Social and Pedagogical Aspects of Mindfulness Training, a discourse analysis

正念训练，虽然仍然是一个相对较新的现象，正在从以前的医疗环境进入主流社会，随着它的扩大，对高素质正念教师的需求也在增加。然而，正念教育和训练仍然是大多未研究。拟议的项目旨在通过从宏观和微观层面的话语分析角度分析正念训练的社会和教学方面来解决这一研究空白。这项研究将为正念教育的教学法提供急需的社会科学基础，这项研究的直接影响可能是提供一个经验基础，为教师培训提供信息。

Mindfulness training, whilst still a relatively new phenomenon, is entering mainstream society from a previously medical setting and with its expansion comes an increased demand for highly qualified mindfulness teachers. However, mindfulness education and training remains mostly unstudied. The proposed project aims to address this research gap by analysing the social and pedagogical aspects of mindfulness training from both a macro and a micro-level discourse analysis perspective. The research would provide much needed social science groundwork into the pedagogy of mindfulness education and a direct impact of this study could be the provision of an empirical base which would inform teacher training.
