do you want to improve your well-being, study more comfortably, and possibly achieve greater academic success? if so, this course could be the right choice for you. in recent years, universities have recognized an increasing interest in well-being studies and have begun actively supporting the well-being of their students. this semester-long online course aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the latest approaches and theories. the goal is to adopt habits that enhance your well-being, positively influencing not only your personal life but also your academic performance.
in each of the planned webinars, we will explore the latest scientific findings in the field of well-being, assess our well-being across 10 different domains by creating personalized well-being flower diagrams, introduce research-based activities to enhance well-being, and discuss how to integrate these practices into daily student life.
we will begin with a joint review of findings from positive psychology research over the past two decades. the course will emphasize the relatively new well-being framework, PERMA5, which represents the foundational building blocks of happiness and well-being. these building blocks include positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, physical health, mindset, environment, economic security, and authenticity. throughout the semester, we will dive into these topics through lectures, group discussions, and hands-on activities, learning how to cultivate well-being and gradually build a fulfilling student life.

what else do I need to know?
what do students think?
"What I appreciate the most is that this class, thanks to the teacher Jana's approach, became my favorite class. The lectures were playful, interactive and very entertaining. Thanks to teacher’s educating style, I memorized much more information compared to other classes. And what I really enjoyed was the final exam, which was in the form of a quiz, rather than test and it was a beautiful but also sad ending of this course."
"This class opened my eyes and helped me to change the perception of many parts of each individual's everyday life and impacts of those behaviors. This class influenced me a lot. Thank you."
"I appreciate everything, the class was mainly a great experience and I haven't been looking forward to going to school like I was for these classes for a long time. I wish I had more! Thank you for the new knowledge about health, which I manage to apply to my life to better manage the pressure of the 5th grade :)"
"Doctor Jana works with new educational methods, new educational programs, her classes are very inspiring. She uses new communicational technologies, performs pleasant communication with students, performs helpfulness, desire to help. I appreciate cooperation of the teacher with students."
"Ms. doctor Jana is probably the most pleasant and the most passionate teacher at the university. Your enthusiasm, the speed of communication and the way you teach, this is how I would expect it in all the people who have to show future teachers how to teach. That is a pity that you're the first one I can say this about after four years at the university."
"Dr. Jana is able to transmit positive energy even across distance over distance learning. Her approach is amazing and I was excited about her classes. I may never have had experienced a more pleasant atmosphere in the class. There was a frequent interaction during lessons, we always received positive feedback, there was no stress... At the same time, the subject was very practical. There is nothing to complain about."
"I have nothing to complain about. Very well structured lectures. I have learned a lot during psychohygiene and well-being classes. Not only thanks to the interesting content of lectures but also thanks to Dr. Kočí's great approach."
"It was a pleasure to go to Ms. Jana's classes. She was always in a positive mood, the classes were well organized and thanks to the activities in the seminars I gathered a lot of practical activities that I can use in my practice. She always gladly accepted the students' opinion and whenever something was not clear to us, she explained it. The exam was very similar to the whole class - stress-free and enjoyable."
"I would like to commend Dr. Jana for the practical classes organization, and her human and kind approach. The practice was organizationally brilliant, and even though Ms. doctor had to deftly respond to the changes caused by the Covid pandemic, everything worked out smoothly. The class discussions were really rewarding, almost more than class observations itself."
"Ms. Kočí is the nicest person at the faculty, she can't even frown :) At first I was a bit skeptical about Leisure Time Pedagogy, but Ms. Kočí showed me that it doesn't pay off to judge in advance."
"Lessons were always very professionally prepared with a very nicely graphically presented presentations. Lessons were often based on practical tips, class discussion, etc. It did not happen to me for a long time that I would be able to keep my full attention during whole lectures like over these classes."
"Dr. Jana is absolutely amazing. She taught this class very well. Her interest in the topic was visible, so the lessons were very interesting and rewarding."
"Even though the participation on classes is optional, I have attended all 4 blocks this semester. For us students, optional participation does not mean that we do not have to go to seminars, but that we are trusted that we know ourselves that it is good to attend this course."
One of the best teacher’s course preparation.
"I really appreciate the energy and positive mood of Ms. Dr. Jana. She enriched me with many interesting findings, which I will definitely use in my professional and personal life, and in addition she always gave me a lot of positive energy."
"Very helpful approach of the teacher. I was extremely satisfied with how she communicates with the students and how she approaches them. A very beneficial class. Other teachers could be inspired on how to work with university students."
"I have nothing to complain about. Very well structured lectures. I have learned a lot during psychohygiene classes. Not only thanks to the interesting content of lectures but also thanks to Dr. Jana's great approach."
