This article exposes the results of a research project on Mindfulness practice within a scientific and pedagogical frame. School stress and empathy were selected as variables to be measured through questionnaires in two teenage groups of Institución Educativa Distrital Juan Lozano Lozano in Suba locality of Bogotá. This constituted a correlational quantitative study, with a quasi-experimental design using a control group, and pre and post measurements. The treatment consisted in a two month practice of meditation. In order to analyze the existence of significant differences between the pre-test and post-test measurements, both in the experimental and control groups, the Student's t was used for related samples. An analysis of the experimental and control groups was carried out based on the differences before and after the intervention in both groups, using the student's t test for independent samples.

Keywords : Mindfulness; school stress; empathy; academic performance.
