Understanding the History, Theoretical Perspectives, and Influence of Mindfulness: Building Sustainability through Mindfulness in Education
International Journal of Educational Reform, v34 n1 p21-42 2025
This study presents an understanding of the influence of mindfulness in the educational field at student, teacher, and principal levels. The review includes a definition of mindfulness, value of mindfulness, and a new perspective of education based on physical and mental health. The prevailing COVID-19 pandemic subjects school academics to unexpected situations. I present in this paper the history, practice, and influence of mindfulness in both Eastern and Western traditions as a proven stress reliever. I also evaluate its impact on the training that students, teachers, and principals undergo, and are thus likely to provide, throughout their schools.
