A decline in both student well-being and engagement were reported during the COVID-pandemic. Stressors and internal energy sources can co-exist or be both absent, which might cohere with different student needs. This study aimed to develop student profiles on emotional exhaustion and engagement, as well as examine how profiles relate to student participation, academic performance, and overall well-being. Survey-data from 1,460 Dutch higher education students were analyzed and resulted in a quadrant model containing four student profiles on engagement and emotional exhaustion scores. Semi-structured interviews with 13 students and 10 teaching staff members were conducted to validate and further describe the student profiles. The majority of the survey participants were disengaged-exhausted (48%) followed by engaged-exhausted students (29%). Overall, the engagedenergized students performed best academically and had the highest levels of well-being and participation, although engaged-exhausted students were more active in extracurricular activities. The engaged exhausted students also experienced the most pressure to succeed. The qualitative validation of the student profiles demonstrates that students and teachers recognize and associate the profiles with themselves or other students. Changes in the profiles are attributed to internal and external factors, suggesting that they are not fixed but can be influenced by various factors. The practical relevance of the quadrant model is acknowledged by students and teachers and they shared experiences and tips, with potential applications in recognizing students’ well-being and providing appropriate support. This study enriches our grasp of student engagement and well-being in higher education, providing valuable insights for educational practices.
Eén van de manieren om het vakmanschap van de reclasseringswerker verder te ontwikkelen is de gezamenlijke reconstructie van „goede praktijken‟. Vaak is er vooral aandacht voor vragen, knelpunten, problemen of inschattingsfouten. Dat is nodig en daar valt zeker van te leren. Maar minstens even veel valt te leren van de bespreking en analyse van zaken die juist goed gaan. Van stilstaan bij casuïstiek waarbij je als reclasseringswerker denkt: „Hier wordt duidelijk wat het vak inhoudt. En hier wordt duidelijk wat ik als professioneel reclasseringswerker kan.‟ Dat is niet alleen leerzaam, maar het is ook motiverend. Stil staan bij de eigen successen geeft energie. En als de specifieke kenmerken en gedragingen die hebben geleid tot succes worden „betrapt‟ dan kunnen deze ook worden vertaald in kenmerken van een reclasseringsmethodiek. Alle reden dus voor een vingeroefening met een reconstructie van succes. Tijdens het congres is dit gedaan in een van de workshops
How are the students of Inholland University of Applied Sciences doing? How do students assess their health and how engaged are they? What are the biggest stressors during their time as a student and what stress reactions do they experience? How resilient and optimistic are the students, and from whom do they get the necessary support? Based on the Student WellBeing Model, this fact sheet shows the most important results of the Student Well-Being Study 2017–2018. The questionnaire was completed by students in the classroom (n=407).
