Parents' and Teachers' Views Towards Happiness Curriculum: Reflections on Learning Outcomes and Gaps

Abstract

This paper explores the views of parents and teachers towards the happiness curriculum being implemented in Delhi government schools since 2018. The data was collected from 40 school teachers and 100 parents using an online survey and semi-structured interviews with some of them. The survey was conducted through google forms which consisted of two sections. Sections A used Likert scale items, while section B consisted of open-ended qualitative questions to find parents' and teachers' views about the happiness curriculum. After the survey, 10 teachers and 20 parents were approached for telephonic interviews to get deeper insights about the data. The study throws light on outcomes and gaps in the implementation of the happiness curriculum and suggests directions for the future.
