A7: Summit: "Future of Positive Education" | Meaning Conference 2021
A7: Summit Future of Positive Education AUG 6 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
11th Biennial International Meaning Conference 2021
Organizer: Paul T. P. Wong, Ph.D.
Discussant: Gökmen Arslan, Ph.D.
Speakers: Gilda Scarfe, Ph.D.; Brendan W. Case, Th.D.; & Julia Yang Blagen, Ph.D.
A series of disruptive events, such as the pandemic, political/social chaos, and mass killings, have raised concerns as to how we can best equip our children and young people for a harsh reality and an uncertain future (Chen et al., 2021). We need to re-imagine positive education, because skills for happiness (Seligman et al., 2009), and wellbeing through PERMA (Seligman, 2011) will not equip children with the necessary resilience skills to survive and thrive in a world full of cut- throat competition, dangers, and existential crises. Stress, competitive pressures, and insecurity are an inevitable part of human existence. That is why Seligman’s focus on positive affect needs to be complemented by such virtues and coping skills as courage, acceptance, and faith (Chen et al., 2021; Wong, 2019). A balanced approach will better prepare our children and young people for survival and flourishing in challenging times. This symposium will be chaired by Paul Wong with the following presenters: (1) Brendan Case on spirituality and flourishing, (2) Gilda Scarfe on mental toughness in education, (3) Julia Yang Blagen on social interests, and (4) Paul Wong on a developmental perspective of positive education. Gökmen Arslan is the discussant.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this symposium, participants will learn the importance of:
1. Nourishing the soul and recognizing the spiritual dimension of education
2. Replacing the mindset of seeking comfort and pleasures with that of training as an athlete or warrior
3. Delayed gratification and discipline in order to bear good fruits
4. Resolving the existential crisis in each stage of life development
