Contemplative Teaching and Learning

Edición de la obra Contemplative Teaching and Learning

"Higher education has historically done well in fostering teaching and learning with respect to critical reasoning and quantitative analysis--what might be described as higher-order thinking skills. But in our culture today, which can best be described as one kind of distraction, we also need an education--a kind of thinking, of being, of knowing--that fosters teaching and learning that develops contemplative methods and practice. This kind of learning teaches students to be reflective, to be mindful, and to pay attention."--From publisher.
