Description:In recent decades, education at all levels has been seriously impoverished by a growing obsession with standards, targets, skills and competences. According to this model, only a circumscribed range of basic cognitive skills and competences are the business of education, whose main role is to provide employability credentials for people competing for jobs in the global economy. The result is a one-dimensional, economistic and bleakly utilitarian conception of the educational task. In" Mindfulness and Learning: Celebrating the Affective Dimension of Education," Terry Hyland advances the thesis that education stands in need of a rejuvenation of its affective function the impact it has on the emotional, social, moral and personal development of learners. Drawing on the Buddhist conception of mindfulness, he advances a powerful argument for redressing this imbalance by enhancing the affective domain of learning. "Mindfulness and Learning: Celebrating the Affective" "Dimension of Education" shows how the concept and practice of mindfulness non-judgmental, present moment awareness and experience can enrich learning at all levels. Mindfulness thus contributes to the enhanced achievement of general educational goals, and helps remedy the gross deficiency of the affective/emotional aspects of contemporary theory and practice. The author outlines a mindfulness-based affective education (MBAE) programme and shows how it might be introduced into educational provision from the early years to adult education with a view to harmonising the cognitive-affective balance across the system.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
