Academic Skills Induction

Are you just starting your journey at NTI? Are you ready to dive into academic studies but unsure where to begin? You have come to the right place! 

NTI’s Contemplative Approach to Learning & Teaching

First, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with NTI’s Contemplative Taxonomy (NTI login required). This taxonomy encourages you to:

  1. set an intention for learning;
  2. set a focus for learning;
  3. notice what is happening in the process of learning;
  4. interpret how learning interacts with the personal and professionals self;
  5. apply and embody learning;
  6. reflect upon learning; 
  7. collaborate with others to challenge and build understanding; and
  8. contemplate understanding.

Implementing the steps described in this taxonomy will enable you to develop a contemplative learning practice. This is how you will deepen your engagement with study and foster personal growth. In other words, this is how you will make the most of your time at NTI.

As an NTI student, you also have access to Contemplative Resources (NTI login required). You are encouraged to use these resources to strengthen your contemplative learning practice.
