to assess student speaking skills, along with surveys and focus groups to gauge student engagement and learning preferences based on the different modalities employed.

Abstract

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has emerged as a critical component in fostering student well-being, resilience, and academic success. SEL provides students with fundamental skills, including self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective social interaction, as they navigate the complexities of school life. Research has demonstrated that well-executed SEL programmes improve mental health, enhance interpersonal relationships, and reduce stress levels. Furthermore, SEL fosters cognitive engagement and motivation, establishing a connection between emotional intelligence and academic success. This paper analyses the theoretical underpinnings of SEL, its significance in promoting comprehensive student wellness, and actionable strategies for implementation within educational institutions. This paper examines empirical studies that demonstrate how SEL fosters emotionally intelligent learners equipped to tackle challenges both within and beyond the classroom environment. The discussion further explores the ethical considerations involved in SEL implementation and delineates best practices to ensure its effectiveness in promoting a positive school climate and supporting student development.
