Location
Alter Hall Poster Session 2 - 3rd floor
Abstract
Contemplative Pedagogy is a relatively new form or method of teaching in which mindfulness is at the priority. Contemplative Pedagogy focuses on the student and their mental and emotional well-being as well as their connection to their mind and body. The idea of the pedagogy is for the student to connect themselves deeper with the subject they are learning. In the writing classroom this is pertinent because of the shifting ideology of education and the role of the student. In this poster, an overview of the field of Contemplative Pedagogy will be discussed, as well as how it specifically applies to the writing classroom. Research about the efficacy of this pedagogy and which practices aid particularly in the writing classroom will be shown and described. Research and data come from various other scholarly academic journals pertaining to Contemplative Pedagogy. The various pedagogical practices and how they are applied into the writing classroom will be showcased with the accompanying data.
