Evaluation

 

PAS is evaluated by Mag.a Gülmihri Aytac as part of the research project “Mindfulness in teacher education”. As part of the evaluation process all current participants are asked to fill in standardised questionnaires at regular intervals. 

 

Interviews regarding the participants’ professional biography serve to provide further insight into the personal and professional developmental process. 

 

The evaluation process is based in the educational sciences and focuses on the effect that mindfulness and self-compassion have on the development of professional competences of teachers.
