Abstract

Modern mindfulness is a catch-all term. Just exactly what it looks like the context of education and how it is taught vastly varies. As such, program fidelity and integrity is questioned. Here a definition of mindful self-regulated learning is proposed and the Mindful Self-Regulated Learning Scale (m-SRLS) is developed. This includes item generation and development, systematic testing of item performance, scale dimensionality, convergent and divergent validity, measurement invariance across groups and subgroups, and scale reliability over a series of five pilot studies and four primary studies utilizing independent samples. The resulting m-SRLS is a context specific measurement tool that can be used to assess the effectiveness of secularized mindfulness training programs with specific focus on their utility in education
