INT 560 - Foundations of Integrative Learning I (IL and MIL)

This course is an exploration for an integral social and philosophical framework both in worldview and specifically in regard to education. A focus on personal relevancy and practical application in a rapidly changing world facilitates an exploration of meaning, purpose and compassion in learners’ lives and in the educational environments that they create. This search for meaning and purpose is augmented by an examination of historical and contemporary contributions to educational thinking and research. Students explore how integral learning, ecological literacy systemic perspective, virtual communication, dialogue and contextual thinking, create a new paradigm for teaching and learning.
