Course Content
|
This course examines the historical development, theoretical foundations, and core concepts of positive psychology, as well as the relationships among these concepts. The role, importance, and applications of concepts such as self-efficacy, self-awareness, perseverance, encouragement, gratitude, flow, hope, optimism, and resilience in educational settings are explored in light of scientific research. Conducted through research, presentations, discussions, and practical applications, the course requires students to review current scientific sources related to the topics each week, conduct critical evaluations, and actively participate in discussions. Additionally, students are expected to design and implement a psychoeducational program focused on at least one of the core concepts of positive psychology, as well as to conduct research and practical activities aligned with the weekly topics and prepare reports on these activities.
