ROLE OF MINDFULNESS AND DISCIPLINE IN STUDY SKILLS FOR SCIENCE LEARNING

Abstract

The ancient Indian education system emphasized the development of mindfulness and discipline as crucial foundations for effective learning. Mindfulness techniques, originating from ancient educational practices, help students remain focused and manage stress. Discipline, as a foundation for structured learning, is crucial for achieving academic success in the field of science. In today's fast-paced science classrooms, these principles remain highly relevant for developing strong study skills such as focus, retention, critical thinking, and problem-solving. This paper explores how mindfulness and disciplined learning methods, drawn from ancient practices, can significantly improve science education outcomes today. It draws connections between historical practices and contemporary learning needs, proposing strategies for integration into modern classrooms.
