【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2024 年12月 05 日慈幼總部訊】 ─ 歐洲慈幼學校委員會通過馬德里的鮑思高慈幼大學進行有關社會情緒健康的研究。參與者包括134間位於8個歐洲國家的學校,共有21,434名10至17歲的學生、5,124名17歲以上的學生和3,720名教師,參與者亦包括:西班牙、意大利、葡萄牙、英國、愛爾蘭、波蘭、匈牙利、克羅地亞、捷克共和國和斯洛伐克的慈幼會會士和母佑會修女。
問卷調查於2024年4月至5月進行。委員會於2024年10月28日至31日在華沙的最後一次會議上分享了調查結果。
往後的幾個月裡,我們的馬德里鮑思高慈幼大學研究團隊將分析不同的數據,旨在促進學生和教師情緒健康的良好做法。
「值得強調的是,我們已經看到一些明顯的地方,」歐洲慈幼學校委員會的統籌Antonio Rodríguez說。
「首先,我們發現,在不同性別和青春期期間,女孩對生活的滿意度略低於男孩。當中有許多原因導致這趨勢,在其他類似的研究中也有重複出現,」Rodríguez說。
「我們也開始注意到另一方面,」他補充道,「一般來說,我們的學生從 10 歲開始,隨著年齡的增長,會覺得自己不太快樂,尤其準備踏入青春期和正處於青春期時。我們怎樣幫助我們的學生,特別是在他們的青春期時,面對生活充滿希望和興緻?我們怎樣才能幫助他們變得更快樂呢?
歐洲慈幼學校委員會的協調員繼續說:「第三個結論也清晰地顯示出,參與宗教活動與生活滿意度之間成正比。即是說參與和投入宗教活動越多,無論是男孩或女孩,越能感到滿足和快樂。內在性、超越性和宗教經驗的能力也與更好的情感調節有關,而這是良好情商的核心要素。這是我們學校選擇快樂、充滿活力、堅定和深刻的牧民方向的另一原因。」
羅德里格斯總結道:「毫無疑問,我們所談論的只是初步的結果。我們將繼續研究、分析數據,並嘗試發現如何幫助我們的教育團體能更好、更快樂的生活。感謝所有的教職研究員,特別感謝30,278名參與這項研究的學生和教育工作者。我們將繼續匯報進展。」
Research on socio-emotional well-being in schools in Europe
(ANS – RMG, 05 December 2024) – The Salesian Schools Commission of Europe, through the Salesian University Don Bosco of Madrid, is carrying out research on socio-emotional well-being. The participants included 134 schools, 2,1434 pupils aged 10-17, 5124 pupils over 17 and 3720 teachers from 8 European countries, both SDB and FMA: Spain, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The questionnaires were carried out between April and May 2024. The results were shared at the last meeting of the commission in Warsaw 28-31 October 2024.
Over the next few months, the research team of our University of Madrid Don Bosco will be analysing different variables with the aim of promoting good practices in the emotional well-being of our students and teachers.
“It is worth highlighting several aspects that we are already seeing as evident,” says Antonio Rodríguez, Coordinator of the Salesian Schools of Europe Commission.
“First, we found that in the gender variable and during adolescence, girls are somewhat less satisfied with life than boys. There are many possible causes for this tendency that have been repeated in other research of a similar nature,” says Rodríguez.
“Another second aspect that we are beginning to notice,” he adds, “is that our students, as a general rule, as they get older, from the age of 10 onwards, perceive themselves as somewhat less happy, especially in pre-adolescence and adolescence. How can we help our students to have more hope and excitement in their lives, especially in their adolescence? How can we help them to be more joyful?”
The Coordinator of the Salesian Schools Commission Europe continues: “And the third conclusion, which is also shown to us with some clarity, is that there is a positive association between religious participation and satisfaction with life. That is to say, the greater the participation and commitment in religious activities, the more likely it is that the person, whether boy or girl, will be more satisfied and happier. The capacity for interiority, transcendence and religious experience is also related to better emotional regulation, a core element of good emotional intelligence. This is yet another reason for our schools to opt for a joyful, dynamic, committed and profound pastoral model.”
“Undoubtedly,” Rodríguez concludes, “what we are talking about is just a foretaste. We will continue researching, analysing data and trying to discover what and how to help our educational communities live better and happier lives. Thanks to the teacher-researchers and many thanks to the 30,278 students and educators who have collaborated with this research. We will continue to report back.”
