The COVID-19 pandemic has a major impact on the features of students’ learning environment. These changes can increase the difficulties and ill-being of students in Higher Education (HE). Yet, Instructional Practices (IP) can be an important level for the teachers to prevent students from ill-being and to ease their adaptive transition to HE. In order to investigate this question, the current study proposes to analyse the impact of IP on more than 2.000 students scattered on 20 different courses. Multilevel analyses allowed us to assess the impact of IP on students’ positive and negative emotions. Moreover, focus group were carried out with students in order to understand more deeply the role of the teacher in their experience of the transition to HE. These results provided several guidelines to regulate IP in order to promote students’ well-being into HE.
