Mindfulness training has a lot of benefits including a positive influence on brain regions relate to emotion control, and it also helps to cope with stress, anxiety and other negative feelings so that people could focus on present events better. The effectiveness of mindfulness on academic achievement is not clear enough although there are studies about the effect on academic achievement from other approaches like digital learning and executive functions. Previous researches have already supported that mindfulness is effective to enhance immune systems and individual well-being. For the present study, how effective is mindfulness on the educational field would be discussed. The present study discusses the benefits of mindfulness training to students in different developmental stages with different developmental needs. Further, how mindfulness affects mediators to improve academic performance was also discussed. Limitations of studies are included, most studies did not systematically research mediators, instead, they have only one mediator discussed in each study. Most studies are cross-sectional instead of longitudinal, long-term changes across stages are needed. Moreover, the studies always use only one kind of mindfulness training, different effects from different kinds of mindfulness training need to be found.
