Contemplative Pedagogy

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?
