The current study investigated how perceived wellness, motivation, and self-directed learning measures change as students progress through the new FHP program and examined correlations between the perception of wellness, motivation, self-directed learning measures, and academic success. As students progressed through the program there was an increase in perceived wellness (p\u003C0.05), a decrease in self-directed learning readiness (p\u003C0.05), and a decrease in motivation to learn (p\u003C0.05). There were no significant correlations between wellness, self-directed learning readiness, motivation, and academic success. These findings suggest our program curriculum should be improved to increase our students’ self-directed learning readiness and motivation. Possible approaches to bridge the gap may include an emphasis on problem-based learning and a flipped classroom model.  \nEn septembre 2021, le Collège Durham a lancé un nouveau programme d'études en promotion de lasanté et de l'activité physique qui met davantage l'accent sur la promotion de la santé et le programmed'études sur le bien-être. La présente étude porte sur l'évolution de la perception du bien-être, de la motivation et des mesures d'apprentissage autonome au fur et à mesure que les étudiants et les étudiantes progressent dans le nouveau programme de promotion de la santé et de l’activité physique et examine les corrélations entre la perception du bien-être, la motivation, les mesures d'apprentissage autonome et la réussite scolaire. Au fur et à mesure que les étudiants et les étudiantes progressent dans le programme, on observe une augmentation de la perception du bien-être (p\u003C0,05), une diminution de l'aptitude à l'apprentissage autonome (p\u003C0,05) et une diminution de la motivation à apprendre (p\u003C0,05) . Il n'y avait pas de corrélation significative entre le bien-être, l'aptitude à l'apprentissage autonome, la motivation et la réussite scolaire. Ces résultats suggèrent que le curriculum de notre programme devrait être amélioré pour augmenter la préparation à l'apprentissage autonome et la motivation de nos étudiants et de nos étudiantes.
