“…Students are motivated during extracurricular activities, there is no summative evaluation, they are interest-oriented and more satisfied, and they work creatively in a stimulating atmosphere. The creative process itself takes place within individual groups that contribute to recognition within the school itself, at inter-school, and on the local and wider community level (Valjan Vukić, 2016).…”

Character strengths, defined as positive personality traits that are morally valued, are an important research topic in the field of positive psychology. In this study, 130 first-year student teachers participated in an online workshop, designed by the author, on identifying and promoting character strengths. Prior to the workshop, the students completed the VIA-IS survey on character strengths. After the workshop, they answered two open-ended questions for reflecting on the process of identification and promotion of their character strengths in relation to their personal and professional development. The students had the highest scores on the character strengths of Fairness, Kindness, Teamwork, Leadership, and Gratitude, and the lowest on Bravery, Self-regulation and Love of learning. The results of the qualitative analysis showed that the participants would most use Kindness, Fairness, Love, Teamwork and Humour in their future work, while they wished to further develop their Creativity, Perseverance, Courage and Selfregulation. The role of identification and promotion of student teachers’ character strengths in their professional development and the professional identity formation is then discussed.

Primary school teachers are one of the largest professional groups in education. Their competences cover a wide range of knowledge, abilities, and skills. However, the curricula for teacher education rarely contain topics related to children’s health and lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to gain an insight into the role of primary school teachers in supporting a healthy lifestyle and the well-being of children. A systematic literature review with meta-analysis was implemented on a sample of N = 37 studies. The results showed that teachers have a significant role in strengthening physical and mental health in schoolchildren aged between 6 to 12. School-based mental health promotion programs were statistically significantly more often implemented by primary school teachers undergoing special training for program implementation (p = .025). In their early school years, children are susceptible to establishing a longterm healthy lifestyle. Hence, the development of health promotion competences should be a priority in the curriculum of teacher education.
