Exploring Wellbeing and Remote Learning Using the Delphi Method: Engaging Teacher Education Students as Co-Producers of Practice
Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, v11 n1 p7-32 2022
In UK Higher Education (HE), there is a growing awareness that wellbeing is central to student experience. Increasingly, HE agendas are promoting a targeted holistic institutional approach to wellbeing that supports students thrive in and beyond the student journey. This study positions students as experts of the student experience. Through student voice, the study explores teacher education students' experiences as a product of the synergistic effects of wellbeing and eco-systemic factors related to remote learning. In turn, findings feed into programme and practice developments that support positive student wellbeing. A conventional Delphi Method was used for its effectiveness addressing four different conditions: (1) accessing geographically dispersed populations; (2) overcoming unequal power dynamics; (3) supporting structured communication between experts on a topic leading to consensus building and decision making; and (4) engaging students as co-producers of practice to support positive wellbeing. Our findings provide new insight into the multiplicity of factors that interact with student wellbeing to benefit, challenge, or threaten student experience and the coping resources teacher education students rely on to maintain their education trajectories. These insights provide valuable understanding informing future teacher education programming and practice.
