Abstract:

In an era of severe epidemic, the trait’s of mindfulness is vital to the performance of students' resilience. The general social depression of students under the epidemic can enhance the inherent protective factors of their resilience through the display of mindfulness characteristics, which in turn affects their daily life, learning performance and the development of interpersonal relationships. Therefore, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of Mindful Awareness Attention Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale for 96 students aged 10-12 years old in Taiwan. At the same time, they used individual online and face-to-face interviews to understand their actual performance. The questionnaire analysis found the correlation between mindfulness and resilience. Up to p=0.00; r=0.494; It is learned from students’ self-reports that anxiety during the outbreak can be adjusted by the performance of the trait’s of mindfulness, so that learning and life can be maintained at a stable level. The results of the study found that:
(1) Students’ mindfulness traits are positively correlated with resilience;
(2) Students can show positive and positive performance in online learning or in practice;
(3) Students with higher trait’s of mindfulness. Under the changing lifestyle of the epidemic, they can be highly adaptable, and be able to accept and abide by the relevant standards of epidemic prevention, so that the physical and mental condition and academic performance can be balanced.
The Researchers put forward relevant suggestions based on the conclusions of the research, and put forward practical results for future researchers as reference.
