【 摘 要 】

Positive psychology has multiple applications. This article is focused on formal education, from the ages of 3 to 18 years. Thedevelopment of well-being should be one of the aims of education, which would affect teachers, students, families and byextension society at large. This has been a clear aim for emotional education (Bisquerra, 2000, 2009), from the outset. Withthe emergence of positive psychology, there was a renewed effort in this direction, as a means of providing a better foundation.GROP (Grup de Recerca en Orientación Psicopedagógica [Research in Psychopedagogical Education Group]) at the Universityof Barcelona is conducting research on this subject. The Happy Classrooms (“Aulas felices”) program developed by the SATIteam is the first program in Spanish aimed at working on positive education. It is designed for children and youths in pre-school,primary and secondary education. The program focuses its applications on character strengths and mindfulness. It is freelyavailable for access and distribution. This article argues for the importance of enhancing well-being in education. Practicalactivities and intervention strategies are presented, with special reference to the importance of teacher training.
