1. Introduction • - Our general purpose has not been to establish an index of child well-being, but to know which factors of child well-being are recognized by future professionals of education and how do they prioritize them. • - We argue for the recognition of the important role that teachers play in child well-being. • - Education professionals focus their educational action on those dimensions of child well-being which they consider most relevant.
2. Methodology 2009/2010 • - Questionnaire focused on the five key dimensions related to child well-being: (1) material well-being, (2) health and safety, (3) educational well-being, (4) relationships with their environment, and (5) subjective well-being. - Validation from an experts group. - Application to a pilot group of 85 undergraduate students. 2010/2011 - Likert evaluation scale with six possible levels of answer (1>6) which we have applied to a broader sample (n=805).
3. Sample description - 805 undergraduate students attending three different Spanish teacher training programmes.
4. Results • We have examined differences in perceptions of child well-being in terms of students’ personal characteristics (Variance and Scheffé’s analysis)
5. Discussion Future education professionals assessed… - are highly sensitive with respect children’s well-being, all along its five key dimensions, - and have persistent previous ideas respecting children’s well-being. Some parallelisms can be drawn between Spanish results in the Innocenti Report Card 2007 and the results we have obtained in the present research.
