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]
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.[3]
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. [3]
