In this unit you will learn how the fundamental principles and theories of positive psychology can be applied to the design, development, and measurement of evidence-based interventions for enhancing the wellbeing and resilience of individuals and groups across a range of settings such as education, health, and organisations. The exploration of practical applications will include designing and implementing a positive psychology intervention, examining determinants of change, and developing ways to measure and monitor efficacy and change processes.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE responses and Unit Coordinator reflections.

Some students struggled with groupwork, which may have been exacerbated by allocating some students into groups without their input.

The Unit Coordinator and teaching team will investigate alternative strategies for allocating students to groups.

Feedback from SUTE responses.

While some students valued the chance to work and learn collaboratively with fellow students in the group assessment, other students found it challenging due to unequal contributions, scheduling challenges, and varied skill-levels.

The Unit Coordinator and teaching team will investigate alternative strategies for fostering effective groupwork and equal distribution of work roles by students in their teams, and utilise the groupwork contract as a way to facilitate this.

Feedback from SUTE responses.

Some students felt they would have benefitted from a larger word count for Assessment 2 individual reflection.

The Unit Coordinator and teaching team will re-evaluate the appropriateness of word limits for assessment components.
