Description:

This book presents the background information and ideas for the practical application of contemplative practices across academic curriculum from the physical sciences to the humanities and arts. Contemplative pedagogy is more than a new, trendy technique to change the landscape of learning. Rather, it is the use of first–person involvement that helps to develop sophisticated problem–solving, empower students to draw on their own experience to the material they are learning; and support students’ sense of connection to others. Examples of techniques include mindfulness, meditation, yoga, deep listening, contemplative reading and writing, and more.
