Contemplative Pedagogy
This would be relevant at any time but maybe particularly during the pandemic and in an online environment?
Method 1: Mindfulness
(Barbezat and Bush)
Could be used during tutorials and crits?
Method 2: Beholding
(Barbezat and Bush, Haynes, Joel Upton)
Could be used during lectures, seminars?
Method 3: Contemplative Reading
(Barbezat and Bush, Bach and Alexander, Corrigan)
Could be used in workshops? Maybe assessment workshops?
Method 4: Contemplative Writing
(Barbezat and Bush, Bach and Alexander)
Could be used in workshops?
