mindful leader development of undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
abstract
this case study examined a six-week mindfulness intervention in a higher education leadership
course. higher education has a critical role to play in preparing 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
to navigate this worldwide
terrain with success by nurturing self-awareness (foundational for leader development) that past clinical
research has shown can help 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
deal more effectively with challenges, and achieve academic and
career success. since the impact of contemplative approaches on undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
was sparse, this
intrinsic single-case study aimed to understand the mindfulness experiences of thirteen undergraduate
世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
enrolled in a higher education leadership course, along with two faculty members. intrinsic case
studies arise from the investigator’s inherent curiosity in a classroom-level practical inquiry that
integrated a new pedagogy (i.e. mindfulness) into teaching methods to learn, develop and refine this
contemplative practice. mindfulness is a competency required for effective leader development that was
used as a five-minute opening, using the headspace guided meditation, every class for a period of six weeks.
the social change model (scm) guided this case study using qualitative methods (focus group,
semi-structured interviews, post-survey, personal journals, observation/field notes, course artifacts, audiovisual
recordings, meditation records via the insight timer) to evaluate the impact of mindfulness on
undergraduate intrapersonal development. scm focuses on intrapersonal development within the
cognitive, affective and behavioural dimensions of the individual domain, and was used to evaluate the
impact of mindfulness. seventy-five percent of participants reported greater self-awareness, and also
expressed the following themes: deep honesty, self-understanding, focus, open-mind (clarity and
optimism), relaxed and calm, problem-solving internal conflict, empathy, genuine congruence,
confidence, creativity, accountability, and self-improvement. some participants perceived that
mindfulness and leadership were integral and intertwined, and motivated them to become better leaders.
the findings suggest that this intertwining was helpful and strengthened the intrapersonal development of
