Aportaciones de la Psicología Positiva aplicadas a la formación del profesorado.

This paper presents the empirical and theoretical results of Positive Psychology, emphasizing its relation with Aristotelian moral theory. Empirical research in Positive Psychology contributes a certain theoretical model about well-being, close to the Aristotelian moral thesis that happiness and well-being consists in the exercise of virtues. The implications for education that be derived are important, especially in teacher's training. If its results are correct, we need to pay major attention to virtues and character strengths, both in teaching practice and education policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
