• In Event: Roundtables B
  In Roundtable Session: DDL- Roundtables B

Short Description

Addressing students’ mental and emotional needs has been increasingly important since the pandemic. Mindfulness techniques can be beneficial for students. This between-subject, mixed-methods study will involve three groups of students. Group 1 will use a technology-based mindfulness technique in the form of a nature video. Group 2 will be asked to disconnect from technology (i.e., digital detox). Group 3 will have a regular break. Measurements will include students’ performance, self-reported anxiety, mindfulness levels, and self-efficacy.
