Trends in Educational Research in the Field of Positive Education and Developing Students' Psychological Resilience

Abstract

This study presents a descriptive-analytical review of recent research trends in positive education and its impact on fostering psychological resilience in students during the last decade (2014-2024). This research is crucial for enriching both theoretical and practical knowledge in this vital field, providing valuable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers in developing effective educational curricula. The study aims to explore research trends in positive education, its impact on students' psychological resilience, identify research gaps, and propose practical recommendations. A descriptive-analytical methodology was employed, analyzing the content of previous relevant studies using a content analysis questionnaire and data coding tables, incorporating qualitative and quantitative analysis methodologies. The study did not define a specific population or sample; instead, it relied on analyzing published studies. Results indicated a growing interest in positive education, but highlighted a lack of studies directly linking positive education and psychological resilience. The study recommended conducting experimental studies, developing accurate measurement tools, integrating the principles of positive education into curricula, and enhancing collaboration between researchers and policymakers
