Oren Ergas’s (2017) Reconstructing ‘Education’ Through Mindful Attention provides a needed fresh perspective on education, curriculum, and pedagogy through his argument that we should position the mind at the center of learning. He makes the argument that “in here” learning should be as visible and valued as “out there” or third person learning. Ergas argues that “education” as we know it is missing any emphasis on the actual mind itself. He writes, “we have somehow managed to construct an incredibly thoughtful operation called ‘education’ that is to ‘make minds’ yet we never stop to directly examine the mind that this operation is to shape” (p. 9). The idiom one “can’t see the forest for the trees” has meaning with Ergas’s book, as he articulates the ways in which education holds power as a social construct—but one that only privileges third-person learning and devalues or makes invisible first-person learning and experience.

Oren Ergas (2017) 通过正念关注重建“教育”，通过他的论点，我们应该将思想置于学习的中心，为教育、课程和教学法提供了必要的新视角。他认为“在这里”学习应该与“在那里”或第三人称学习一样可见和受到重视。埃尔加斯认为，我们所知道的“教育”没有强调实际的思想本身。他写道，“我们以某种方式设法构建了一个令人难以置信的深思熟虑的操作，称为'教育'，即'制造思想'，但我们从未停下来直接检查该操作将塑造的思想”（第 9 页）。“只见树木不见森林”这句成语在埃尔加斯的书中很有意义，
