Factors of Academic Well-being – A Literature Review for Enhanced Learning Experiences

Abstract

Academic Well-being is increasingly recognized as crucial for students’ coping skills and success in an educational setting. This review article aims to explore Academic well-being by analyzing existing literature to identify its multidimensional nature and its various factors, to bridge gaps in its current understanding, and to extract some practical implementations that would help foster the academic well-being of students, thus enhancing their overall learning experience. Through keyword search employed to gather relevant research on Academic Wellbeing from databases such as PubMed, JSTOR, and Frontiers in Science, 45 papers have been included in the review. From these papers, the factors identified are further grouped under 12 broader aspects that determine a student’s Academic well-being. Above all the literature review highlights the multidimensional nature of Academic Wellbeing and underscores its importance in educational contexts. These findings offer valuable insights for interventions and policies that can help to create a positive academic environment and promote students’ Academic well-being.
