A Wave For Sustainability: Principals' And Executive District Officers' Narrations For Students' Well-Being

Abstract

A person's wellbeing is what is best for him or her, both now and in the future. A complex idea, wellbeing encompasses much more than just physical health. Yet, wellbeing is associated with better academic performance, greater mental health, and prudent lifestyle decisions. This study's main goal was to learn the answers to the following questions: How do principals and executive district officers over time come to understand and practise students' wellbeing, how do they trace the idea of students' wellbeing, and how do they put students’ wellbeing within their professional practise? The study's data were gathered through the use of a purposive sampling approach. One male and one female principal as well as one male and female executive district officer were taken as participants of the study. The research methodology chosen was narrative. There was recorded two conversations. They explained the idea of student well-being in the first conversation using their own words. Also, they conveyed their stated concept of pupils' wellbeing graphically. Participants in the second interaction were handed a piece of paper with a timeline, and the researchers asked them to think back on their experiences with the students' wellness in their daily lives. NVIVO 12 was used to thematically evaluate [1]the data. Participants' verbal and diagrammatical conceptualization revealed that learning difficulties, moral development, motivation, physical development, social development, pleasant environment, problem-solving teaching methodology, social relationships, physical activities, cognitive development, curriculum, examinations, extracurricular activities, ethical training, and students all affect students' well-being. Participants in the chat shared their experiences with the notion of students' wellbeing, including how they used it with examples, provided resources and success stories with examples, and defined it as having awareness of one's own health, happiness, and success. It entails being in good mental health, enjoying life to the fullest, feeling purpose-driven, and being able to handle stress. In a broader sense, being well in present simply means feeling well in future.
