Abstract
Relevance. The education system is currently undergoing major changes, leading to the modernization of the entire educational process. These changes affect both college faculty and students studying teaching. All participants in the educational process are striving to adapt to the new conditions and realize their potential; however, this requires particular effort, which impacts subjective well-being.
Purpose. To examine the subjective well-being of students majoring in teaching and faculty at a college. To analyze the levels of subjective well-being across all participants in the educational process to compare whether its impact is equal.
Materials and Methods. To study the subjective well-being of teachers and students in pedagogical specialties, we used the subjective well-being assessment method developed by R.M. Shamionov and T.V. Beskova. We also used the Mann-Whitney U-test to determine differences in subjective well-being between independent samples. Results. The average level of subjective well-being among the subjects was determined. The results of the mathematical and statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in the levels of subjective well-being between students and teachers.
Conclusions. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the educational system has a uniform impact on the subjective well-being of all its participants. Attitudes toward study, work, and the success of the learning process depend on the self-awareness and self-realization of both teachers and students studying pedagogical specialties.
