Social Interaction, Well-being, and Health

Deutsch

Teachers face the challenging task of shaping social interactions in the classroom so that all students develop well cognitively, emotionally, and socially. How can teachers build sustainable teacher-student relationships, shape peer relationships, prevent classroom disruptions and aggression through adaptive relationships and classroom management, and stay healthy in their profession? With its research, the research programme promotes social interactions that strengthen all interaction partners' well-being, health, and positive development.
