Abstract
Early childhood teachers have an important strategic role in developing children’s golden age. Teachers with psychological well-being will be able to develop the well-being of students as well. Psychological well-being is the main function of education to maximize the growth of teachers and students. On the other side, teachers' duties and responsibilities at school cause stress easily. In this case, the "Happy Teacher" module was developed containing approaches, materials and guidelines adapted from Positive Psychology studies aimed at promoting psychological well-being in the school context. This module was developed based on literature studies and preliminary studies on the needs of early childhood education teachers in Palangka Raya, Indonesia. The Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D development model was carried out in this research, which consists of four development stages. The first stage is Define, the second stage is Design, the third stage is Development, and the fourth stage, Dissemination.The Eligibility of this module was assessed by three experts, namely content, design and language. The results of this research show the Eligible Category for module content validation (78%), as well as the Very Eligible category for design validation (87%), language validation (86%), initial module trials (80.58%), and field trials (86%). The module was also assessed by thirty teachers and obtained a percentage of 84.39% in the very Eligible Category. The “Happy Teacher” module is expected to provide practical guidance for the psychological well-being of Early Childhood Education teachers.
