Statistical Analysis of the Impact of Mindfulness Training on Academic Performance of Students with Special Needs

A Case Study of Ghana Communication Technology University

Mindfulness training has gained popularity in institutions of learning in recent years due to perceived benefits, including heightened focus, reduced levels of stress, and improved cognitive functioning. This paper assesses the impact of mindfulness training on academic performance using statistical modeling techniques. It conducts a randomized controlled trial that involves university students who were randomly assigned to either a mindfulness training group or a control group. Data were analysed using various statistical models, including linear regression and variance analysis. The overall results show that there is a statistically significant improvement in the academic performance of students who undergo mindfulness training. Therefore, mindfulness is an effective intervention for school settings.
