Happiness at school ¿What do the children say?
Abstract
With the advances of the study of Positive Psychology, it has become evident that it is necessary to develop or adapt teaching-learning methods to enable the objective set by education in Mexico, to promote integral development, which includes the social aspect, intellectual and emotional or affective of children in schools. The above is interpreted as the student having the possibility of being happy through tools and resources obtained within the school context, among others. Finding out what factors generate child happiness in general and in school in particular, provides opportunities for parents, educational authorities and teaching professionals to promote the integral development and training of happy children.
