Abstract

The mental health of left-behind and workers’ migrant children is attracting social attention. Although teacher-giving mindfulness courses have been evidenced to improve school children’s emotions and attention levels effectively, their implementation is facing challenges when teachers and funds lack is a common problem in the schools of left-behind and workers’ migrant children. This study states a solution of applying for a saas-based mindfulness course as an alternative. After defining the requirements for running mindfulness courses in the schools of left-behind and workers’ migrant children, Xioa E Tech, one of the biggest SAAS platforms in China, was selected. A 2 (group) x 2 (time) experiment was designed to explore whether saas-based mindfulness courses can replace trained mindfulness teachers. Ninety-two migrant school children participated in the study. All the students took pre-test and post-test of MAAS-C, POM, PANAS, and MQW. After a 6-week saas-based mindfulness practice, the mindfulness, inner peace, negative emotion regulation, and attention of the experimental group improved significantly. This result indicated that saas-based mindfulness courses could be an effective alternative for trained mindfulness teachers. It might solve the problems of children’s mental health and the resources limitation of left-behind and workers’ migrant children schools.
