Mindfulness and Game-Based Learning

About The Unique and Dynamic CPD Course

Game-based learning refers to the borrowing of certain gaming principles and applying them to real-life settings to engage users (Trybus 2015), with a specific 'educational' goal in mind. The motivational psychology involved in mindful, game- based learning enables and empowers students to engage with educational materials in a meaningful, safe, playful and dynamic way, to reach a specific, sustainable goal or 'awareness'. This is not gamification, which is 'adding game mechanics into nongame environments, like a website, or online community'.

This CPD experience will explore in practical ways,  the application of mindfulness in, and with game-based learning in schools. This CPD will explore, examine and apply the reality and potential of these complimentary, self-awareness, self-care and learning 'environments', to enable a deeper understanding of their Strengths, Challenges, Opportunities and Threats in our various curricula and daily lives in classrooms.
