Description

Within the context of higher education, namely in microlearning and micro-credentials, the core principles of mindfulness, compassion, and Ubuntu play a pivotal role in instigating a significant and transformative shift in the educational landscape. Mindfulness practices enable the cultivation of engaged awareness in the current moment, while the cultivation of compassion enhances an individual's ability to empathize. Moreover, Ubuntu fosters a sense of connectivity among individuals. Integrating these elements within the educational curriculum, pedagogical strategies, and cultural customs fosters comprehensive growth, moral progress, and interconnectivity. It facilitates the development of individuals who exhibit social responsibility and empathy and provides a comprehensive foundation for leadership. The successful application of educational practises requires the integration of many strategies, which in turn facilitates substantial and compelling growth. 2024, IGI Global.
