Participating Institutions

The research group is hosted by the Institute of Applied Health Sciences and Environmental Education at the University of Szeged, which offers a number of degree programs where our students with educational qualifications—as part of their fieldwork—implement projects in line with the principles of health-promoting schools at their own workplaces, i.e., in public education organizations. When forming our participatory action research group, we reviewed the list of students enrolled in the Institute's Health Promotion, Mental Health Promotion postgraduate specialist training degree course, the Health Promoter, Mental Health Promoter Teachers’ Professional Exam degree course , and the part-time Expert in Mental Health in Relations and Community Development MA , who undertook their field-practice between 2021 and 2025. In the next step, we selected those students with a degree in education who had completed their field practice assignments at a public education institution, primarily at their own workplace. Of these 50 educators, taking several factors into consideration, seven became members of our PAR research group. Attention was paid to ensuring that the research group included educators working with lower primary, upper primary, and secondary school age groups. We also made sure that, in addition to full-time educators, the experiences of part-time educators and educators working in educational support services were also represented. We also strived to ensure that the research group was as diverse as possible in terms of length of service and settlement background (large city, small town, and village).

 

The participating educators did not represent their institutions in our work, so we do not name their workplaces. Five of the seven participants agreed to have their names published:
