Supporting students at the Faculty of Education, Charles University: balancing academic demands and mental well-being

Original language description

The higher education environment is facing increasing challenges related to students&apos; mental well-being, which is increasingly recognised as a key factor in academic success, persistence in studies, and overall personal development. This methodological study presents a comprehensive concept of a supportive elective course, Managing Academic Demands and Supporting Well-being, developed within an ESF+ project at the Faculty of Education, Charles University. The course is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of positive psychology, a metacognitive approach to learning, and the recommendations of international organisations (OECD, WHO, UNESCO). It focuses on fostering self-awareness, self-regulation, stress management, study strategies, and the ability to maintain a balance between academic and personal life. The study outlines the theoretical foundations of well-being in higher education, introduces the PERMA model, and discusses the specific needs of diverse student groups, including those with specific learning difficulties, autism spectrum conditions, or anxiety-related challenges. The text includes an overview of the course structure, the teaching methods and materials employed, key thematic areas, and students&apos; reflective feedback. The study demonstrates how systematic support for well-being can be integrated into university curricula as a means of preventing academic failure while fostering the development of key 21st-century competences.
