Abstract

This article is based on a five-year action-research project implemented in elementary school in Mauritius, which mobilized members of the educational community as well as various partners, and which revealed the challenges and stakes of a pedagogical experimentation that promotes well-being in the perspective of an inclusive educational community. The qualitative and quantitative survey that mobilized the different actors made it possible to measure the impacts of the experimentation, particularly on the school environment, the well-being of the children and that of the teachers. It also showed that the successful implementation of such an educational innovation was correlated to the consideration and support of all school stakeholders: students and their families, teachers and their supervisors, and outside contributors.
