Award Title: Harnessing Positive Psychology Principles in Fostering Academic Motivation/Engagement and Wellbeing of Low-Progress Learners in Singapore

Project Title: “Being Permalicious”: Intervention and Impact for Secondary School Students’ Wellbeing and Academic Achievement

Project Introduction: The study seeks to determine the impact of a positive education intervention on the well-being of secondary school students. Positive education may be described as a holistic form of education that brings the science of positive psychology together with best pedagogies to encourage and support schools and individuals to flourish. In the process, students’ social, emotional, moral and intellectual facets are developed. This study is conceived to promote flourishing and wellbeing amongst students in Singapore, while buttressing “immunity” against the possible onslaught of mental health issues, through the design and evaluation of a positive education programme.

Specifically, the study seeks to develop and evaluate a positive education intervention supported by a mobile application that is targeted at Singaporean secondary school students. It is hoped that this study would contribute to evidence-informed school and classroom practices that facilitate for overall student wellbeing and mental health, as well as to help build schools as enabling institutions in Singapore.

In each school, all Secondary 1 classes across all groupings (G1, G2, G3) would be randomly assigned to the experimental group as well as the control group. The intervention would be implemented over 7+1 sessions, each lasting one hour, during the school’s CCE lessons. The intervention program will be implemented for one full term.

The effectiveness of the intervention program will be assessed based on an quasi experimental-control group design in which participants in both groups will be administered the same set of questionnaires three times: before the intervention, after the intervention, and three months after the conclusion of the intervention to test for sustained effects. Indicators of academic achievement such as assessment scores for English and Mathematics will also be collected.

The impact of the intervention will be measured using a locally-adapted measure of wellbeing based on the PERMA-Profiler and the EPOCH Measure.

Interviews with students, teachers and parents will be conducted to corroborate and complement the quantitative findings from the questionnaire. Selected student participants would be interviewed regarding their experiences and perceptions of the positive education programme. The interview questions will focus on students’ perceptions of the effect of the intervention on their levels of wellbeing, resilience, academic achievement, depression, anxiety and stress in a variety of contexts, such as in school, at home and within social circles. Interviews with the CCE teachers and parents pertaining to their perceptions of the positive education programme and its impact upon the students, would be conducted to validate the preceding self-report measures.

• Proficient knowledge in quantitative and qualitative analysis.
• Relevant skills in academic research (e.g., conducting literature review, interviews, survey design and administration).
• Prior experience in research either at the undergraduate or postgraduate levels.

Project Title: Developing Collective Free Music Improvisation Pedagogy to Engage Diverse Learners in the 21st Century

Project Introduction: This research project seeks to explore and develop Collective Free Music Improvisation (CFMI) pedagogy that aligns with 21st CC and the Primary and Lower Secondary (PLS) Music Syllabus outcomes, as well as engage diverse students in Singapore’s PLS Music Programme.

In this classroom intervention project, Ministry of Education (MOE) music teachers will first develop CFMI skills and pedagogy in a professional development workshop, and then craft and implement suitable CFMI pedagogies for their classes. The project will have two phases. In the first phase, up to 18 MOE music teacher volunteers will first learn CFMI skills and pedagogies in a CFMI workshop the PI conducts. In the second phase, up to five teacher volunteers from the workshop will create and implement a CFMI course for their respective classes to explore ways CFMI may be effectively delivered in various music classroom contexts in MOE schools.

These exploratory case studies will address the following research questions:

1) How do teachers design and conduct the CFMI programme to engage students and meet the PLS Music Syllabus outcomes and the 21st CC?

2) How do students learn to improvise in the CFMI programme designed by the teachers?

3) What are the learnings gained from the CFMI programme from the teachers’ and students’ perspectives?

4) What are the responses of the teachers and students to the CFMI programme?

5) How do teachers’ experiences implementing the CFMI programme inform the professional development needed to support the implementation?

Requirements:

• At least a good honours degree in the relevant fields (social science, music, education/music education)
• Proficient knowledge in qualitative analysis
• Relevant skills in academic research (e.g., conducting literature review, interviews)
• Prior experience in research either at the undergraduate or postgraduate levels
• Technologically competent: able to exploit hardware and software for qualitative data analysis
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to relate to children /teenagers
• Ability to work independently

Responsibilities:

• Conduct literature review in the relevant fields
• Obtain consent from research participants
• Conduct field work at MOE sites
• Administer student/teacher/parent survey forms
• Conduct interviews with selected research participants
• Analyse all qualitative data
• Code, organise, analyse, and present the respective data
• Assist with the final report on the findings
