Abstract
Contemplative/mindful education focuses on practices that enable class participants to develop awareness of the events that transpire in the moment in the classroom. Breathing meditation, radical listening, awareness of own and others’ emotions, compassion for self and others, reflection and conversation, are practices used as interventions to manage and ameliorate diverse emotions that often arise in the science classroom.
