Research on mindfulness in schools is growing, mainly from psychology and prevention science. Evidence suggests school-based mindfulness programs can improve students' self-regulation, but effects on other outcomes across different ages are mixed. The current research has significant limitations, and wider critiques point to important future directions. The authors recommend improving experimental methods, expanding developmental research, and rethinking assumptions to build a more holistic, non-dualistic science grounded in relationships, culture, context, ethics, and development.
