Abstract

The global teacher shortage crisis, marked by high attrition rates within the first five years of service, highlights the importance of fostering flourishing in teacher professional education. This study aims to examine how the PERMA dimensions of flourishing are manifested among Indonesian teacher education students to generate culturally responsive and contextually grounded insights that support teacher readiness and retention. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, data were collected from 312 students across faculties and semesters. Phase 1 employed MANOVA to examine demographic variations in PERMA scores using validated instruments. Phase 2 involved thematic analysis of 24 in-depth interviews to explore students’ lived experiences of flourishing. Joint displays and meta-inferences were used to integrate quantitative and qualitative findings. Results showed no significant demographic differences in PERMA scores, challenging assumptions about variation based on gender, faculty, or semester. However, qualitative findings revealed culturally nuanced expressions of flourishing, including collective emotional experiences, relational engagement, service-oriented meaning-making, and communal celebration of individual success. These insights suggest that while the PERMA framework remains structurally relevant, its expression in collectivist cultures like Indonesia reflects unique cultural pathways. This study contributes to the global discourse on positive psychology by highlighting the need for culturally grounded applications of flourishing. The findings offer a foundation for developing teacher education programs that are both evidence-based and culturally responsive, enhancing well-being and long-term commitment among future educators.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze parents' and teachers' perceptions of the readiness of early childhood education (ECE) schools during the transition period from ECE to elementary school (ES). The approach is descriptive and quantitative, with correlation analysis. The research population consists of parents of ECE and first-grade elementary school students, as well as ECE and first-grade elementary school teachers in Bandung City, West Java. Data were collected from 364 parents and 112 teachers. The research instrument is a Likert-scale questionnaire (1-5) covering aspects of child readiness, parent readiness, teacher roles, home routines, and school communication. Data analysis includes frequency distributions, percentages, means, standard deviations, distribution patterns, and skewness. The analysis results show an average (M) parent perception of 4.0 with a standard deviation of 0.87, and an average teacher perception of 4.31 with a standard deviation of 0.61. There are significant relationships of 0.81 between child readiness and parent readiness, and of 0.74 between parent readiness and perceptions of teacher roles. These findings emphasize the importance of collaboration between parents and schools in supporting children's school readiness.
