Contemplative Teaching and Learning
Book Description
In an age where constant digital distractions fragment our attention, Keith Kroll presents a thoughtful exploration of how higher education can cultivate deeper ways of knowing and being. While academic institutions have long excelled at developing critical thinking and analytical skills, Kroll argues for an equally important dimension of learning that has been largely overlooked.
This concise yet profound work introduces readers to contemplative approaches in educational settings, offering a pathway beyond traditional intellectual frameworks. Kroll demonstrates how incorporating reflective practices and mindful awareness into teaching and learning can transform the educational experience for both instructors and students.
The book addresses a fundamental challenge of our distraction-heavy culture by proposing methods that help learners develop sustained attention and inner awareness. Rather than abandoning rigorous academic standards, Kroll shows how contemplative practices can complement and enhance traditional higher-order thinking skills.
Through his examination of transformative learning approaches, readers discover practical ways to integrate mindfulness and reflection into educational environments. The work speaks to educators seeking to nurture not just intellectual development but also the cultivation of presence and deeper understanding in their students.
For anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and education, this book offers valuable insights into creating more holistic learning experiences that honor both the mind's analytical capacity and its contemplative potential.
