TITLE: Designing Courses with Contemplative Pedagogy Beta-1
PRESENTER: Kai Dailey
DATE: March 16, 2018 at 12PM PST
What can we learn from the pedagogies of traditional spiritual teachers to inform contemplative course design?
​
In this webinar, we will examine The Tree of Contemplative Practices from an instructional design perspective. The presentation draws on adult learning theory, cognitive science, religious studies and anthropological perspectives for a deeper analysis of these “ancient sacred technologies” (Wiethaus, 2016). An analysis of how traditional religious study aligns with adult learning theory will be shared.
