Abstract:
The objective of this study was to explore descriptions and portrayals of students' well-being developed by members of the educational community. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted in a secondary school in Burgundy (France). The results reveal that the educational staff and the school in general do not pay much attention to the students' physiological needs or their most basic fundamental needs. When educational team members discuss students' well-being, they essentially refer to material and organizational needs, and tend to associate the idea of well-being with a medical concept. Study results highlight a significant need for training educational staff about physical and psychological changes of adolescent and teenaged students. A complementary study could help investigate these exploratory results on a larger scale for more broad-based general conclusions.
