SUMMARY
Over the recent years, educationists and researchers have diverted to a new psychological construct known as mindfulness. Mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation and it has been assumed that mindfulness practices employed in modern psychology originate from this tradition. The current study was conducted with the objective to find the level of Mindfulness among Prospective Teachers and to find the difference in Mindfulness that exists among prospective teachers based on Gender and Type of Institution. 520 students participated in the study. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), a scale developed and standardised by Baer, Smith, Hopkins, Krietemeyer, & Toney (2006) was used in this study. The findings of the study indicated that Prospective Teachers have a low level of Mindfulness and they differ significantly in the mean scores of Mindfulness and its dimensions based on Gender and Type of Institution.
