Abstract

In this study, four classes of primary school students in grade 4 in Beijing were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group received an 11-week digital mindfulness intervention course, which foreign online mindfulness courses were used, played by computer, and presented by projector. Executive function and mindfulness level, strength and difficulty scale, adolescent multidimensional anxiety scale and academic achievement were measured before and after the intervention. Among them, the level of mindfulness, strength and difficulty scale, adolescent multidimensional anxiety scale and academic achievement were completed on computer. SPSS software was used to analyze all data. After 11 weeks of mindfulness intervention, repeated measures ANOVA showed that students in the mindfulness intervention group significantly improved their cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory. The level of mindfulness in the intervention group was significantly improved. However, there was no significant improvement in the total score of the strength and difficulty scale and other dimensions. The conclusion shows that the computer information technology based 11-week digital mindfulness intervention for primary school students is effective, so digital mindfulness intervention is a potentially effective and cost-effective way to improve executive function and mindfulness level of primary school students.
