Abstract: This study explores the critical link between innovative educational perspectives and student well-being, specifically focusing on happiness and self-efficacy. Traditional pedagogical approaches often prioritize rote memorization and standardized assessments, potentially neglecting the development of students’ intrinsic motivation, emotional intelligence, and sense of competence. This paper argues that adopting innovative educational perspectives, such as project-based learning, inquiry-based instruction, personalized learning pathways, and social-emotional learning integration, can significantly enhance student happiness and self-efficacy. By fostering agency, collaboration, and authentic engagement, these approaches empower students to take ownership of their learning, develop a growth mindset, and cultivate a belief in their ability to succeed. The abstract highlights the potential of these innovative models to create a more positive and supportive learning environment, leading to improved academic outcomes, increased resilience, and ultimately, greater overall well-being for students. Further research is needed to empirically validate these claims and explore the specific mechanisms through which these educational perspectives contribute to student happiness and self-efficacy in diverse learning contexts. This paper explores the intersection of innovative educational perspectives with student happiness and self-efficacy. It examines how pedagogical shifts, such as personalized learning, project-based learning, gasification, and mindfulness practices, impact students’ sense of well-being and their belief in their own abilities. By synthesizing existing literature, this paper aims to highlight the theoretical foundations and empirical evidence supporting the positive relationships between these innovative approaches and student flourishing. Furthermore, it discusses potential challenges and future research directions in this area.
