M4 Reflective Journal / Adult Learning Linking Theory and Practice
Contemplative pedagogy is a call to be contemplative, practice self-awareness through mindfulness and meditation and then problem solve and apply your introspective knowledge to critical issues such as social justice. In other words, contemplative pedagogy becomes a “way of knowing†by which we can work with our emotions, gather insight into our formal and informal learning, gather insight into ourselves, problem solve, and if we choose, take our knowing into the world.
- Please discuss the topic/process of contemplative pedagogy within the framework given above.
- Do you believe that as an adult leaner, as part of your curriculum in your classes, contemplative reflection/meditation should be taught? Why or why not?
- Do you work with any contemplative tool such as mindfulness, contemplative reflection, relaxation? If so please give example(s). And cite using APA style.
