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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Mindfulness and Learning: Celebrating the Affective Dimension of Education\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMindfulness and Learning: Celebrating the Affective\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDimension of Education\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-08-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400719101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-1911-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 238\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380319207564,"sku":"9789400719101","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400719101.jpg?v=1775741519","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400719101","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
