| Sommario/riassunto: | Contemplative pedagogy is a way for instructors to:empower students to integrate their own experience into the theoretical material they are being taught in order to deepen their understanding;help students to develop sophisticated problem-solving skills;support students' sense of connection to and compassion for others; and engender inquiries into students' most profound questions.Contemplative practices are used in just about every discipline-from physics to economics to history-and are found in every type of institution.
