faith, spirituality, and sustainability

I am using this blog as a white board to start brain storming some of the ideas I am considering for an article to be submitted for a conference on faith, spirituality, and sustainability. This article will be co-authored by my father, Dr. Dennis, be peer reviewed, and may be selected for the Journal of Management Education.

This paper will be about pedagogy.

• CBE is a transdisciplinary framework for education with the superordinate goal of
  
• CBE is transformative in that it results in re-organizing of the students meaning making structures in addition to supplying the students with content (i.e. transmission model)'
• CBE transcends and includes best practices from educational neuroscience, positive psychology, traditional vedic learning philosophy, educational psychology etc...
• Barr and Tag refer to a new paradigm of education, the learning paradigm, which they juxtapose against the instructional paradigm. instructional paradigm puts the emphasis on what is taught as opposed to what is learned. Instructional paradigm is concerned with the known (content, information) where as the learning paradigm transcsends and includes content (nested Hierarchy) and focuses on processes of learning/knowing to maximize the students internalization/transference/learning of content.
  
• CBE focuses on the development of the learner. development is a qualitative improvement in the competence of the learner in achieving their highest goals and objectives. transcends and includes learning in the nested hierarchy.
  
• Research on Ego-development of the student
• brain integration
• development of consciousness and enlightenment

In this paper I also plan to show how principles of CBE/SCI correlate with principles from positive psychology, learning/neuroscience, systems thinking and living systems literature, human development/enlightenment practices and traditions.
