Abstract:
Students and teachers alike are typically involved with various obligations, academic demands and often lack awareness regarding the highly significant and interrelated mind-body connection. The result of this can be directly observed in classrooms, with evidence of sleep-deprived inattentive students. Self-defeating lifestyle habits and various addictions can potentially inhibit learning, short and long-term goal achievement and overall wellbeing.
Engaging students with specific content topics such as sleep, physical activity, exercise, nutrition, hydration, understanding stress, and time management, can provide opportunities for reflection and change regarding unconscious choices regularly being made.
Based on student feedback, extensive research and classroom tasks implemented in various Japanese universities over the past twenty years, the presenter aims to outline the content, habit theories, tools and approaches applied. It is anticipated that participants can take away various simple methods applicable to their teaching contexts and gather insights to support students’ learning and potential.
