Introduction[edit | edit source]

Langer's definition of mindfulness describes it a as "the process of actively noticing new things. When you do that, it puts you in the present(.....)It’s the essence of engagement". [1]According to Langer this way of approaching learning promotes engagement and mind-openennes, results in better performance and allows the learner to focus on present when using experience from the past. [1][2]Digital learning demonstrates a great educational potential. [3] It enable interactions that closely approximate the interactions that occur in a real world.[3]

Mindfulness and Mindlessness[edit | edit source]

Mindfulness is described as a state of mind. It is a state of conscious awareness and a state of openness.[4]

The advatages of mindfulness include:

  • An ease with paying attention and noticing subtle changes in reality[2]
  • Remembering more what has been done[1]
  • Being more creative[1]
  • Taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves[1]
  • Generate more positive results[1]

Mindlessness is a state of mind opposite to mindfulness. It relies on the experience from the past, it is like a habit where individuals rely on automatic processing. [4]
