Abstract

ABSTRACT This longitudinal mixed-methods study, which consisted of (1) questionnaire surveys and (2) individual in-depth interviews, explored the development of the spiritual wellbeing of university students over the past four years under the cultivation of holistic education. A sample of 276 in quantitative and 32 students in qualitative studies was successfully followed up. The quantitative results suggest a main effect of time on the spiritual wellbeing of students, though no significant interaction effect is found between time and other variables, including gender, age and major disciplines. Qualitative results further show that holistic education through experiential learning contributes highly to the development of Chinese university students’ spiritual wellbeing in three specific domains, namely personal and communal, environmental and transcendental. The finding indicates that (1) environment-related forces and (2) education-related dynamics were critical factors for the successful implementation of holistic education through experiential learning in universities.

全人教育中大学生精神健康的培养:纵向混合方法研究

摘要本研究采用问卷调查和个人深度访谈相结合的纵向混合方法，探讨了在全人教育的培养下，过去四年大学生精神幸福感的发展。对276名定量研究对象和32名定性研究对象进行了成功的随访。定量结果表明，时间对学生的精神健康有主要影响，但时间与其他变量(包括性别、年龄和专业学科)之间没有显著的交互作用。质性结果进一步表明，体验式学习的全人教育对中国大学生在个人与社区、环境与超验三个特定领域的精神幸福感发展有显著的促进作用。研究发现:(1)环境相关力量和(2)教育相关动力是大学体验式学习全人教育成功实施的关键因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
