the ancient practices of contemplation and meditation are being explored by many universities as a new means of enhancing higher education. \u00a0the national teaching and learning forum<\/em>‘s newest issue\u00a0features the first of a two-part cover story<\/strong><\/a> devoted to “contemplative pedagogy,” or\u00a0the integration of meditative practices into teaching and learning.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>research demonstrates that this approach to teaching and learning facilitates the achievement of traditional educational goals such as improved cognitive and academic performance.\u00a0 studies also show that it fosters the development of the whole person, increasing capacities such as empathy, compassion, interpersonal skills, creativity, and self-awareness.\u00a0 thus, contemplative pedagogy is increasingly considered a vital complement to critical reasoning, rebalancing higher education to include head and heart, mind and body. as rhem explains in the ntlf<\/em> article, “faculty have found students renewed in their sense of what they originally sought from an education, a greater sense of wholeness and purpose and with an expanded sense of how to perceive and interact with both the world and with themselves.”<\/p>\n

contemplative pedagogy has been shown to benefit both students and teachers. \u00a0students have experienced it as an aid in focusing attention, improving concentration, and accessing self-knowledge.\u00a0 teachers have found that it fosters their connection to students and rejuvenates their creative engagement with teaching and research.\u00a0 accordingly, vanderbilt’s 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 is exploring the benefits and practices of contemplative pedagogy, as well as other holistic means of teaching and learning, in a \u201ccontemplative pedagogy working group.” \u00a0facilitated by julie sandine (law school) and linda manning (center for integrative health), the group consists of faculty and staff from across campus and welcomes new members at any time. \u00a0the group is meeting on monday, april 2, at 5:30pm at the cft.<\/p>\n

if you’re interested in joining the group or have any questions, please contact cft assistant director nancy chick<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
