The Breadth section of this treatise examines the connection and dynamics between the whole child and the educational, social, and organizational
systems that influence child growth and development. Does the health of the cell body, the student's body, and the global body have a relationship not yet understood nor utilized by 21st Century educational systems? How will advances in quantum physics, brain-based research, and bioethical behavior patterns influence new paradigms of educational excellence for the benefit of the child growing up in a digital age? These questions will be answered by tracing the development of two different viewpoints or ways of seeing reality, from the ancient Greeks through the empiricists into the 20th Century development of theories of open systems, chaos, and bio-synchronicity. The major theorists examined, analyzed, and contrasted in the following scholarly treatise include, but are not limited to, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Laszlo, Maltz, Vygotsky, Jung, Brofenbrenner, and Senge. |
