    Resource Links

    Description

    • Do you want students to be truly attentive to your course content?
    • Do you want them to be creative problem-solvers?
    • Do you want them to think more deeply about what they are learning?
    • In this short, highly interactive workshop, Dr. Alison Barton shares the research findings of Dr. Ellen Langer et al., with time for discussion and application of practices that are implied from the research. “Mindful learning,” according to Langer, is a strictly cognitive approach with an emphasis on deliberate focus and attention in the educational setting.  Research-based strategies from this perspective can lead to more effective approaches to teaching and learning, as well as reconsideration of existing myths about how to best promote learning.
