dc.description.abstract | With the rising presence of mindfulness practices in schools in Ireland, it is important to
review and assess the experiences of those implementing the practice. In particular,
teachers' understanding of the topic needs to be considered. This research study reports
the experience of seven teachers in a school which does not incorporate a particular
mindfulness programme or whole school approach to the practice. Findings point to a
high level of openness to mindfulness in schools. However, a lack of time to include the
practice in the school day was evident, as well as an understanding of mindfulness that
in some cases does not align with its fundamental aims. The author concludes that there
is a need for mindfulness in schools. It can be particularly beneficial in counteracting
the sense of time-deprivation experienced by teachers, and hence teachers should be
provided with resources in order to offer a more comprehensive practice to children. | |
