‘Public Successes but Private Breakdowns?’
This study highlights the importance and urgency of safeguarding students’ mental well-being, the potential of the hierarchical CTL pedagogy’s favourable implication for academic performances and a call to action, as evidenced by an empirical study to nudge educators to reconsider our pedagogical approach that departs from the authoritarian M&A OOO studios. Education is consequently about character development, empowerment, enabling, and the transformation of the individual so that they can intervene in this world.
